Jose Canseco's tell-all

Maggie says:
What's the most surprising - that Jose Canseco of all people just wrote a bestseller, or that he's sounding really credible as he names players on steroids?

Hard to put my finger on a single reason, but I believe him. I mean, what does he have to lose? And while he stands to make a lot of money from this book, the fact that he actually believes steroids aren't that bad - and therefore those who take them shouldn't be punished - makes me think he has no reason to lie.

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out as spring training begins. Imagine if a book by the biggest meathead to ever play professional sports was what inspired the league to finally crack down on steroids for real, and not just for press releases?
