\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After taking a short break from Twitter this week, I for some reason felt compelled to check it last night before bed.\u00a0 Instantly, I noticed that my feed was littered with tweets from none other than Jose Canseco<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 As we are all well aware, Jose is, well, he\u2019s Jose.\u00a0 He\u2019s that former high-profiled athlete turned celebrity, except the only person who believes he is a celebrity, is the delusional Jose himself.<\/p>\n

Having developed a knack for unprompted disclosures over the years, Jose\u2019s love affair with Twitter was inevitable.\u00a0 It\u2019s as if the service was created solely for his use\u2026and Chad Ochocinco\u2019s, of course.\u00a0 Anyway, Jose was at it again late last night, and I thought that I would take a few minutes this morning to dissect a few of his most personal thoughts:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I’m sorry, Jose, but how exactly will you show that steroids are overrated? By getting a contract? Do you have new evidence to present on Mark McGwire’s behalf? I can’t imagine that Mac wants you to vouch for him these days.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It’s interesting that Jose reached out to Sandy Alderson and the New York Mets considering that he would be forced to play in the outfield.\u00a0 What’s even more interesting, or insulting if you’re a Mets fan, is the fact that he chose not to first offer his services to the Pirates and Astros.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It’s obvious that Jose does not enjoy being poor.\u00a0 That’s why I have my suspicions that Jose and this “baseball assistance team” might share the same address.\u00a0 If he could have just provided a link to the organization, then all of this could have been immediately cleared up.\u00a0 Then again, Jose’s Twitter<\/a> profile does link to his personal site, josecanseco.com<\/a>, which as you will see, does not exist.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Quit being so melodramatic Jose, you can’t fool us into believing that you’re actually human.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> Based upon Jose’s grammar and use of punctuation, as well as the overall lack of reasoning displayed in his tweets, I can’t help but feel that the apology should be directed towards the editor of Juiced<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Jose actually hit in a batting cage last weekend, right after he rode the bumper cars and played 18 holes of mini-golf.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

His usual therapy consists of buying undersized shirts and leaving voice messages for people who will wisely never call him back.
