Jose Canseco

[Edgy MD]

Poor foolish dude just shot a piece of his hand off.

When I see "Jose Canseco shot" the word I'm expecting next is "up". And there's the word "steroids" somewhere in the story.
What a doofus.

Anyone who cleans a loaded gun (on purpose or accidentally)
deserves what they get. He's lucky he shot himself and not
some poor bystander.

I guess laws are different in the desert. If he did that in my
town I'm sure he'd be charged with something.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Imagine if he shot his girlfriend and said that it was an
accident and that he was cleaning his gun. It's dumb to
speculate, but I'd think he'd have a hard time convincing
J. Q. Public at this point.

Boy, there's genius, and then there's Super Genius.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I'll leave it at that, might not want to
know what you mean...

Another good guy with a gun.

[Centerfield]

We all laughed when that ball bounced off his head and over the wall.

I fear that ball may have done more damage then we knew at the time. I'm starting to feel for the poor guy.

He's always been a really sad case, I think. That article by Pat Jordan a few years back really summed up what a pitiable figure he'd become.

" Jose has evolved. But it hasn't been a positive evolution. He's still as opportunistic and self-absorbed as ever. Only now, he's even more desperate."

Jose's manhood is TMI

That Jordan article flashed through my head also. Jordan's joke about Jose being unable to "field" offers was obvious, cheap, and tired. But he does a great job exposing the sad false front of a pseudo-celebrity, trying to generate offers by bullshitting about offers he's fielding, and then tragically falling into the slow self-destruction of believing his own bullshit.

I got a kick out of this:

[Guest d'Kong76]

Jose to sell finger (and firearm that removed it) on
eBay sometime soon! Can't make this shit up!

Apparently the re-attached digit fell off while he was playing cards - giving a literal interpretation to one player flipping another the bird.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

He had a bad hand.
