What stinks about this is I really like (Canseco). I still like him. I think he still has potential to do great, great things if he could just get the right people around him ... Every lawyer hates to sue their client. I didn't want to sue my client. He never complained about me, never said anything negative about me. Everyone who I've ever been in touch with who knows my relationship with him - they're all at a loss. They can't understand why Jose would have done this. 
He said, 'Ok, just keep a running tally.' So I did. I kept working for him, hoping with the promise there would be payments later. Of course the book deal comes out, the one that I negotiated for him. That deal comes together and I say, 'Can you pay me now?' And he fires me. That's when I said, 'Enough's enough.'
