Lenny Dykstra has officially filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. This wouldn’t be so tough to take if we could comfort ourselves by the idea of Nails returning home to his Thousand Oaks manse but, oh, right, the place is set to hit the auction block tomorrow. Right about now you could say we’re feeling a high level of rage and luckily, we know exactly where to direct it: Jim Cramer. This, we’re putting it out there, is all Jim Cramer’s fault. Not because he fired Lenny from his Street.com gig, “Nails by the Numbers,” in which Dykstra dispensed investment advice to subscribers, but for JC’s bold call made back in March 2008, when Cramer told Bob Costas, “Lenny Dykstra is one of the greats in this business,” which obviously put a curse on Len’s head, as did Cramer’s insistence on wearing a Nails jersey to bed every night. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: an on-air apology is in order, as is a year’s supply of dip, a simple pleasure which LD can no longer afford.
In related news, we’re suggesting you cut your losses and run, Ron Insana.

“Bear is fine! Bear is fine!,” still to this day makes me laugh
this will make street.com reunions pretty awkward.
what do you call a raging herd of douchebags?

I never said your money is safe in Bear, that was taken out of context, as was my Lenny comment.

cramer just now: “travesty, mockery and a sham”
UBS Telecom 4evah!
Bear is fine – Lenny’s a genius – the recession is over …
Dick’s Sporting Goods forever !! Goldman’s going to $333.00/shr (remember that one?)
And Lenny doesn’t lose money; he prints it!!!
I get my investment advice from Juan Samuel so no problems here

West Coast here. Case de Nails is in Thousand Oaks, not Sherman Oaks. There’s a world of difference between the two.
Isn’t Sherman Oaks just over the hill from Hollywood and the place where most porn is produced?
@11 that is my line and it is patented you tool. Go clean my Maybach
@12, that was f’in hilarious. Tim Teufel is my guy, dont make a move without em
“In July 2009, Dykstra filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy listing fewer than $50,000 in assets against between $10 and $50 million in liabilities.”
Cha-ching! Cramer bags another winner.

Why the **** is this clown still on the air?

@17 Can you say bankruptcy fraud?

Everthing jim cramer eats turns to shit eventually.
50 million in personal debt? Is that a fucking joke?
Why is he even bothering to file under Ch 11? This case has complete fire sale written all over it.
@22 – How can anyone possibly ring up $50 mill without any assets to show for it? What could he have blown it on? I mean when he was between the lines, Lenny played baseball like no one else. How could he go off the rails?
If someone had told me this could happen to Nails, I would have snorted. I didn’t think there was a snowball’s chance in hell of it. I guess he’s behind the 8-ball now.
