Well, of course he does. He's Jose Canseco, after all.
Unfortunately, Canseco, who turned 48 a week ago, wasn't invited to the festivities by either Matt Kemp or Robinson Cano. Surely only because he wasn't eligible to be invited, by virtue of his being out of the league for 11 years now. Still, I'd be in favor of making him a late addition to the event.
This is how you celebrate a walk-off win!
I couldn’t have asked for anything better on my birthday yesterday. I normally don’t celebrate birthdays. I usually just go to an A’s game. But since I live in Los Angeles now, I can’t do that. But with the A’s wearing those gorgeous Oakland Oaks throwbacks (which I want), I couldn’t be happier after that walk-off win.
The A’s are at .500 and are only 2.5 games out of the last Wild Card spot. I’m so excited!
But now that we’re at the All-Star Break, I am looking forward to tonight’s Home Run Derby. This is one thing that I feel that can get really boring and annoying (with Chris Berman’s “back-back-back-back”) but no matter what anyone says, home runs are always fun to watch.
So with that, here are my predictions for the derby.
