Today, Lenny Dykstra pleaded no contest to three counts of felony grand theft auto and one count of submitting false statements to a financial institution stemming for allegedly leasing sweet rides with bogus paperwork. In return for said pleading, 21 other charges were dropped and Nails was ROR'd until his January sentencing. More »

Aaron Michael Plaat knows what you probably think about Lenny Dykstra. That he's a licorice-chomping prick or a shifty grifter who belongs behind bars, like he currently is. But the 24-year-old Ohio State "go-getter" grad doesn't see him that same way, though he easily should. More »

Giving Doc Gooden bad advice is like buying the Pope a crucifix: he's received more than his fair share over the years, and probably doesn't need any more. So we're glad he ignored Dykstra's efforts to bust him out of "Celebrity Rehab." [CBS] More »

Lenny Dykstra's coat-tailing of Charlie Sheen has almost become as annoying as everything else Sheen (after a very good run, though). But the aftermath of Nails's wholly impressive interview with the NBC affiliate in Philly the other night continues resonating beyond his choice words about winning (and living in Macy Gray's old house, mind you), Mitch Williams and victorious sobriety.

The Lenny Dykstra/Charlie Sheen revival tour can't do nothing but gather steam. Just two days after Dykstra vouched for the coke-fueled genius that is Sheen, they took to the radio waves to "set the record straight on the myriad of exaggerations, misinformation and outright falsehoods about his life that have been whipped up by the establishment media."

It was always supposed to come to this: Lenny Dykstra singing the "exclusive" praises of his pal Charlie Sheen to Radar Online. But Lenny being Lenny, there has to be an endgame, and that endgame could very well be squatter's rights on a spare room at Sheen's L.A. mansion, where he was hanging last Friday. More »

Now I may not be some big-city financier, but Lenny Dykstra had me at "The steroid issue really isn't relevant right now. ... But [Jim] Cramer's been the only guy that's been correct. ... I'm 168-0 right now." More »

So, not only was Dykstra's supposed success in picking stocks a complete sham, but today it comes out that he secretly accepted $250,000 worth of shares in exchange for pimping an obscure stock. How is this man not in jail yet? More »

For the low low price of $3200 (which isn't nearly low enough), Dykstra will sign some magazine articles for you, put them under glass, and give you a phone call too. Collect, I would assume. [Craigslist] More »

I had the pleasure of interviewing former Phillie/Met Lenny Dykstra over the phone last year when he launched his extravagant "Players Club" magazine. As a Phillies fan, this was one of those moments that was completely surreal and exciting — and he was stoked ( I believe he actually said "stoked") to be talking to someone from Philly about his magazine. "You should come write for us, man!" he said. More »

Did that Lenny "Wally Wall Street" Dykstra story from yesterday seem a little fishy? (And familiar?) Well yes, his troubles with a few of his business partners have been well documented, but those were just friendly disagreements over strategy and don't really change the fact that the guy is filthy rich from playing the stock market. Surely, his perfect record of winning choices will hold up under greater scrutiny right? Well, Adam Warner of Daily Options Reports wrote to us to share some thoughts about that: More »

It goes without saying that now is not a particularly strong time to be in the stock market. I believe the entire NASDAQ exchange can be had for approximately $42 and a sandwich, but buying it somehow starts foreclosure proceedings on your home. (Finance is complicated.)
