Thanks, Barry … I think

Speaking of having your image helped, does Mark McGwire really want to be praised by Barry Bonds?

"I have a really good friendship with Mark McGwire and I'm proud of him," Bonds told reporters recently.

According to the book Game of Shadows, it was Bonds’ envy of McGwire’s steroid-fueled performances — and the attendant accolades — that led the Giants star to begin injecting himself with everything from designer steroids to a 'roid created to improve the muscle quality of cattle.

McGwire, back in the game as hitting coach for the St. Louis Cardinals, called Bonds’ comment, “very cool.” I wouldn’t, but then I don’t live in Bonds and McGwire’s obviously irony-free world.
