Well the baseball world has yet again another dent in its door.

Jose Canseco is back with another steroids "tell all". This time he's implicating Magglio Ordonez and A-Rod.

Everyone's initial reaction is to write him off. "Canseco is a quack. He's money grubbing, fame grubbing, selling out former players."

Remember how appalled everyone was, when in his first book "JUICED" he implicated Rafael Palmeiro? After huge denials, finger wagging at congress and more denials, Palmeiro, actually was suspended for testing positive for steroids.

The one thing in the back of my head, is that, this is a lawsuit happy culture. How have no players come forth to sue him for defamation of character? This means they'd have to swear under oath, that they have never ever taken steroids. No one in JUICED came forward, why? AROD said, regarding Canseco's new book, "he has no answers" why didn't he say "Lies. I'll sue him". These are players legacies at stake, and I'm surprised no one has come forth to prove Canseco otherwise.

So Canseco's new book "VINDICATED" comes out on Tuesday, all lies? Is he a hack? Bored? Sour?

Maybe, but if he's lying, I hope someone calls him out on that, or else, in our minds, there could possibly be a kernel of truth to his rantings.

Dear Mr Rodriguez,

May I call you Alex? A-Rod?

Anyway, I know your Yankees season has just ended. You now have 10 days to decide whether you may like to opt out of your contract with the New York Yankees. Word is you're looking for a team that you can end your career with. If you decide not to stay with the Yanks, may I just take a moment to persuade you to consider the city of freedom, the city that loves you back, the city of brotherly love, the town that rocked the nation, Philadelphia, PA?

AROD, you'd be joing a list of outstanding Philly athletes that include, DR J, Bernie Parent, Ron Jaworski and Michael Jack Schmidt and such inspiring stories such as Vince Papale, Rocky Balboa (okay that one is fiction, but still) and the 1993 Phillies (with mullets and everything)

Also, you'll be joining a pedigree of great Philadelphia folks such as Will Smith, John Coltrane, The Four Tops, M Nnight Shymalan, Mummers, And Benjamin Franklin.

Your new best friends A Rod.

And AROD? After the games, after you change out of your Phillies gear, for a post win snack I can point you in the direction of Pats or Genos for a cheesesteak (when you order, just say "with provolone" or "with Whiz" they'll know exactly what your talking about)...

...or perhaps a soft pretzel from our fine street vendors. If you'd like a slice of pizza, I highy recommend Lorenzo & Sons. You can get a huge slice for 2$, which is good if you're watching your money that week, AROD. However you'll be getting paid a gazillion dollars, so that'll buy you quite a few slices from Lorenzo's.

So think about it Alex,a picturesque skyline, 2$ slices, Mummers, a Gazillion dollars, and you could hit 80 home runs out of Citizens Bank Ball Park.

If you need help moving to town, just let us know.

See you in the spring,

Your Friends at Philadelphonic.
