  • Canseco To Play Again In Texas Starting This Week

    Jose Canseco has been out of the game for a while, but he’s anxious to get back in (as anyone who’s been following his Twitter feed will know). As of Thursday, he’ll get his wish.

    The former Bash Brother will begin his stint with the Fort Worth Cats as a player and a coach. The first game, coincidentally, will be against Edinburg, which is managed by his brother Ozzie.

    “I am excited to come to Fort Worth and mentor the young ballplayers,” Canseco said in a statement. “I love Dallas/Fort Worth and I can’t wait to go up against Ozzie.”

    Canseco fell out of the spotlight a bit after a much-publicized bout with steroids and has been using his time out of the Major Leagues to pursue other interests–like writing for Vice Magazine–and to gain a following on Twitter, where he posts gems about his life and future goals.

    It’s unclear if Canseco will continue on his new path in Fort Worth after this season, but fans are sure to fill the seats once word gets out that the former Oakland A’s hitter will be on the field again.

  • Jose Canseco Compares Self To Dane Cook On Twitter

    Jose Canseco, former Bash Brother and accused steroid user, has gotten a lot of press recently due to the extreme amount of awesomely funny things he posts on Twitter, and for good reason. He’s hilarious. The problem is, he might not know he’s being funny.

    Canseco has, in the past week, tweeted some gems regarding his New Year’s resolutions, his firm resolve to launch an anti-aging drink, and his own comparisons between Dane Cook and himself. Have a look and follow Canseco on Twitter @JoseCanseco.

  • Jose Canseco Will Apparently Shoot Testosterone Live On New Membership Site

    There are some Twitter accounts that you follow because you genuinely value the tweets that come from them. Great Twitter accounts can provide up-to-the-second news and insider information, or they can give you a window inside the life of celebs and other high-profile newsmakers. Some Twitter accounts you follow because the person tweets tidbits that are relevant to your everyday life or line of work.

    And some Twitter accounts you follow because it would simply be a disservice to yourself not to follow them, even if you can’t put your finger on why. Former MLB star Jose Canseco’s Twitter account falls into this category.

    Canseco’s Twitter account (472,000 followers) has been on the radar for a little while now. Not only is he very active on the site, but his tweets oftentimes range from WTF to seriously, WTF. It’s both entertaining and bizarre, unfiltered and occasionally offensive. Last month it was briefly deactivated, but the perplexing string of tweets resumed very shortly thereafter.

    Now, Canseco’s latest Twitter activity is holding up to the high standards of odd set by previous activity. He has just used his account to notify his followers of a new membership website that will involve live streamed chats, inside baseball footage and, well, weekly injections.
