Lenny Dykstra Never Disappoints In Interviews
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") ...
Lenny Dykstra's Financial Acumen Called Into Question (Again)
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 ...
Lenny Dykstra For Secretary Of The Treasury
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.) There is one man, however, w...

If you need any more proof, just remember: He's still struggling with his magazine for athletes, "The Players Club." ("Keep...
Amazingly, The Lenny Dykstra Success Story Has Hit A Snag
So, you know Lenny Dykstra is supposed to be some kind of financial genius even though, uh, he kind of looks like he'd have a difficult time tying his shoes? Bewildering, right?

Lenny Dykstra, Cosmopolitan
We know we make fun of ESPN a lot here, and much of it is justified, of course, but we are nothing if not fair. The big investigative steroid story gracing the cover of ESPN: The Magazine this week is, for lack of a better word, outstanding. Legitimately all-encompassing, it's sober, smart and ful...
Lenny Dykstra Likes Them Big Words
As we've mentioned before, we remain befuddled and terrified by TheStreet.com's hiring of former Phillies/Reds/Mets human chaw as a financial columnist. But every time a new column is posted, we keep thinking they'll admit it's a joke. But so far, nyet....
When Lenny Dykstra Speaks, People Listen
We've told you already how shocked we were to see that human wad of chaw Lenny Dykstra is writing financial opinion pieces for TheStreet.com, but we're still not quite over it. Dykstra's newest "column" has just been posted at TheStreet, and we find several statements extremely disturbing....

But it appears to be legit: Former human chaw Lenny Dykstra is writing a weekly investment column for TheStreet.com. No, really. Seriously. Lenny Dykstra — or, more likely, his ...
