Rich Harden, Jessica Canseco AGAIN, Chris Webber, and Jonathan Roy's Rampage

'ROIDS, LIES, AND MAN-BOOBS
The MLB Steroid Saga




A-Roid??? It's certainly possible. Jose Canseco's newest book will focus on Alex Rodriguez's steroid ties, according to some random web freelance writer. Canseco was pretty accurate with his initial steroids assessment: McGwire, Palmeiro were both users, and Bret Boone probably was as well. Same with Pudge Rodriguez. So Canseco's established himself as someone who's at least somewhat credible...but is he right about A-Rod? I honestly can't say for sure. This could either be a cheap attempt to sell books or something really legitimate. If the allegations are false, then A-Rod needs to stand up for himself and take Canseco to court for slander or something of that nature. If A-Rod does nothing in terms of legal response, then the likelihood of Canseco's actually telling the truth definitely increases.

Among Canseco's allegations: he introduced A Rod to a 'roid dealer, and A Rod returned the favor by...trying to seduce Canseco's wife. YES, the same Jessica Canseco involved in Roger Clemens' botched joke about comparing her fake mammaries with his wife's that could land him in prison. Never could've predicted this. But if Canseco wants people to believe him, adding the A Rod the Womanizer tidbit may have worked to his favor. After all, we all know about the New York tabloids and its "expose" of A Rod's fling with some random hot woman in Toronto last summer. Yet again...this steroid saga has seemingly turned into some kind of bizarre soap opera, filled with romantic intrigue, sexual innuendo, breast implants, and people injecting themselves in the ass.


A-Rod = A-Roid? Now that's news. A-Rod cheating on his wife? Boooooring.

Meanwhile, the baseball season started today in Tokyo, with the Red Sox beating the A's 6-5 in 10 innings. Tomorrow...Rich Harden, yes THAT Rich Harden starts for Oakland against Jon Lester. Harden has had a sterling Spring, and call me naive or whatever but it's about damn time to CALL IT...FRIENDO. Rich Harden will have a monster season. BOOK IT. He'll start 25-30 games and become an elite starting pitcher again. 4 straight years of shoulder woes? Come on now, he's due. Rich Harden is finally healthy, and will be dominant again.



Chris Webber, known most for his timeout fuckup, will retire from the NBA.

In the NBA. Chris Webber is going to retire. Well, he had a decent NBA career. A few good seasons with Sacramento. But he didn't do much in retrospect, and unfortunately, he'll be best known for calling timeout when his team didn't have one in the NCAA title game for Michigan, a gaffe known widely as one of the most embarrassing blunders in sports history. Ouch.

ANGER MANAGEMENT

Finally, Patrick Roy's son goes on a RAMPAGE in a junior hockey league game. Holy shit. Dude. Take some chamomile tea or something. WOW. I don't know what got into him but this kid just went psycho. Maybe it's time to stop listening to those Marilyn Manson CDs...
