Drugs are fun and drugs make life easy.

What he is yet to discover is that he is burning a winning lottery ticket.
This low character fool peaked at 17 years old. I’m not sure what is worst fate.

He’ll be out of $, and or dead in short order.

Plus, bitch is lazy.

This is going to happen. If I did the arithmetic right, he was 18-19 when he got $6.5 million because of well he played baseball in high school. Sheeeyut–if somebody had given me that much money at that age I would have been lucky to last to 21. There’s got to be another way–trust fund or something. Young people today are typically less mature than in my day, which was bad enough. And males especially, typically–not always of course, aren’t ready to take care of themselves at 18-19. Hell, something like a third of our twenty-somethings are living with their folks.

They couldn’t tell he’s a lil take the money and run weasel?

That Ackley character has had a tiny bit of success in Seattle. Strasburg on the other hand just might turn into more than a #3 starter.
