Wells claims he declined Canseco's juice suggestions back in 2001. "That stuff is not good for the game and it is not good for your body." And if anyone knows what's good for your body, it's David Wells. [NYDN; NBCBA] -

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 » -

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.

Chasing Jose, By Pat Jordan
Pat Jordan is the author of 13 books, including "A False Spring," hailed by Time as "one of the best and truest books about baseball, and about coming to maturity in America." A prolific freelance journalist for 40 years, Jordan was recently dubbed "a national treasure" by Booklist in a starred review of a collection of his finest work, "The Best Sports Writing of Pat Jordan," (Persea Books), which includes definitive profiles of O.J. Simpson, Roger Clemens and Sylvester Stallone, along with Jordan's most controversial stories, on Steve and Cyndi Garvey and Hall of Fame pitcher, Steve Carlton. "The Best Sports Writing of Pat Jordan" will be released on April 14. He writes today for Deadspin about his repeated attempts to interview Jose Canseco for the last three months.

So, Does Anybody REALLY Care About Jose Canseco And Alex Rodriguez?
So something interesting happened yesterday, in the wake of all those Canseco stories.

In the next week, you're going to see more of Jose Canseco that you likely have much desire to see. But Canseco has a new book coming out April 1, Vindicated: Big Names, Big Liars, and the Battle to Save Baseball, coming out just in time for opening day and promising to, once again, blow the lid off the steroid menace. Once again, he's naming names, and, according to a man named Joe Lavin, who bought a copy accidentally put on sale early at a Boston bookstore, those names are Roger Clemens, Magglio Ordonez and Alex Rodriguez.

Fever Pitch ... Throughout History
The Sporting News has a good piece about the evolution of pitching, which we read with interest until seeing the dreaded word "gyroball," which tends to provoke in us the same reaction as the word "disco." But until then there are some fun tidbits, such as the fact that until 1881, the distance from the mound to the plate was 45 feet. And for the first few decades, pitchers threw underhand (the Mets continue that tradition). Here are some other highlights: More » -

Google Video, Jose Canseco And You
We're not sure how we'd react if attacked by a leopard; probably curl up like an armadillo and roll toward the nearest large body of water. But we would hope that it would be a manly, dignified roll. We wouldn't want to go out squealing like a Girl Scout, as you can hear in this video. The reason we mention this is that we were playing around with Google Video this morning, trying to find something on Jose Canseco. The service has been out for awhile now, but be aware that there are still some bugs. We typed "Canseco" into the search field, and the first thing that came up was the video of a park ranger poking a leopard with a stick. Bad idea, by the way. More » -

No one was arrested, but Canseco and the woman were having a heated argument, and their hotel room was damaged. More »
