And after the victory, the press saw a chance to whip out those Kyle Kendrick kompliments (and even a Kendrick/Halladay comparison or two) that they’ve been saving up just in case of Opposite Day actually happening.  As The Kyle Kendrick Khronicles kontinue, let us thank the press for making us aware that Kyle was watching football on his couch when he found out Cliff Lee had been reacquired; that he is pretty okay; and that are currently demons living inside of him.

Sheen gave his now infamous interviews, and with that, a Philadelphia-area NBC affiliate grabbed its pick axe and headed back down to mine Lenny Dykstra for some craziness.  He and Sheen are apparently buddies (I think Charlie Sheen has yet to comment on this claim, because right now I’m convinced Lenny just bet somebody $400,000 he could get a camera crew to come find him).

So Lenny dug out his favorite adventurers’ hat and sat down to talk about his friend Charlie, and all his problems with drugs and alcohol, and how he must be just fine because if Charlie’s got a problem, then Lenny’s got a problem.  And Lenny’s sane enough to give an interview about his alcoholic friend while drinking a beer in what seems to be the waiting area of an orthodontist’s office, so he’s obviously doing fine.

There’s a news story, and then there’s Lenny Dykstra’s commentary on a news story, which in turn is news itself.  News triples its own newsworthiness just by coming out of Lenny Dykstra’s mouth.  Why hasn’t anyone given him a reality show yet?  I used to think he wasn’t a mainstream enough figure to center a show around, but there’s like 12 shows all about hair salons now, so let’s not pretend audiences are picky about which asshole they watch plummet into despair.

I’m not going to say I’m not excited.  If I see one more water stain on my basement walls that looks like Cliff, I’m calling a therapist.  And maybe a priest.  But I’m quarantining my crazy to myself, and also this blog, I guess. (more…)
