Juiced


Who ever thought Jose Canseco could write a book that was a #1 New York Times Bestseller? I would have thought there would have been a better chance of Barry Bonds becoming the Pope before that happened. Well i just saw a pig fly outside the window. Yes the day has came. Since the book has came out I've wanted to read it but Ive never got around to it until now for a AP assignment. Jose is a very interesting human being. I have got the privilege of meeting him before. It was a experience all right. On the cover of the book it says wild times, rampant roids, smash hits, and how baseball got big. If i had to describe Jose Canseco's state of being i would say he is a couple fries short of a happy meal. On the first page in condones the use for steroid's for athletes even young athletes. He just made it clear that they are serious thing and if you are not old enough to shave stay away from them. I know a kid in 7th grade that shaves! What kind of advice is that? I feel that this book is a big ego trip for him. His whole life is one big ego trip. He has a little girl he talks about and her name is Josie!!! Yes she is a girl but naming her Josie? I'm surprised he didn't just pull a George Forman and name her Jose! I'm glad he tried to make it a little settle at least. If you looked at the book and no idea who he was you could tell that he is a little into himself. My favorite quote in the book is "Steroids don't just make you stronger they make you sexier." yes he did say that try not to throw up in your mouth. I have a feeling that he didn't make a lot of friends with this book and probably lost some as well. Hey Jose you can kiss your bid into Canton goodbye. I have a feeling you wont be on the first ballot next Hall of Fame ballot. But thank you for the book I'm going to get one good paper out of it :)
