STRAWBERRY

[ultimate7]

Right now on SPIKE TV, Strawberry Untold

[Gantry]

Watching right now, thanks.   Not on in the next couple weeks so I can't TIVO and missed the first 25 minutes or so.  But very good so far...

[Gantry]

All-in-all it was a good watch.  Got a littly sappy towards the end, but that was to be expected.  Strawberry had an impressive stint in St. Paul during one of his comebacks...

I was going back and forth between the Cubs, but what I saw looked pretty good

[BeefMaster]

Just got a call from a family friend inviting me to some sort of prayer breakfast event at which Darryl Strawberry will be appearing.  I have no idea whether I'll actually get to interact with him, but if I do, I'll be sure to mention how great he was in RBI Baseball.

And going after Armando benitez

and doing cocaine

What does a prayer breakfast involve outside of the obvious?

[Big Hath]

usually there is some kind of speaker

He'd probably disagree, but I very much enjoyed the coked up, dinger smashing Strawberry as compared to the candy assed jesus loving reborn strawberry.

Didn't one of those have colon cancer?

[BeefMaster]

He never mentioned the cancer, which I thought was strange to the point that maybe I wondered if I was conflating him with some other player or something.

His speech was pretty much what you'd expect, the classic "partying superstar/addict eventually turns to Jesus" story.  His speech was preceded by a hype video for he and his wife's ministry company that mostly featured his wife and also appeared to use the font from the Transformers movies.

God told him to give up his restaurant in New York, if you were wondering why it closed.

[TβG]

...and probably because most restaurants fail.

[ryno]

God hats restaurants

Beef, did you get to offer a ride to the airport for Straw?
