As cliché as it sounds, Lenny Dykstra did his best to break the internet Tuesday.
In just over eight hours, the former outfielder, perhaps filling the Twitter void left by John Rocker, tweeted 84 times. Sure, that probably isn’t a record, but considering it was his first day in the Twittersphere…84 times is a lot.
And as you might suspect, it started off in glorious fashion.
Oh so this is Twitter? I can say whatever the fuck I want right?

Oh, but Dykstra wasn’t done.
Sorry to say but the rumors were false. I was not secretly working as an extra on Orange is the New Black.

@LennyDykstra my worst day as a Mets fan was the day you were traded for Juan Samuel.
