Lenny Dytkstra's disregard for his well being reminds me of a story about the old Dodger Pete Reiser. Pete was a speedy outfielder who constantly hurt himself by turning doubles into triples and running full speed into unpadded outfield fences. As a result, he often wound up being ferried to a certain nearby Brooklyn hospital to be put back together. During one rare, brief, healthy period, Pete was dressing in the clubhouse while a sportswriter made the rounds taking an informal poll as to where the Dodgers would finsh that year, relative to the Giants and the rest of the league. Pete hadn't reaaly been paying attention, so when the writer asked him "where are you going to finsh this year, Pete?", he thought for a second, then answered, "Peck Memorial Hospital". Gotta love guys like that.
I never post anymore, but really enjoy reading all of the great stuff on the board. I know I can come here and get a lot of great links and smart commentary, the likes of which can't be found in "traditional" media, especially when it comes to drugs, supertrainers, racing asociations, etc. It's appreciated. Keep at it.
