Lenny Dykstra claims on the Colin Cowherd show that he hired PIs to get dirt on umpires and get favorable treatment on ball/strike calls. That claim is ridiculous on it's face, and only looks more ridiculous if you take 5 minutes and give two thoughts to the particulars.

 

I'm not sure what I draw most fom this...

 

- another data point confirming that Dykstra is a terrible human being, or

 

- that Cowherd has a national radio show is another data point confirming that society has gone to hell.

Well, Dykstra does have a lot of missing money from those years... and his walk rate did increase in his first two Phillies seasons but so did his power, etc.

 

I wonder how he allegedly blackmailed the umps with this information -- I imagine a very surprised catcher overhearing it as Dykstra stepped into the batter's box!

I refuse to acknowledge Colin's existence, this thread is invisible to me.

I just hope Luke continues to keep his dad at a distance, because that kid has a chance to be something special...
