Have you seen the Celebrity Apprentice? I don't know but I just find it endlessly fascinating. You see you have these two teams of big name celebrities who are given a fairly mundane task and they proceed to totally screw it up.
The task this week is to do a four page "advertorial" for the combination of Norton and Life Loc which supposdedly will prevent identity theft. The teams were split between the men and the women and they both did a lousy job. On ad had almost no content...they even left off the number to call to order the product! The other one looked like one of Ritmo Brazileiro's posts on Althouse. Heh. You know more than a couple of words so to speak. Still and all the women won with the minimalist approach and one of the men had to get fired.
Now the track star Michael Jackson was in charge in the best Joan Crawford/Al Haig style that was pretty freaky. But he was a man about it and was willing to take the hit and be fired because he took the responsiblity like a man. Although he did say that the Governor (Rod Blagojevich) was totally useless, I mean he couldn't even turn on a lap top. Just goes to show you what politicians are really like!
But in a strange twist of fate when the Trumpster asked Daryl Strawberry who should be fired, he said "Me." Holy Bobby Valentine Batman! Why did he do that? I mean he didn't do anything so he didn't do anything wrong. But the whole deal was that he was just tired. He kept yawning and looking at his watch and taking cigaretter breaks and ordering pizza. He just didn't give a shit! So he made up some bullshit about taking the hit in a bizzare bid to just go home. So Trump obliged him and fired him.
Now in the first episode Trump asked Strawberry that he played for both teams in New York and he wanted to know what he considered himself. A Met or a Yankee. I mean he won more championships as a Yankee after all. But Daryl just said "New York, I am just a New York guy." But you see I have to disagree.
I mean after seeing this you have him pegged. He is lazy and lackadasical and unmotivated and excuse making and looking for the easy way out. A loser and a quitter.
The dude is a "True Met."

I still love doing the "Darrrrryl Darrrrrryl" razzing when the Mets are in town. I can get the whole stadium going.
Though I feel a bit sorry for this sad sack. He seems to be a likeable dope.
Strawberry and Gooden cheated both New York teams. They're to blame for crapping on the owners, players and fans of both teams. But why did the owners act as enablers? Was winning (the prospect of winning, which these two dashed time and time again) worth more than self-respect?
"Was winning (the prospect of winning, which these two dashed time and time again) worth more than self-respect?"
Yes.
See:
Taylor, Lawrence.
Clemens, Roger.
Rodriquez, Alex.
Potvin, Dennis.
Howe, Steve.
And on and on and on.
I like to remember Daryl when he was the wonder kid with all that potential.
Oh, and I hate the Mets like only a Mets fan can hate them.
