Canseco bitter toward A's

07:28 AM ET 06.25 | Barry Bonds might want to send Jose Canseco a thank-you note. The former A's right fielder, now a five-tool pariah, has indirectly polished Bonds' image recently. Both men believe they've been blackballed by Major League Baseball, but Bonds has let his agent and the players' association do the whining on his behalf. Canseco does the venting in his own voice. Canseco said he alone had been ruined by baseball's steroid scandal, that as the sport's consummate truth-teller and whistle-blower, he never received the forgiveness and attendant multimillion-dollar contracts that went to other drug users. He insisted that the A's had not invited him to Tuesday night's 20-year reunion of the 1989 World Series team, and he called former teammate Carney Lansford "an ignorant SOB" for saying that Canseco had destroyed people's lives and that the rest of the '89 players might have boycotted the pre-game ceremony if the "Juiced" author turned up.

Carney Lansford is an SOB and he likely has boon on the juice for most of his underachieving career I will wager that 25% of the A's championship team was juiced -----

No, Carney ... people ruined their own lives by juicing. Yes, Jose is scum but if those players were not trying to get an "unfair" advantage, they would not be in this position.

Youre totally correct. The cheaters chose to cheat so any damage thats been done to their reputations is their own fault.

only 25%? I'm willing to bet a higher amount....canseco, giambi, mcgwire, tejada....all have ties to the A's. I'm sure I'm leaving off a few but all these guys were high profile. Plus, their just down the road from Balco.

WHO CARES. Everybody was doing it. Management knew about it and encouraged it. The League knew about and smiled while they counted the cash. MOVE ON for crying out loud.

this is kind of like that Chris Rock joke about guys expecting a reward or a "cookie" for doing the right thing or in the context of his joke about semi-deadbeat fathers saying "I take care of my kids and stay out of jail." Laaa-di-Freakin' da.
Canseco had plenty of chances to get paid, and he did get paid. He just blew all of his money on smashing up his $100k Italian sports cars chasing his now ex-wife around town. He's a mess.

Keep doing reality TV where you get your ass handed to you. MMA shows you have no business being in. Can't wait to see what this dooshbag does for money next.

i think canseco is a joker, but as a baseball fan I like having around...he's the only one who seems to know what is really going on with the steroid problem.

Seems like he is the only one trying to tell it like it is anyway. The League is hoping to keep all of the names secret for as long as possible. They knew what was going on, and they gave it their blessing with inaction.

Being poor must make Jose bitter. That is the only reason why he is upset. If someone (anyone - me/you/etc) handed him a large sum of money for no reason, he'd leave. He could care less about forgiveness/reputation/etc. You only want that dollar.

To be fair, they should have invited him to the reunion of the 1989 World Series team. Then, to be even fairer, they should have invited the earthquake as well.
