I thought that speech by Darrow Strawberry was poignant I thought it was awesome I thought it was amazing I'm happy for

0:06.4

Darrow Strawberry what I could not get over was how nobody was there and I'm not ripping anybody because the one thing I'll

0:15.0

certainly won't do because I question myself every day for doing it is

0:18.2

continuing to spend money to watch a banned product. So I will never lecture you why didn't you go. So what I'm

For Doc in the middle of April, they got 33,000 people.

1:11.8

The Mets didn't do anything wrong. and I'm not even saying the fans did anything wrong,

1:16.0

because who am I to tell you, drop $150 to go to City Field and watch this crap product?

1:22.0

I guess what I'm trying to figure out is why do people
