Canseco is a self serving .......

[Jeffy25]

you watch his interview on mlb network?

[rschusta24]

Canseco is an interesting character, haha. Very entertaining.

[TheNamelessPoet]

I did. he is very pompus

[StreetMedic]

Fair enough, but as much as he's ripped for running his mouth on the steroid issue, he has, time and again, been ultimately proven to be telling the truth on a lot of what he has said.

Yes and no. I dont know if u saw the comentary after the intervies, or the interview itself, but they made a good point (I think it was Mitch Williams), yes we need to look into what he is saying, but take it with a grain of salt.
He may be spilling the beans on a lot of players but he is also giving a lot of double talk. In his book he states he injected Mack "more times than he can remember" but when Mack was interviewed he said Jose never injected him and if he did it was MAYBE one time, not all the time like Jose said
Then in this interview Jose tried to take it back and say he injected lots of people and thats what he meant.

Believe him, but not word for word.

Jose Canseco has been right a lot more than he's been wrong on this issue. Yeah, he is self-serving, but that doesn't change the facts.....he's been vindicated. He was right, those that laughed at him were wrong. Doesn't make every single detail correct.....but his main message....pretty spot on I'd say.

I nominate Jose Canseco for the HOF because he helped clean up the game and had one of the all-time greatest careers.

Also, he's famous, and you know, it's the Hall of Fame!

Why stop there? Canseco for commissioner!

that, and he has changed his timeline countless times.

McGwire did roids in 88....then he said, I don't remember if he did roids in 88....then he said, I don't think McGwire was doing roids in 88, and finally....remember injecting McGwire in a clubhouse bathroom stall in 88.


how about some consistency!

I love how he said we should put McGwire on a polygraph to see if he is telling the truth about me injecting him!

haha, Canseco, nobody gives a **** about you. That interview made it appear he is doing this solely as a self serving, attempt to make he and everybody else look bad.

It was awful!

I agree more with this statement.

That interview really annoyed me though.

[reflections]

Canseco is just trying to keep himself relevant.
He probably wants a tv movie about his life (that way his brother could get some cash)

[200tang]

Where has BINGLE been lately? I'm sure he'd have something witty to say. Last I remember he was making a new forum and then he disappeared.

Slightly off-topic, but speaking of self-serving a$$holes, how did I know this was coming? A true attention whore if ever there was one.
