Is it just me or is Jose Canseco the biggest bitch in baseball (er, out of baseball, since he burned every single bridge)

Here's a guy who was on pace to be a first ballot Hall Of Famer and then he stopped trying/started sucking and became a laughing stock...so, he goes nuts with allegations of being blackballed and then goes on this crusade making wild accusations (first, he claims 80% of baseball is on steroids, then he retracts, then makes other allegations which may or may not be true), he can't get his book published for years, then suddenly adds more about steroids and a publisher picks it up and he names names of people he is jealous of, who have achieved and are achieving what he will never achieve and he acts like a little bitch about it....

when a person gets backed into a corner, they tend to lash out. often rationality and logic go out the window. i would have had a lot of respect for him if he would have just said "ok, you caught me... i was wrong and i am sorry". what he has been doing is pretty childish considering that it will not improve his situation or help him... it can only hurt others.

i don't doubt that a lot of baseball players are on some illegal drug at one point or another. even the pro-hormones (adros) that McGuire made famous were made illegal a few weeks ago. the single distinguishing difference is that they did not get caught.
