Hate to say this, but not trading Jones was a huge blessing the last few weeks. It just stinks that it took him so long to figure out to hit the other way.

 

Why do you hate saying it? We all wanted him gone and saw no purpose he could positively serve on this team. He has been huge for us and as a long time critic, I'm glad he's picking up DLee, who has been pretty awful over the last fifteen games. Remember the old cliche, some of the best trades are those you don't make.

I wish DLee hadn't swung at the first pitch. I thought Jacque deserved a curtain call. He has been my goat for a long time, but today, thus far, other than Hill, he's been the player of the game.

 

The sad thing is, if Jacque Jones hit 60 HRs and was given nightly curtain calls he would still never like the Cubs. For some reason, the Cubs fans just hated him like no other Cubs. Think about all of our bad FAs signings, none were ever hated as much as Jacque. The man hit a career high in HRs and was still hated by the Cubs. Not fair, and I feel really bad for the guy because you have to believe that he thinks racism is the reason.

 

Todd Hundley. Put away the race card.

He flipped off the fans. He brought that all on himself.

 

Whatever the reason, Hundley was more hated than JJ.

Think about the crap white guys who catch a pass though. Augie, Koyie Hill, Paul Baco. None of them caught what our black guys did.

We hated Latroy Hawkins more. A lot more.

 

Todd Hundley too.

 

Based on performance... Cubs fans were ecstatic about the signing. Todd Hundley too. Cubs fans were ready to boo jacque heartily the moment he first stepped into the box at Wrigley.

Illini you really arent being serious right? Augie Koyie Hill and Paul Baco came here with no expectations, compared to Latroy Hawkins, JJ, and others, and thats not even mentioning the money they made compared to Augie etc...

That wasn't what was being discussed. I was contesting the comment that JJ was the most hated Cubs player.
