"Joe Morgan, how come no one likes me?"If Jacque Jones makes the Opening Day roster, it's safe to say the world will end. He has a few things going against him...
- He is 34.
- As with Corey Patterson, he used to play for Dusty on the Cubs (a devestating combo for any Reds fan).
- He is coming off the worst season of his career and is batting .172 this spring (many Reds fans judge a player's entire career on one Spring Training)
- He is competing with fan favorites Chris Dickerson, Jonny Gomes, Little Norris Hopper, Laynce Nix and the ghost of Adam Dunn for a roster spot.
That's quite a mountain to climb for Jacque. I don't know what would make Reds fans dislike him any more, unless of course he was black with a French name.
Uh oh.
