'ROID SAGE: Jose Canseco's Juiced will debut this weekend atop the The New York Times hardcover nonfiction best-seller list, bumping Malcom Gladwell's Blink from the top spot. In many ways, Gladwell's book, which speaks to the power if first impressions, validates Canseco's book's success, because I can't, for one, imagine how any one who thinks about what they are doring for a moment would still end up with Canseco's book in their Amazon shopping cart.
Meanwhile, if you really need to read a baseball book, you should consider picking up a copy of Will Wagner's Wrigley Blues. Will, a friend and former boss, chronicles the Cubs' 2004 season, which began with so much promise and ended with the team tanking, numerous injuries, infighting between the players and broadcasters, and a host of other "only in Cubdom"-type events.
