Canseco Book Generating Juicy Sales by RONALD BLUM of Associated Press
NEW YORK - Jose Canseco's autobiography accusing several top players of steroid use and charging that baseball long ignored performance-enhancing drugs appeared to be a hit on its first day in bookstores.
Amazon.com listed "Juiced: Wild Times, Rampant 'Roids, Smash Hits, and How Baseball Got Big" as third on its best seller list Monday.
The book had an initial printing of 150,000 copies and Regan Books does not disclose sales figures, spokeswoman Jennifer Suitor said.
"I don't think it's a good thing, obviously, because it's bringing a bad light to the game," New York Yankees captain Derek Jeter said Monday. "This is a time, obviously, baseball is in a negative light and Jose is not helping out. In terms of his accusations, the only people that know are him and whoever he is accusing. The unfortunate thing is, if it's not true, you're looking at guys having to defend themselves over something they haven't done."
Mark McGwire, one of the former teammates Canseco accused of using steroids, issued a written denial.

Jose Canseco was one the heroes of the Oakland A's golden age when I was a high school kid.
With all-time slugger Mark McGwire and legendary collector of stolen bases Rickey Henderson, along with pitchers Dennis Eckersley and Dave Stewart, they kicked ass in the World Series of 1989. A shocking series not just because the A's swept it in four, nor not because the opponents were the neighboring San Francisco Giants, but a tremendous earthquake (I mentioned before in this diary) hit the SF bay area on the day game three was about to be played, postponing the series for 12 days.
We all have some knowledge of baseball players using some kind of drugs, but for the kids' dreams we really don't want to hear about nightmares. We all question ourselves WHY? when players fail tests in the Olympic games. We all want to win, but is that really winning using those drugs? For them, losing in the game is scarier than losing to temptations. But that's just a loser in life... Not the sports hero we all want to be. So if what Jose has confessed is true, there's a lot of losers out there. For the kids' sake let all this be just a bad dream.

About another book (the picture above) ... My collegue (female!) was reading this book about women wanting to date a "doggish" guy. Being the ideal dog type man seems to be what women need to live in peace. To tell the truth I can be that kinda man! I'd rather cure than to be cured. Well I think I get cured by curing... I'd listen if you want to talk, but I won't make you bored if you don't want to be in silence. Bravery and savagery, I thought were the requirements. Maybe not any more! We're always a fighter in public anyways. So, curing I shall do. Hurray, Doggies of the World!!
