VIDEO: Canseco Beats Us Up, Then Talks Newark Bears, A’s, Cards

• October 13, 2011 • 26 Comments

NEWARK, NJ – We had the pleasure of meeting up with Mr. Canseco at Bears & Eagles Riverfront Stadium, down in Cory Booker’s Newark. It was indeed a great day, even if our star wasn’t himself.

Minor League baseball is the perfect escape from the unrequited enthusiasm and bludgeoning costs that most MLB clubs subject us fans to these days… And what with the economy and all… Newark is like a vacation spot – or a romantic weekend getaway. For baseball lovers, that is. And the Newark Bears can be your secret lover(s)…

The coolest thing about Minor League ball, however, is that you get to meet great players that may be rehabbing, coaching or just stopping by. That’s how we met our new buddy, Mr. Turnpike. The video is pretty good, despite our involvement, only because of Mr. Canseco – a good guy.

Oh, and for those of you thinking  that this is mailing it in, that’s just bunk tile. Try shooting and editing one of these things.

Please…  COMMENT below, TELL some people about MTM and TUNE in for Different Matt, tomorrow.

P.s… How about that NBA situation?! Tweet Cory Booker about it. @CoryBooker

      John, John… You come back after disappearing and throw us right under the bus! You know what, we’ll take it. Video was up at 8:38 AM… YouTube has taken 1 step forward and 2 steps back.

    Well.. I will be back by 9:15a.. and if it’s not up… I’m going to stage a protest.

    • ToughGuy

      Will you know what the protest is about if reporters stick a mic in your face? Video is good. 3 1/2 apples from Neil Rosen.

    Ah… Nice job, lads. A case of mistaken identity. I sometimes wonder about Johnathan Wicklow Barberie in the same fashion!

    I can’t believe you didn’t ask Ozzie to do his patented back flip as he headed out to short.

      I thought they’d have video of him biting the head off of a bat.

      Cookie, we’ll do what it takes to bring the goods to the people! And the chompers are the only thing still in tact on Short Concussion Matt.

    I tune in for a gratuitous pic of Mt. Levine’s twin peaks, and some witty sports banter, and all I get is a broken link? WTF???

    I’ll take it from here! Thanks MiniMatt!

    Jose con Steroids was, is, and always will be a Bum! He owes his whole existence to Steroids!!! Without the juice Jose either:

    A). Works at Costco handing out little bits of food to old ladies and people with waaay too many kids!

    Or

    B). Works as the guy on the waterpark slide who makes sure you’re seated before going down

    Or

    C). Works at Home Depot (but not really, he just wanders around telling customers it’s not his department in between coffee breaks!)

    He would NEVER have passed Go, He would NEVER have collected Two Hundred Dollars and he would NEVER have been allowed in Cheers Bar cuz NO ONE WOULD KNOW HIS EFFIN’ NAME!!!

    L. O. S. E. R. !

    Great camera work. Well done.

    I see what you’re doing here…just laying the groundwork so you can get the real interview with Jose later on. Crafty.

    I hope that this is the beginning of a series of interviews with sports star siblings. On my personal wish list: Cooper Manning, Gerald Wilkins, and Zoltan Seles.

      If you had to choose between Jim and Henry Bibby, whom would you prefer?

      • Anonymous

        It’s gotta be Henry, as I consider Jim the more successful of the two.

    Nice interview, but more importantly, is Corey Booker really following us on Twitter

      Cheesy, I’m sure that was a typo and that were actually being followed on Twitter by Bookman from Good Times.

    What’s the deal with shilling for Gatorade?  I mean if you’re getting paid for it I know some writers (not me, the ones who stuck with you this long) who’d like a taste.  Just enough to wet their beaks.
