Maybe Jose Canseco can pass the hat at his next barbecue

As Mons Meg points out below, Jose Canseco has lost his $2.5 million LA home.

Here is his tear-jerking saga, taken from the AP story:

"You know my life, this financial thing, is a very complicated issue. Obviously, when you make all that money, people think, 'OK, let's assume it is $35 million.' People have to understand that $35 million, you're paying the government 41 percent. That leaves you with about $17 or $18 million, not even. Then you're taking care of your whole family."

That boob job for his wife wasn't cheap, you know ...

(And, apparently, money was so tight he couldn't afford a calculator.)
