Some thoughts in the wake of Canseco being a douchebag

Recently Jose Canseco called out my boy Manram. He suggested that the reason he didn't get a long term contract was because teams knew that he was on the list of players who had failed a drug test in 2002. That dude really needs to shut up. So what if Manbone was on the juice, who cares? Steroids in baseball are like fake titties in porn and Canseco is your girlfriend who keeps pointing out that every porn star's boobs are fake. Watching baseball without steroids is like watching a Michael Bay movie without CGI or a Phish concert sober. Steroids make everything about watching baseball better. And people need to realize that everyone took them....and then get over it. In fact steroids saved baseball. Following the strike in 1994 baseball's popularity was at seeeerious low. In 1998 two dudes juiced out of their domes saved baseball. The home run race in 1998 between Sammy Sosa and Mark McGuire recaptured the magic that baseball had lost. Baseball was reborn. The World Series' with the highest television ratings in the last 2 decades were all during the heart of the steroid era in 1995, 1996 and 1999. In 2008 it had a rating of 8.4 nearly 10 points down from the mid 90s. Ignorance is bliss so come come on mlb ballers, keep juicing. And Canseco, shut up please. And for all you baseball purists, I suggest you go watch little league.

  1. right on about fake titties in porn. wrong about steroids in baseball. steroids suck. theyre bad for you. theyre bad for kids. and the competition between two or three dudes toe to toe in a HR competition when they launch 45 is as exciting as one in which they hit 60. also, i think your logic is a lil flawed about ws ratings. the most people to ever watch a WS was during 1978. guess who was playing. LaD vs. NYY. the yankees played in two of the WS you cite. steroids or yankees?
