With the latest diarrhea flow that is Jose Canseco dropping another book I feel that I must provide an opinion that not only includes the feelings of myself but also most of the sports fan population. I could care less who used/is using steroids. In fact it is fair to say I'm over you steroids. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Jose accused George W. Bush of juicing. Besides Jose calling anyone out for steroids is probably as effective and meaningful as O.J. Simpson starting an organization to find Jon Benet's killer. I'm not buying it, sorry Juice.
I'm not here to cry foul, just to cry cut the shit. I get it, athletes use steroids to maintain the exceptional skills that got them where they are. Why wouldn't they? They only have millions of dollars to lose. To rehab from injuries faster and to produce more, all for the sake of the game or money. Whatever their motivational factor for juicing, it doesn't matter. Like Sonny said "Do you think Mickey Mantle cares if you can't pay your rent?" Fuck no he didn't, nor should he.
It would be great to sit down and watch a baseball game without ESPon's bottom line treating Jose Canseco's words like he was the Pope. Last I checked dude wasn't really considered a stand up guy. I think he has been arrested for domestic violence thrice times? Sounds like a real catch. He could really smack a baseball though and that's what it was all about. The fact he beat three wives? No big deal, the accusation that he knows a bunch of guys who allegedly took steroids? National news, Congressional hearings and 500 page investigations. Chew on that.
It really isn't even about Jose, I'm pretty sure the guy in the office next to me takes steroids, he's a behemoth of a man but I bet he can't hit a baseball 450 feet. Better yet, I don't think he can touch his own shoulders. Which leads to the real question: do steroids cause back acne or does the fact those man beasts are so massive they can't wash their own backs the culprit?
Honestly, I really would want the answer to that last question than hear one more fucking thing about steroids.
At this point I'm assuming everyone is on steroids just to save myself from all the "Can you believe so and so was using?" Now I can respond "Yeah I knew that and so was Mother Teresa. How do think she preformed all those miracles?" In summation, I don't give a fuck about who is using what or where they do it. As long as syringes aren't falling out of Manny's pants when he non-hustles to a ball in left field and the Fenway Franks are still plump and juicy, baseball will be fine by me.
