Jose Canseco blasts MLB, tries to make comeback

When will the day end involving the on-going steroids conflict? I don't think ball players will completely stop using the drugs unless studies show an sharp increase in deaths from steroid users. For a while now, former Oakland Athletic, ex-Ranger, ex-Devil Ray, ex-White Sox, (who really knows or cares how many teams he's played for in his career) Jose Canseco has spouted off about MLB and how they are trying to cover up all these cases about players using illegal performance-enhancing drugs. He claims MLB is destroying players' careers, blackballing them as if they were so kind of criminal.

Well, well, I hate to tell Canseco, but all these players in recent years and in the past have hurt themselves. They are responsible for committing career suicide. It's not like they were forced into taking substances they were unfamiliar with or tied up and drugged. I realize Jose is mad because of what happened with the latter part of his career(which was mainly his own fault), consequently trying to avenge other Major League star players isn't the answer. He claims he wants to be the one to end this steroids debacle since he started it. What is he thinking, that all athletes are going to stop cheating or doing drugs because he's taking a stand?

Now at the age of 42, Canseco is attempting a comeback, playing for a fairly unknown minor league team in San Diego. For some idiotic reason the bulky Cuban is pitching as a reliever. Pictures from the minor league baseball practice site show him working on a knuckleball. What the hell! Old Cans better learn how to hit a freaking breaking ball again or off-speed junk. Otherwise he may get stuck in the minors. Apparently, Jose has got some slick business up his sleeve because he says he's in the process of producing a film and writing another book, claiming that this will stir up some fuss and create waves in baseball.

It's going to be a tough road back for Canseco into the Bigs if he continues to get heckled by unruly fans and gets injuried playing the outfield by either breaking a shin or getting banged on top of head while trying to catch a fly ball (hey, it happened years ago when he was younger). Oh, by the way, Jose watch out for those flying syringes onto the field!
