A Fail of Two Cities: Jose Canseco stiffed at home, possibly abroad

Do not pass go, go directly to fail.
Former baseball slugger and steroid stool pigeon Jose Canseco speaks at a recent press conference regarding the drug suspension of fellow shamed ballplayer Manny Ramirez.
And as the picture indicates, there isn't much interest in what the former AL MVP has to say on the topic -- even if most of his past allegations have been proven to be correct.
The question now, is can we expect a similar turnout when the Cuban Godzilla descends on Japan for the DREAM 9 Super Hulk Tournament? It's hard to predict, since Japan does have a certain infatuation with colorful characters.
Canseco is set to do battle with the 7’ 2" gargantuan Hong Man Choi at the DREAM 9 event, which takes place in the Yokohama Arena in Yokohama, Japan, on May 26.
In addition to being knocked out by former Philadelphia Eagles return man Vai Sikahema in a celebrity boxing match last year, Canseco went the distance with putrid Partridge Danny Bonaduce earlier this year.
With that kind of resume, expect a gruesome ending in his squash match against Choi.
It could be the first cheers Canseco gets in more than a decade.

Canseco will happily take part in a freak show for cash. I think he’s already blown most of what he made in baseball. And it’s a shame he isn’t taken seriously, at least when it comes to outing roided up ballplayers. I read his first book, and everything there was proven true, and his second one called out A-Rod, and that one was on the money as well.

Sir Chokeshiscock is right. I hope Choi pounds this guy into obscurity.

he was the cab driver of the guy at the podium…he was asked to wait and keep the meter running as the press conference wasn’t going to be long

Seriouslt fuck Conseco! If you want to admit to juicing then so be it, but dont write a fucking book ( beacuase your broke ) and oust other people. Baseball is the one thing in this world I love more than mma, and I hate steroids in baseball. However there is a code amongst the guy you play the game with. If they dont want to come clean thats on them.

you make zero sense! If you like baseball as much as you say you do (like I do), then fuck the code! Everything canseco has said, has been true. He’s single handedly cleaned up the game!
