Man, last year with Rickey, now Canseco may make the Dodgers. What is Carney Lansford up to these days?

The only way he makes this team is as a pinch hitter, theres no way he can play in the field. Though I don't see him making the team anyways.

Maybe he needs money for all his legal fees. But if he didn't make it with the Expos a couple years ago, what makes him think he'll make it with the Dodgers?

'Cause the Dodgers need pop, and he's got it. He knows it. Someone sure as hell knows it. I actually have to say it would be cool is Canseco came back and got his magic number, even with all the issues at hand. He did contribute alot to this game, and it would be kinda special to see him hit 500. I know I might be overstating it alot here, but dreams are dreams. I remember when me and my brother were just kids watching him, and my brother idolized the guy....gotta stick my neck out for him through it all, because of what he brought and how close he is to making history. Doesn't sound like history with so many guys poppin' it like it aint nothin', Palmeiro, Sosa last year, but it's still special to me.
