The tale of Lenny Dykstra dropped another sad chapter yesterday as the former big-leaguer was sentenced to 6 ½ months in prison for bankruptcy fraud. “Nails,” as he became endeared to Mets’ fans (who already have it hard enough), is already serving three years for car theft and generally doing a whole bunch of terrible things that you aren’t supposed to do with your money.
