People laughed at Canseco when he first started spilling the beans. Turned out he was right. Wouldn't shock me if he is right again.

Canseco's problem was that he got caught and then tried to bring down as many with him as he could. It did turn out that he was right, however.

It's rather ironic that he would come out and make a comparison to the mafia, as his squealing would have broken every code of honor in the mafia. He would be the first to have been eliminated by Cosa Nostra.

And, unless I'm mistaken, today is his 42nd birthday. Happy B-day Jose.

Jose Canseco is my favorite baseball player ever.

Interesting the way he called out A-Rod that way. He was right about Palmeiro before. If he's right about the MLB selling Palmeiro down the river after his allegations to try and mask their supposed cover up, the MLB could be in a world of hurt.

Part of me hopes he is not right because I have the Field of Dreams nostalgia towards baseball in me. But the Los Angeles freeway lookie-loo in me wants to see the fall out when everything hits the fan.
