… yes, that’s right … wait for it … A-Rod. Not surprising. I could go either way on this one. He’s always been a big shortstop, but … (pictures below)

When Jose Canseco wrote “Juiced” in 2005, he brought the issue of steroids in Major League Baseball to the forefront. Now, Canseco has another book due this fall and he promises some juicy info on Alex Rodriguez.

Canseco told WEEI-Radio in Boston on Friday that he has “other stuff” on the Yankees slugger, who he called a “hypocrite” who “was not all he appeared to be.”
When asked if A-Rod had used steroids, Canseco told WEEI, “Wait and see.”

“Jose has information about A-Rod and the Yankees that will be in the book. But, I am not sure if Jose is willing to disclose it at this point,” Canseco’s lawyer, Robert O. Saunooke, told The New York Times.

In Baltimore for the Yankees’ game against the Orioles on Saturday night, Rodriguez told reporters that he hadn’t heard Canseco’s comments about him. “And I have no comment,” he told the newspaper.

Yankees manager Joe Torre said he was disappointed to hear about Canseco’s comments.
“You worry about anything like that, because unfortunately, when people see it in print, they add credence to it. That’s the sad part about it,” Torre said, according to the New York Daily News. “It’s a shame, because when you play this game, you’d like to believe you play with some kind of respect. Obviously, Jose needs the money.”

Canseco has shared names of more players who used steroids with investigators looking into the issue for Major League Baseball. George Mitchell, the former Senate majority leader, was appointed by commissioner Bud Selig in 2006 to head the league’s investigation into steroids in the sport.

Saunooke told The Times that Canseco planned to meet again with Mitchell and and his investigators in the next month.

Canseco attracted the attention of Congress with his autobiography, “Juiced,” in which the former slugger named several players, including himself, Rafael Palmeiro and Mark McGwire, who he said had used steroids.

As a baseball and steroids (just information about them) junkie, I’m interested in what he has to say. I do agree that he is likely talking out of his butt and taking advantage of whatever credibility he logged from his first book.

A guy I coached with let me borrow “Juiced” Canseco’s book in exchange for Game of Shadows (yeah, we coaches are into some heavy literature). He tells me regarding the book, “It’s a pretty easy read.” I don’t usually cuss, but I had to respond with “No S—?” Canseco’s book an “easy read”. Whodathunkit?

Edit: No comments about ARod carrying a purse in the 2nd pick? I thought that was hilarious.

i’d missed that.
that is pretty funny.

i actually turned my t.v. off during that play, when the ball was rolling down the 1st base line. i couldn’t believe it when i woke up and found out the sox had won.

How long until some creative genius turns “ARod” into “ARoid”. I’m pretty sure some silk-screening college student in Beantown is working on it as we speak (more likely 10 hours ago).

He couldn’t have been more right in his first book!

Miguel Tejada and Ivan Rodriguez seemed to have dodged that bullet. Tejada’s transformation is every bit as “impressive” as Sosa’s and Bond’s (only it didn;'t occur in their 30s and at the age of 35 for Bonds).

With the first book, I stated that if it has to do with Home Runs and/or Steroids, Canseco would be one to listen to (especially when speaking of first-hand experience). I’m skeptical of the 2nd book.

I just heard Cowherd say something interesting about Canseco’s 1st book, “A lot of people threatened to sue … no one did.”
