Passing 'Big Mac' no great feat to Bonds

DENVER - If Barry Bonds was excited about passing Mark McGwire on the career home run list, the San Francisco slugger sure didn't show it.

"I have no thoughts," Bonds said. "We lost. There is no satisfaction in losing."

Bonds hit his 584th homer to move into sole possession of fifth place, but Terry Shumpert's three-run shot lifted the Colorado Rockies over the Giants 6-3 Saturday.

Bonds connected off Colorado starter Denny Neagle in the fourth inning, driving the first pitch into the left-center seats for his 17th homer of the season. Bonds trails Frank Robinson by two homers for fourth place all-time.

"That was a bright spot," San Francisco manager Dusty Baker said. "A bright spot on a dark afternoon."

McClendon not concerned

Pirates manager Lloyd McClendon thinks the dugout dustup between reliever Brian Boehringer and shortstop Jack Wilson could make his team better.

"I've played on teams here that fought every other day," McClendon said Saturday, referring to the Barry Bonds era of the early 1990s. "A couple of guys had a disagreement, we talked about it, you move on and you get over it. That's it."

Boehringer, apparently upset that Wilson didn't make a play on Miguel Cairo's hard-hit ground single that led to St. Louis' first run Friday night, confronted Wilson later in the eighth inning. Boehringer screamed at Wilson before several players stepped in, and McClendon promptly escorted Boehringer to the clubhouse.
