Jose Canseco, who admittedly has been right about a lot, is now reaching to the bottom of the barrel for some of his stuff. I admit being entertained when he called out Palmeiro and McGwire, and even condemned himself in the whole steroid thing, but it’s going off the deep end. In his most recent book and last-ditch efforts to make anything resembling money and a writing career, Jose makes his claim that A-Rod’s taking steroids and, better yet, pursued his wife.

Canseco claimed he didn’t inject Rodriguez but “introduced Alex to a known supplier of steroids.” Lavin also says “Canseco claims that A-Rod was trying to sleep with Canseco’s wife.”

“I really, absolutely, have no reaction,” Rodriguez said Tuesday when asked about the claim relating to the steroids distributor. As far as the allegation regarding Canseco’s wife, Rodriguez responded: “I don’t know how to answer that.”

The claims are a little — how do you say? — off the wall, but at the same time, there may be something concrete here. Jose Canseco has a dead career that was never really alive, is bulked up to the point it’s disgusting, and is far past hte distgusting point of being tan. All things considered, wouldn’t you sleep with A-Rod if you were Jose’s wife?

(Not to mention that he beats her.)
