Jose Canseco calls out Alex Rodriguez, still needs a clue

In case you forgot, onetime Red Sox slugger and all-around role model Jose Canseco is in Springfield, Mass., this week, with plans to fight in a celebrity boxing match (the undercard: Rodney King! No, really!).

MassLive.com compadre Kyle Belanger made his way over for the fight’s official weigh-in yesterday. And surprise, surprise, Canseco was willing to do an interview and smile for the camera—any camera!—on sight.

...To repeat: “Secondly, who I would love to fight the most if I could pick a baseball player? Alex Rodriguez, get your a—in the ring and I’ll beat you to a pulp. Definitely that lying little idiot. I’d like to get him in the ring.”

I’m all for clowning on A-Rod, but really, Jose? You call a guy out the day before his team gets a parade in front of millions of adoring fans? While you prepare to fight in front of a few hundred people? That’s just wild flailing, bro.

I think we’ve hit a sad new low in the Canseco legacy.

Unless his next bout is against Poppa Proppa.

Please. This is Canseco at the Met playing oboe in a Mozart symphony compared to his typical low.

Between Canseco and A-Rod, we'd have 2 guys who probably bench at least 400 but couldn't beat the average primate. With A-Rod slapping and Canseco showing the skill that couldn't beat Bonaduce, this would be pathetic.

I wrestled and had two older brothers who taught me to fight, but I'm also only 5'8'' and 150 pounds. I don't think A-Rod or Canseco would have much trouble kicking my ass. This is why I carry a gun, 2 knives, and a fold out picture of Tommy Lasorda with his hooker of the week.

You carry those things on the chance that Canseco or Rodriguez are gunning for you?

I'm pretty snarky. I just assume they're after me.

I'm a few inches taller than you and weigh about 30 pounds more, yet I have no doubt that those two could also kick my ass (and any other Primate here, to boot).

I'd think the Lasorda picture would be sufficient.

That's the nuclear option. I mean, I just want to maim a would-be attacker, not kill anyone.

No wonder you and snapper hit it off so well.

Not only did we hit it off well, but he sold me a time share at a survivalist compound. I'm still a bit unsure how the time share will work when Obama causes armageddeon, though. I mean, is it first come first serve? Do I have to guess when the armageddeon is coming and make a reservation? Is the swimming pool well maintained? Because I don't want to have to walk to the beach for a morning swim...

(I kid snapper, I kid. I won't let robinred break us apart.)

If Jose Canseco had played in Kansas City he never would be getting all this publicity.

Joke (n): 1. something said or done to provoke laughter or cause amusement;
2. something that is amusing or ridiculous, esp. because of being ludicrously inadequate or a sham
3. a matter that need not be taken very seriously
4. something that does not present the expected challenge

Alex Rodriguez, get your a-- in the ring and I’ll beat you to a pulp. Definitely that lying little idiot.


Yeah, that lying Alex Rodriguez denied his steroid use for a long time, until circumstances finally forced him to admit it.

The brave truth-teller Jose Canseco, on the other hand, denied his steroid use for a long time, until money finally forced him to admit it. Huge difference, there.

Wow.

Me Jose carry five guns. Won last one from former Red Sox legend John Henry Williams in boxing match. I go for his dad next unless Manny answers my phone calls.
