I admit it, I enjoy taking a look at losers.

I'm not above making a blog entry poking fun at Stephon Marbury, J.D. Drew, Barry Bonds or Isaiah Thomas. Those guys are perennial losers in the world of sports and they don't do anything to endear themselves to the public.

But for this entry, I decided to go above and beyond making fun of Starbury, B*ndsy and the porcelain J.D. Drew. Right now, it's just too easy, too predictable and that isn't my style.

     LOSER                         LOSER                        LOSER                       BIG LOSER   

For this one, I picked a guy who has made a career out of being one giant dunderhead of a human being. He juiced up and cheated his way through baseball and thankfully, he's vanished out of the public eye. In fact, you probably haven't heard his name in over a year and you probably thought you never would.

That's what we get for thinking.

Jose Canseco, or better known as, The Rat, The Cheater or any variation that you find
suitable, is back to mashing home runs. The man that claims he was "blackballed" from the sport is making a mockery of it on the junior college diamond, playing the L.A. Men's Senior Baseball League. According to the story, he takes two pitches and crushes the third for a home run. Nice job, Jose. Maybe your team will win the whole darn thing and you will find a suitable replacement for the World Series ring you sold.

Are we supposed to be impressed by this? No, of course not. We are supposed to laugh, and laugh I did. I'm still giggling about The Rat coming 38 home runs short of 500. I'm still laughing about a ball bouncing off of his head and over the wall. But nothing makes me laugh harder than seeing The Rat have to find refuge in the Senior Baseball League to get his 500. Now all we need is for B*ndsy to defect to the Oak Lawn Park Softball League to get 714 and justice will be served.

I like the quote from his coach, Gary Zelman "It's like cheating." Good catch, coach. That's something Jose does very well.

The Rat may have done some good by bringing the steroid issue to
the forefront, but the way he did it; out of spite and for money,
means that his tenure in the new league is a proper uppance.
And what magnficent fall from grace. This is stuff you can only
hope to see on "True Hollywood Stories" or "Behind the Music."
 Luckily VH1 was smartest to give us something to laugh at
hysterically for 12 weeks

I hope the next time we read a story about Canseco, it'll be about how he's being blackballed from the Senior Baseball League, or that his action flick with Oliver Stone fails to outdo "Glitter" at the box office, or that his dog bit him in the same spot he injected the juice.

And don't worry, I'll still be laughing.
