Canseco Calls Out McGwire

by Scooter on 01/13/2010 in MLB News

The King of Juicers is now calling Mark McGwire out. He (Jose Canseco) would like to challenge McGwire on national TV to a polygraph examination. Jose polygraphs are not accurate and aren’t used today in the court of law.

McGwire admitted Monday that he used steroids for a decade, including when he hit 70 homers in 1998, but denied Canseco’s claims that he injected himself and McGwire with steroids in bathroom stalls.

“I’ve defended Mark, I know a lot of good things about him,” Canseco told ESPN 1000 radio in Chicago on Tuesday. “I can’t believe he just called me a liar. Umm, there’s something very strange going on here.

Canseco is now calling manager (Tony La Russa) a liar because he didn’t know that McGwire used steroids.

“That’s a blatant lie,” Canseco said. “There are some things here that are so ridiculous, and so disrespectful for the public and the media to believe. I just can’t believe it. I’m in total shock. These guys remind me of politicians that go up and just lie to the public and expect to get elected.”

Canseco, who blew the whistle on many players in his 2005 book, “Juiced: Wild Times, Rampant ‘Roids, Smash Hits, and How Baseball Got Big,” is still trying to stay in the spotlight, but for all the wrong reasons.

Why would a steroids offender try to upset the baseball world? IMO he needs the money and the spotlight.

Sorry to say, but Jose walk away!
