Clemens Pondering Writing Book About McNamee Feud

Roger Clemens goes to great lengths when trying to clear his own name. He'll ruin friendships, sell out family members or allegedly lie under oath. The only thing that seemingly matters to him is that his major league career remains untarnished -- which, honestly, isn't even possible anymore -- regardless of the consequences.

Thus, it should come as no surprise that Rocket is thinking about writing a book. The book would simply be his side of the story regarding the entire back-and-forth spat between him and his former trainer, Brian McNamee.

Good lord, Roger, how is there enough for a book here?

We've pretty much heard this side of the story through all the press conferences, testimony and appearances on talk radio anyway. Obviously, he's saying there's more to the story than that, but is it really possible there are enough new revelations to fill an entire book? If there are, he's obviously taken part in quite a bit of nefarious activity. Think about it: If someone accused me of using HGH, for example, I'd just say I didn't do it. I couldn't write a book containing my side of the story, because saying "I didn't do it," covers everything. If there are circumstances and details that need explaining, there's probably a degree of secrecy involved, thus, one or both of the parties involved knew something they were doing was wrong.

The bottom line is that McNamee only revealed what he knew about Clemens when he was threatened with federal punishment. His career -- and likely his life -- has been ruined in the aftermath of all this. He hasn't gained anything, so he really had no reason to lie. The defamation suit filed by Clemens against McNamee has been virtually dismissed by the courts (all major parts have been dismissed, but not the case entirely). Clemens had an affair with Mindy McCready. Clemens' wife was injected with HGH by McNamee (Clemens says he wasn't in town when this happened). Clemens once claimed he thought a broken piece of bat was a baseball -- which still doesn't explain why he was throwing it in the direction of Mike Piazza instead of first base. Noticing a trend? Rocket just does not seem like a, um, nice person.

Oh, and he also offers this nugget:

"I've been tested many times during my career," he said. "I've passed every test I've taken for MLB, and I was tested for the World Games and passed those also."

Wow, what a revelation. McNamee alleged Rocket took HGH, and HGH is undetectable via drug testing. Thus, that statement means absolutely nothing.

Apparently the bottom line in all this mess is that Rocket isn't going away, even if we want him to.

I'm sure the general public will be waiting with bated breath for the release of this monumental book. All 15 pages of it.
