Jose Canseco Is At Least Half-Aware of What He's Doing on Twitter
Semi-retired baseball star Jose Canseco is both unaware and too aware of his public persona when he's being crazy on Twitter, and the result is sometimes intentionally funny. What else can we conclude when when he wrote Wednesday afternoon, "Wait wait I am hearing voices they are sayingggggg can't quite make it out ,ooh yeah got it Slap A Hater."

That's a reference to people making "crazy" jokes about his infamous tweet spasms, right? And there's clearly some self-awareness, too, when he tweets, "Charlie sheen is the man." Or when he writes, "I am getting bored can anyone say something funny and original ." On the other hand, amid all the self-aware jokes, it looks like Canseco's suffering. Will there come a point when we collectively realize Jose Canseco is mentally disturbed and we feel bad about making fun of him?" @amaeryllis tweeted. (Multiple responses indicated no.) Gawker's Leah Beckmann calls today's messages "straight up worrisome."

The lastest episode -- there was a much more pleasant one in February in which Canseco asked for hugs -- seems prompted by BuzzFeed's report Tuesday about Canseco asking a female fan for a photo of her face after she direct messaged him. Canseco then responded, "Sorry I have a girlfriend I made a huge mistake." BuzzFeed's Jack Moore interpreted this as an insult to the fan's appearance, but it seems just as likely Canseco got busted by his girlfriend. After getting angry tweets, Canseco sent out a ton of tweets about haters. We can all get behind hating on haters, right? But Canseco shifts between funny and disturbing.
