Bars & Stripes Heady stuff. I thought I was reading an excerpt from Anna Karenina until he broke character with that last paragraph:
"So A-Rod, if you're reading this book, and if I'm not getting through to you, let's get clear on one thing: I hate your fucking guts."

Filed under: New York, Yankees, AL East, The Word, PEDsEarlier today, a review of Jose Canseco's new book, Vindicated, appeared on the internet, and within a matter of hours Deadspin posted scanned images of the actual pages in which Canseco alleges to have introduced Alex Rodriguez to a steroid dealer and admits to holding a grudge against A-Rod for apparently showing a bit too much interest in his Canseco's former wife.

... , Alex Rodriguez once asked him point blank (page 192): "The 'roids: do they f--k you up?" Canseco simply replied, "Do I look like I'm f--ked up?" My guess is that he was a) fully clothed when he said this; b) only talking about from the waist up; or c) all of the above. Jessica Canseco, Jose's ex and the ...

Who You Can Thank For The Juicy Canseco News
Published 3/26/2008 by Brooks at SPORTSbyBROOKS
... Deadspin’s help? We think we both know the answer to that. Can you imagine Lavin trying to get his book review - before a link to Deadspin - to be taken seriously by a main media outlet? We’ve worked in plenty of those MSM cubicles, and can tell you there’s no way in hell Lavin’s revelations ever would’ve seen the light of day UNLESS he had physically taken the book to a newspaper/radio/TV’s place of business. And then, of course, Lavin would’ve been given little to no credit. After Deadspin linked Lavin , NEWSDAY soon picked up the story and ...

Who is Canseco’s Friend Max?
Published 3/26/2008 by JC at Sabernomics
From Vindicated, via Deadspin:
Right around this time, I ran into trainer that I knew from Canada, from my old days with the Toronto Blue Jays. I’ll call him Max, because I’m going to leave it to him if he wants to go public….The trainer was a fan of steroids, and he had connections with local steroids suppliers—we often traded information on where we got our stuff—and he knew almost as much about the subject as I did.
Blue Jays, trainer, steroids, and Max…. Could “Max” be ...
Do we really still care about Jose Canseco?

... he very well could have gotten the juice from Canseco’s supplier. But, there is no evidence.
Truth is, there is only Canseco’s need to make money and his ax to grind against A-Rod. Did you ever notice, by the way, that the only players Canseco seems to try to impugn are guys who are better than he was?
In this case, not only is Canseco jealous of A-Rod’s talent, he thinks A-Rod was hitting on his wife.
Courtesy of Deadspin, here are the excerpts from “Vindicated” if you are interested.

... A few people managed to get copies early, before the book officially goes on sale April 1st. At first it was some Boston columnist, by the name of Joe Lavin who posted about and started a cohort of responses and other posts on the subject. Deadspin later posted some excerpts from the book, confirming that Lavin had the book. You can head over to the site (just click the link) and read some of the excerpts for yourself. The main targets of this book seem to be Roger Clemens, Alex Rodriguez, and Magglio Ordonez. I’m not going to discuss the ...

Matt Ufford, from With Leather, remembers Jessica Canseco's Playboy photo shoot from September 2005, and writes, "I mean, she looked pretty good, but I thought she was a little too muscul-- OHHHHHHHHHHH. Right. Story checks out." I recently read that as part of his offseason regime, a trainer suggested to Rodriguez that he become a vegetarian. Rodriguez agreed that he would one day, just as soon as they invented corn cock. Deadspin posted a few pages of excerpts for your edification.

There's a ton of stuff I've been meaning to share, so let's get it all out of the way. Actually, the list itself isn't that big, I just have a lot of things to say about a couple of then. This Jose Canseco/A-Rod saga is amazing. Not for the fact that A-Rod used steroids, but just for the giant trainwreck it's become. If you haven't been following, Deadspin has the hilariously awful excerpt from his book dealing with A-Rod, ...
"Now maybe you don't see it that way, but if someone comes to me and says, 'Hey, Jose, do you know where one can buy farm-fresh eggs?' I figure that person is looking to buy farm-fresh eggs."
