Jacque Jones: Can We Trade him for Corey Patterson?

[Neuby]

Watch the language folks.

 

What's this about??

 

It means watch your language. People have been using clever contractions and characters to represent words that are clearly stated in the NSBB Guidelines as inappropriate. Warnings, suspensions and bannings will follow if the behavior doesn't stop.

 

And now I'm curious as to what it was that I said that led you to direct this at me.

 

Well if there clever contractions and characters whats the the problem with that? If you can figure them out you must be old enough hear those words. This is Cubs baseball folks I don't care how educated or holy you might pride yourself on being sometimes emoticons aren't enough to express the highs and lows that come with rooting for this club for many years. I don't know maybe I clicked the wrong and I ended up on the Disney board again.

No, it's not the Disney Board, but if Tim and the moderators have set up a specific set of language guidelines then it is your duty as a registered member of the board to follow them (or else suffer the consequences).

 

I do wonder where the line is drawn, however. There are clearly words that are "rated R", words you wouldn't hear on broadcast TV and most wouldn't be comfortable having their kids read or hear. But there are some gray area words. I also think there is the difference between replacing one letter in a curse word with a * and using a string of ******. But I've been here long enough to respect the wishes of the mods and if they think the language is a problem then it's a problem.

The dirty wods I've been reading right now were

Jacque Jones

A. Ramirez

 

and the worst Corey.

 

The end is Nigh for this thread.

please refrain from using the N word :wink:

"Nitwit!"

[goonys evil twin]

So, how 'bout that Jacque Jones? He's really something, huh? :wink:

 

Yeah, he'd be a heck of a platoon player if he stopped sucking on the basepaths and in the field.

[frostwyrm]

just what the cubs needed... burnitz for $6 million and a .613 ops.

Get real, dude. I was a huge Burnie basher even before the Cubs signed him and even I wouldn't be so bold as to claim I knew he would be this bad in 2006.

Do you have kids? My 14 year old step son uses WTF all the time. Mainly because I explained to him that he is not allowed to use curse words under my roof without paying rent. He doesn't have a job, therefore WTF.

 

My 12 year old step son now knows what WTF is also. Because he asked what it meant.

 

If they want to learn it on the streets, that's one thing. Tim, 1908 and every mod here agrees that this is to be a family board. If a 10 year old fan wants to come to this site and read everything Cubs, the parent of that child shouldn't have to deny that child that opportunity because people can't use appropriate language or subject matter when they type.

 

It's really baffling why anyone would question the rules and guidelines on NSBB.com. By allowing an inch, people take a mile. If people didn't take a mile, maybe an inch could be allowed. But, since that isn't going to work, you don't get an inch. I probably cuss more than most of the people who visit this site. But, just because I cuss in my everyday life doesn't mean I have to write it in my posts on NSBB.

 

Same goes for everyone else. Attempting to skirt the words with symbols or abbreviations isn't acceptable either.

 

The mods don't get to every single thread. We also comb a lot of the threads instead of reading every word. With that said, we will miss some. Feel free to help us put a stop to the cursing. Send us a PM with directions to where it was done. We will take it from there.

 

For those of you who do not like that this is a family friendly site, I really don't know what to tell you. We have sports writers, minor league players, coaches, etc.. visiting this site, and I'm sure the credibility of this site would go in the toilet if we allowed all the filth this angry group could muster.

By the way , what is J Jones ops vrs right handers. Id like to know in facts how really bad he is. Coach L

If we didn't have to censor our language my post frequency would triple due to the amount of time it takes me to translate what I want to say to what I can say. And nobody wants my post frequency to triple.

He's hitting .273/.308/.482 overall, really bad.

 

He's hitting .319/.351/.571 vs RHP, which is really good.

 

He's a bad everyday corner OF, but a good platoon guy.

Q4T on both accounts.

Yes. He would be an excellent OF if he never had to face a LHed pitcher. A Craig Wilson/Jacque Jones platoon might rate as some of the best RF production in the league.

[CubDad4Ever]

J Jones has been the least of our problems the last 2week. I hope a more healthy pitching staff and some other guys like JP keep picking it up. Thanks for the splits , i thought he had been very strong against right handers . Thanks God thats mostly what you will face in the bigs. Coach L

Jacque's repeated poor OF play and baserunning has been very much a part of the problem the past 2 weeks.

True story,

 

When I was in highschool I went to the University of Michigan Football Camp every year. One year the swearing by the campers must have gotten out of control or something becuase Bo Shembechler had a sit down with us to talk about our language. I can only remember two lines

 

1. Cussing is a converstional crutch.

 

Then a few minutes later one of his staff inturrpted him with a question and he said in a voice only those within a ten foot proximity could hear:

 

2. I don't give a ______ can't you see I'm giving a talk.

[sweetpeteman]

I'd rather trade Pierre for Patterson, at least Jones does good sometimes. What a joke. Its obvious that Pierre has been figured out by the league and is no longer worth anything.

I love the poster in the sig pete.

Good story. That guy was a good coach.
