Remember how most fans scoffed at the allegations made in Jose Canseco’s book Juiced? He really was a prophet of the baseball future telling truths fans didn’t want to hear. I wonder what he’s doing now with his new found credibility…

Jose Canseco says in his new book that he introduced Alex Rodriguez to a steroids distributor and that A-Rod was trying to sleep with Canseco’s wife, according to the web site of freelance writer Joe Lavin, who says he obtained Vindicated: Big Names, Big Liars, and the Battle to Save Baseball on Monday from a bookstore in Cambridge, Mass. The book is due to be released Tuesday. A-Rod on the claims: “I really, absolutely, have no reaction,” and “I don’t know how to answer that.” Associated Press

That credibility must have really been burning a hole in his pocket; he had it for about a month. I wonder what else he’s got in store…

Canseco is rumored to be already working on a third book entitled Here’s Some More Shit I Just Made up and other Axes I have to Grind in which Canseco recounts introducing Cal Ripken to an ecstasy dealer and Cal’s failed repeated attempts to seduce Canseco’s mailman and the ensuing graphic sexual assault that followed. The book is expected to be released Mid-July in time to try and exploit the All Star Break. –Lonestar Mets

I guess Jose blew all his money from Juiced on hookers and blow and needs loose cash again. Again, Canseco may be a willing dupe of the A-Rod media machine. This comes on the heels of another A-Rod story. Painting A-Rod in a victim role to make him more likable may work based on the fact that nothing else has.
