Jose Canseco shoots himself in hand

[Spirit]

Thank God it wasn't a banjo. 

[Stradling]

Thank God it wasn't a banjo.

Yep, this is good

[Vegas Halo Fan]

I guess that this delays his comeback for a while.

[Lou]

He actually started yapping about it while he played.   He started talking about HGH and its beneficial properties while still actively playing and argued that hormones being natural shouldn't be banned.  That led almost directly to his being blackballed.   So, while he may have become a whistle blower AFTER he got shafted, he is the person who brought HGH to the forefront while an active player.

 

yep, and all those other players blasted him and called him a liar even after they were done playing.

 

that's why guys like Clemens and McGwire aren't in the HOF

[disarcina]

well, I am sure it's Arte and the Angels fault !!

 

Canseco spent about ten days (maybe less than that) one Spring Training with us as a non-roster invitee.

 

Complained he was hurt and asked to be kept out of line up for a couple of days straight -- this guys is a non-roster invitee right?

 

so Sosh finally gets tired of trying to pencil his name into the line up only to have him asked to be scratched, he 'dis-invites' the non-roster invitee.

 

ever since, Canseco has whined to folks that the Angels treated him unfairly and spread 'rumors' that Canseco was hurt and not able to play.........

 

well, yeah, when you ask four or five days in a row NOT to be put in the line up -- DUH.

[dimitrig]

I guess his new nickname is Frodo.

to be honest, having your finger fall off while playing poker is one of the most baller things i've ever heard of. you've got to give it to the man in this case.

Dead pot

There are about 3 places that could have happened, the Stratosphere where they are hosting the HPT, the Planet Hollywood where they are hosting the World Series of Poker Circuit event, and the Excalibur, where nothing was happening, but Jose has been known to show up because the poker ability there is bad enough for him to have a shot at actually cashing.

 

PS - I love how his GF lists herself as a "Pro Poker Player". I know pretty much every "pro poker player" in the world at this point, and certainly almost every "pro poker player" in Las Vegas. I've never heard of her. Admittedly she's rather attractive, so I should have at least a couple of pics of her from a tournament (hot women playing poker bring hits to my site), and I don't have a single one.  Yet another example of someone claiming a profession that is really just a hobby or, more to the point, a way to pass the time.  Just because someone plays in a poker tournament does not make them a "professional Poker Player" by a long shot.  It's like saying that because you bowled in a tournament one time that now you're a pro bowler. Just sayin'.

Ronnie Lott is proud of him.

Unfortunately Conseco believed the president about Obamacare when he was told that if he liked his finger he could keep his finger.

Hard to prove you really liked your finger when you shot it.

It was a trial separation. Now they are permanently divorced.

I'm curious about how it was reattached. Was it super glue? Staples? Double sided tape?

Here's his succession of tweets about it. I'm sure someone will pop in at some point and state what tourney it was.

Warning: poor poker puns/jokes inside

He had a really good surgeon.

Well, according to his twitter tags he was in Vegas, so I could have been just about any tourney at any casino.

 

I'm just curious if he won the pot that included his finger, or whether some other player has his finger as a souvenir for winning the pot.

 

Maybe it's a card protector now.

[Blarg]

I doubt anyone said I see your index finger and raise you a thumb.

Yes it does, ergo, I am a professional poker player!

I heard he didn't win the pot, weak hand.

Sometimes you've got to know when to hold 'em

Know when to fold 'em

Know when to walk away

Know when to keep your finger
