Canseco Wants Apology from Baseball
 
Although it doesn't make what he did right, I tend to agree w/ Canseco on this:

Jose, not so much. I did get a good chuckle when the fly ball bounced off his head for a home run, though. That was Jose's defining moment.

He admits he cheated, and he's a bad guy?

So what exactly are all the ones that "claim" they didn't know what they were taking from their trainers??

STUPID??

Talk about a Double Standard.

The only baseball player I like is Ty Cobb. The rest of them can rot.

You can't fault a guy that gives 100% every day, even if he has a penchant for gambling and hookers. That actually makes me like him better. He's a regular guy.
Even Ty Cobb's mother hated him. He gets zero points. He's Barry Bonds 100 years removed.

Well allow me to clarify: I like Ty Cobb because he WAS so thoroughly despicable--yet honest.

Cobb had racist tendencies, but he was one of Jackie Robinson's biggest supporters. :2
And as far as playing dirty, the late Eddie Guererro was famous for the saying, "Cheat to win". :D
Ric Flair is an icon and he was known as "the Dirtiest Player in the Game". :D

And Pete got screwed by baseball. He bet on his own team, not against them.

Well the incident has been boiled down here. In context, the guy was heckling Cobb for innings. Cobb told the Umpire and Managers to have the man removed, and they failed. The guy shouted something about Cobb's mother, so Ty made good on his promise to fix the situation himself.

Then Cobb led the baseball players out on strike to fix the abuse problem.
It worked.
I bet the whole scene was hilarious to watch, but you really have to wonder about a guy who beats up cripples. :al

As much as I think Jose is a clown, what he did have to say was fairly credible. If it wasn't for him being a rat who knows what would have happened or how badly things would have gotten.

I would not be surprised to see Jose floating down a river someday. He does not have many friends out there.

I don't know if Jose is very credible in any way, shape or form.
He's an egomaniac looking for some kind of redemption, an out, or forgiveness.



I have no time or respect for it.

How was it not credible? Most of the stuff he said turned out to be pretty true, he knew what he was talking about.

My favorite post baseball career Canseco moment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSodr6K93OU

6"4" somewhere around 240lb. Canseco knocked out by 5'9" and supposedly about 200lb. Via Sikahema. :r:r

Let's review...

Quote:
In the book, Canseco specifically identified former teammates Mark McGwire, Jason Giambi, Rafael Palmeiro, Iván Rodríguez, and Juan González as fellow steroid users
Mark McGwire - -

Quote:
""Asking me or any other player to answer questions about who took steroids in front of television cameras will not solve the problem. If a player answers 'No,' he simply will not be believed; if he answers 'Yes,' he risks public scorn and endless government investigations.... My lawyers have advised me that I cannot answer these questions without jeopardizing my friends, my family, and myself. I will say, however, that it remains a fact in this country that a man, any man, should be regarded as innocent unless proven guilty""

When asked if he was asserting his Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate himself, McGwire once again responded:

“ I'm not here to talk about the past. I'm here to be positive about this subject "
Jason Giambi - -

Quote:
Giambi apologized again on May 16, 2007, this time specifically for using steroids, and urged others in the sport to do the same. "I was wrong for using that stuff," he told USA Today. "What we should have done a long time ago was stand up -- players, ownership, everybody -- and said, 'We made a mistake.'" When asked why he used steroids, Giambi responded: "Maybe one day I'll talk about it, but not now."
Rafael Palmeiro - -

Quote:
According to The New York Times, Palmeiro tested positive for the potent anabolic steroid stanozolol, the same substance Olympic sprinter Ben Johnson of Canada took in 1988 when he was stripped of the gold medal at the Seoul Summer Olympics
Juan Gonzalez - -

Quote:
A story ran in the New York Daily News that claimed the bag contained steroids. But, the team and MLB looked into the matter and nothing was ever proven. Gonzalez said the bag was Presinal's, while Presinal said the bag was Gonzalez's but refuted that the bag contained steroids. According to Gonzalez's then trainer, Angel Presinal, the bag contained Soladek, (a painkiller) Dolo-neurobion, (a vitamin B complex used in fighting the flu,) and Clenbuterol, (a stimulant similar to ephedrine, which is believed within the bodybuilding community to promote muscle tone and weight loss.)
so.....he's an asshat for THAT??

Maybe that's how Jose got conked on the head by that ball that time. It was hit so hard that as it was falling the ball was screaming. The screaming scared Jose and made him misplay it.

Yeah, that's the ticket.

Ever since Canseco took that pop fly off the dome and it caromed over the wall for a home run on which he got the assist for, he has been washed up, and everything he has done since has been self centered, conceited and just flat out stupid. He is just pissed because he had a chance to be considered a great player and he has been cornered and pretty much tarred and feathered. Ps...I am also in favor of Pete Rose.
