Anyone watching Strawberry's recent book tour

[stevejrogers]

On with Mike Huckabee right now.

Can Strawberry just go away, please I mean how many chances at living the clean and narrow is this piece of shit going to have? Guarantee he is back in some sort of trouble in less than three years.

[Guest Kong76]

SJJ: I mean how many chances at living the clean and narrow is this piece of shit going to have? <<<

I'll pick up the book on ebay for a buck in a couple of months and probably
won't read it. Piece of shit is kinda strong imho.

[seawolf17]

Dude, that's what the library is for.

I'll agree that piece of shit is too strong a term. I've had issues with Straw blowing his MLB career up his nose. But he's been very nice to MK on a couple of occasions over the last year or so, so I'm willing to give him some benefit of the doubt and hope that he's finally gotten his act together.

He is a great con artist, I'll give him that much. Edgy DC May 03 2009 07:40 PM I don't understand "go away." You don't like what's in the news, look for something else, or go out and make your own news. But to object that a guy is getting attention, while you yourself are calling attention to him? That doesn't fly at all. Re-read cooby's post. It's as wise as it is brief. If it doesn't ring true, replace "this piece of shit" with the name of some broken addict you know. Most of us don't have to think to far to recall the fucking up we've done in our lives. seawolf17 May 03 2009 07:55 PM The guy certainly has a right to publish his memoirs or whatever. Did Darryl piss on your cat, Steve? I don't get the venom either. He's been welcomed back into the fold, he's done appearances... I don't get it. He hasn't been in jail for years, has he? Did he get caught with drugs or something recently that I missed? metirish May 03 2009 08:04 PM Rogers telling anyone to " go away" is priceless .
