Dwight Gooden said in a radio interview Monday that he was reevaluating his relationship with Darryl Strawberry because of his former New York Mets teammates recent comments that the former All-Star pitcher was a complete junkie-addict.The Darryl thing hurt me a lot because I had just thought we reestablished our relationship, Gooden told The Joe Piscopo Show.I forgave him for a lot of stuff. I never threw him under the bus, never said anything about him publicly. For him to say that stuff, you have to draw a line somewhere and I guess do a better choice of picking friends.Gooden issued a statement later Monday in sharp criticism of Strawberry, calling out his former teammate for repeatedly making our differences personal, going back to our days with the Mets.I had hoped we could keep these differences between us, his statement read, while also vehemently denying Strawberrys allegations hes using cocaine.

While I was there for him, he obviously was never there for me.Strawberry told ESPN Radio on Monday night that he is trying not to take Goodens verbal jabs personally, saying people in Goodens camp are pleased that someone finally stood up and said something about his issues and his struggles.I just felt like I needed to do this, Strawberry said in the interview. And regardless what anybody else thinks or they can call me whatever they want to call me. As long Ive known in my heart that I stepped up to do the right thing to help this man try to save his life, maybe just one day if he gets there and gets a recovery and realizes how good he is, he can come back and say thank you, you helped save my life. Strawberry said he is convinced Gooden has relapsed into the drug use that derailed his playing career.Hes very good at BSing, hes very good at blowing smoke up peoples behinds and telling them what he wants them to hear, Strawberry said.

Everyone knows that Im telling the truth.The duo, who were the subject of ESPNs 30 for 30 documentary Doc & Darryl, were recently scheduled to make a joint public appearance, but Gooden was a no-show.Hes a complete junkie-addict, Strawberry told New York Daily News about Gooden.

I am healthy. I dont have a drug problem. I mean, I am an addict ... that dont mean Im an active addict.Doc & Darryl, which debuted on ESPN last month, featured the two talking in depth about their rise to stardom as the Mets won the 1986 World Series, and then their downward spirals as each battled addictions.ESPNs Adam Rubin contributed to this report.
