Apparently inspired by the runaway success of Jose Canseco's Juiced and the runaway existence of Selena Roberts' A-Rod, Roger Clemens is thinking about slapping his artisan hands against a typewriter and pounding out a book. He wants to write about his relationship with Brian McNamee, but as Matt Snyder asks, how on Earth can he fill a book with that story? Snyder estimates that the book, if written, will be 15 pages long. I'm guessing that it will stretch for a full 200 pages, but only if it's a flipbook depicting Clemens throwing a pie in McNamee's face.The next great American Dugout is after the jump.

Oh my . . . that bit about the Adidas hat is top-notch!
Not to mention that the agent's screen name is totally awesome in several dozens of ways.

I in no way took it as a joke that a person would ask Roger Clemens if he knew how to write.
Top notch.
