Where are the Haters? Jones Breaking Out.

[soccer10k]

Like I said earlier in the thread, the key is Jacque's contract, which everybody agrees isn't his fault but Hendry's. I think most people wouldn't care nearly as much if Jones wasn't having a good year if the Cubs had the option to bring him back next year. As it is, Jones will be here for 2 more years barring a trade. Obviously people wouldn't be happy if Jones sucked and had a one year deal but there wouldn't be as much talk about it. As I said before, I'm not saying that it would have been a good signing if Jones only had a one year deal, but it wouldn't have been nearly as bad as the three year deal he received.

I'll read the thread later, but the answer to the question is that the haters never admit they are wrong.

 

You should read the thread before you comment. It wasn't created to praise Jones, it was created to ridicule and embarrass other members of this forum. That's troll behavior. If I were a moderator this thread would prompt a strong warning.

 

apply that rule to the patterson, nomar, anti-bunt & anti-steal threads, and the mods will be extremely busy.

We all skim threads now and then, or misconstrue their meaning and intent. I don't agree with the methedology here, but I don't think its a big deal. This kind of stuff goes on all the time, particularly when we are losing.

I guess you can't dislike when a player is playing bad and celebrate when he is doing well?

 

To me that's what being a fan is all about. Jock was SUCKING. So fans booed. Now he's not, so they aren't.

 

The reality of major professional sports...

that's because the people that say jones sucks are not wrong.

Well, we look at things differently then. When I see a player doing good, and I'd like to see Jones get his numbers up a little bit more before I say he is, I won't be afraid to say he is doing a good job whether I like him or not.

That's fine. People here can make a positive thread about a player without trying to embarrass other posters and nobody would object.
