Report: Canseco To Appear On FOX's 'Moment Of Truth'

Former big league slugger and chronic attention whore Jose Canseco will be appearing on the FOX reality show/game show/exhibit of the degradation of society, "The Moment Of Truth." Canseco, the pariah whose autobiography catalyzed the Mitchell Report, congressional hearings and a new PED policing effort in baseball, will appear in an episode to air either in late September or early October, according to a report from David Vassegh on am570radio.com. I guess it's too late in the programming schedule to bring back The Swan Jose could really benefit from some weekly therapy and life coaching. More »

Roger Clemens And Brian McNamee's E-mail Bromance Is Something Special

The Smoking Gun has published the October 2006 email conversations between Roger Clemens and his trainer, Brian McNamee, on the heels of the erroneous Jason Grimsley affidavit report by the LA Times.

So, Is There Really Any Chance The Red Sox Would Take A Chance On Bonds?

So, David Ortiz could be out for a while. Would the Red Sox dare ... could they ... oh heavens ... they have to consider it, don't they ... could they be considering Barry Bonds? The Red Sox, even though Bonds has called the city racist, seem to be keeping it in mind. More »

MLB.tv Ignores The Existence Of Barry Bonds And Sammy Sosa

Ken Griffey Jr. wasn't able to hit his 600th homer yesterday, depriving the Great American Ballpark fans from the opportunity to see the milestone. (And then see Griffey get traded.) The Reds now take off on an eight-game road trip, and you'd have to think Griffey's gonna hit at least one over those eight games. And that would make him the fourth ever player to hit 600 homers. Wait ... fourth? Well, according to MLB, yep. More »

Perhaps One Of These Men Could Fight Jose Canseco

I'm having a tough time figuring out whether these photos of terrifying looking bodybuilders are actual real-live human beings or the product of some sort of anti-steroid ad campaign. If these men were racehorses, they'd probably snap their ankles on the way to the urinal and have to be euthanized. More »

Bonds Perjury Charges Breed, Multiply, Threaten To Overrun Small Town

One reason that no team wants to take a chance on signing Barry Bonds: The perjury counts from his BALCO grand jury testimony seem to be splitting like amoebas. On Monday he had four counts of perjury, and on Tuesday it suddenly became 14. As any biology teacher will tell you, that's reproduction by binary fission ... who knows where it will end? By June there could be millions of counts, and perhaps a new mammal species. More »

Barry Bonds Hollas Bat


Since Roger Clemens has taken center stage as the poster doughboy for steroid use in baseball, Barry Bonds has quietly faded into the background. There will be an update on his perjury charges here, a question about why no MLB team is courting him there, but, for the most part, all of the shrieking Bonds ire has dissipated. More »

Jose Canseco's Lawyer Finally Released Into The Wild

You may remember, from Pat Jordan's already famous story for us about trying to interview Jose Canseco, his lawyer "Rob," a "a Cherokee Indian from North Carolina" who, after four years working for Jose, had yet to be paid. Well, Canseco might have just done Rob — whose real name is Robert Saunooke — a big favor: He just fired him. More »

Pat Jordan, Canseco "Square Off" On Howard Stern

This morning, on The Howard Stern Show (a.k.a., the show you used to listen to all the time until either: a) he left for satellite radio, which you don't get; or b) he got divorced from his wife, draining the show of its subtle, mostly hidden pathos), Jose Canseco was a guest. And Pat Jordan, author of the gripping story about Chasing Jose for us, called in and chatted. More »

Usually, he throws it to the home team's starting catcher. Unfortunately for him, this year the home team starting catcher is all over the Mitchell Report. More »
