Jose still has his Swing - Congressional hearings.....

will start March 17th and all the usual suspects will be invited to testify under oath about drugs and MLB.
The little book that could. Still #1 on NY Times best seller list

From Jose to Giambi, McGuire, Sosa.
Not a good thing for MLB. I know John McCain is hacked that baseball still allows amphetimine use.
Looks like half the invitees are former A's.
For some reason they didn't invite Bonds to round 1.

former A's
Canseco, McGwire, Giambi.

Yikes. I hope this doesn't taint the image of the Oakland A's.

As an A's fan and a paying customer of major league baseball, I demand that ballplayers play clean.

Canseco is no more guilty than the rest of them
  Likewise the A's have no business being implicated as being responsible for steroid abuse. Jose should receive amnesty as it would be highly hypocritical for Congress to single him out. I've appreciated Jeff Kent's comments that MLB and the MLBPA have not gone far enough to also test for human growth hormone and amhetamines. I guarantee that those who are inclined to cheat will continue to take advantage of this until MLB et al. gets it right.

I agree
btw...amnesty is ageneral pardon granted by a government, especially for political offenses. Canseco requested full immunity.

forgive the semantics
my apologies, you're correct. He was born in Cuba, freudian slip on my part.

Is it just me...
Or is it a terrifying day when we look to Jose Canseco and Jeff Kent for perspective and guidance?
