Pilots to Dykstra -- We Flew, You Pay!

Lenny DykstraFormer MLB star Lenny Dykstra earned the nickname "Nails" for his tough and aggressive playing style. But four men have a new nickname for him: Deadbeat.

According to a lawsuit filed today in Los Angeles Superior Court, Dykstra has yet to fork over the cash he promised to pay four pilots in exchange for flying his private plane. Dykstra had until January 12 to pay up, the lawsuit says, but thus far he hasn't.

What's more, the four pilots claim Dykstra promised them a four-month gig, but didn't deliver on that either.

They are suing for damages, lost wages, attorneys' fees and court costs.

7. A verified Steroid user by the Mitchell report---he's been a cheater in every area of his life. He's a genius, like an idiot savant, when it comes to stock systems, but an idiot when it comes to being a human being. Would you trade places with a moron like him? He's dangerous, a liar, and a threat to even be around---danger and deceit follows the man as well as forms of success when it comes to financial forecasting. But a true dope as a person.

10.
Pilots probably top the list of DEAD BEAT DADS. Make them fight for their money. Most are closet homos anyway.

12. Lenny, I remember meeting you in St. Petersburg, FL when you and Roger McDowell were filming an MTV show at the practice field during spring training. Later that afternoon, I took a picture of you at your car, remember the red 2 door? I still have the picture. Love ya.

13. His name may still be on the car washes, but from what I understand he's been selling them off lately...and still not paying his bills.

14. Two things I find absolutely hilarious and amusing on this board:
1.) People that actually hang out so much that they take pride in posting "FIRST!" - and it is even funnier when the "FIRST!" post shows up like number 4 or 5.
2.) People that purposely make comments to raise the rackles on others - like Obama comments, insidious fat girl comments, whatever....it is totally obvious they are only looking for attention, but someone always takes the bait...oh, then the sh*t starters ALWAYS post under multiple screen names so they can never really be challenged....holy crap, is your life so small it totally revolves around a message board (try charity work, you can actually make a dent in life that waay).
