You know, I could understand how a guy continues using drugs, what gets me is, how does this guy keep getting caught?

Doing drug rehab??????? He has been doing drug rehab for over 10 years. He is a terminal drug rehab person. He will be forever. The courts, judges and lawyers let him and others like him off, time after time after time. That relief pitcher the Yankees had once, who was also with the Dodgers, Howe, I think his name was. I believe he had 7 incidents with cocaine. The only thing that finally got him out of the game was that he was too old and could not throw anymore. Strawberry should have been jailed years ago.

The report abuse button should come in handy here--Strawberry's abuse, that is. That cocaine is a powerful addiction.

That's not news for Darrell.
Breaking news would be "Strawberry not arrested today in Florida"

Just like pitchers returning to training camp, Straw gets caught with the drugs and the booze.

Speaking of Darrel... Daryl Condit was recently arrested in Florida, too. I'm glad I didn't name any of my kids Darrell.

This is a question of culpability. Strawberry is to blame for getting in this situation to begin with, with his drug habit. Once addicted, he is less in control of himself, thus one COULD argue he is not fully responsible for the repeat offenses (I wouldn't argue it, but some would).

But what about the society that keeps letting him out to do it again and again? I understand giving a guy a second chance, but he's received at least three or four shots at this.

No...I live here, they say he DID NOT TEST POSITIVE for drugs. I still don't know why he was arrested.

Maybe it's an "annual thing" now, ya know. Happens every year, why not make it a tradition.

If Darryl Strawberry had never been arrested again, the terrorists would have won. :)

Strawberry Rehabs Forever


Strawberry Deals

Let me take you down to Yankee Stadium where
Strawberry fields while making drug deals
and nothing seems to dry him out
Strawberry Rehabs forever

Living is easy for sports pros
who put the fannies in the seats

a sports star can mess up but he can still
cash out if he can hit 293

and he won't come down cause he loves his toot
when Strawberry feilds while making drug deals
as long as he can hit em out
Straberrys stash lasts forever

now when he's swinging it's strike 3
I guess he must be high on blow
and all the little kids will think that it's all right
to get high and grab a bat

Let me take you down to Yankee Stadium where
Strawberry fields while making drug deals
and they'll never kick him out
Strawberry Rehabs forever

Strawberry Rehabs forever

Strawberry Rehabs forever

he'll probably relaps forever



***PLAY NUMBER 12***
