Jacque Jones Quotations

I haven't felt good about my batting average. I'm sick about it. I can't stand it. I know I'm much better than a .250 hitter.

I bring a lot of energy. Hopefully, the other guys can feed off my energy.

I've seen friends go through it. Sammy Sosa hit 60 home runs three years in a row and he went into a little slump. They have a right to voice their opinion. It's not going to make me play any better, it's not going to make me play any worse.

I hit down there every year. It's not a big deal. That's where I do my baseball stuff, that's where I do my weight lifting.

If I get off to a bad start, they might boo. I don't know what to expect from Chicago fans. I'm going to go out there and be myself and play, and play hard. No extra.

I can do it. Last year probably wasn't the best batting average, but I've hit the most home runs I've hit against lefties last year and the most RBIs. Now it's time to hopefully put it together.

No, I don't think so. Like I said before, I'm going to go out and play and play hard. Right now it's a little tough. I'm not getting very many hits. I'm hearing all kinds of stuff in the outfield. But, hey, I'm here to help this team win.

My understanding is it's a mild strain, and I'll get a couple days off. I'll get treatment and see how everything goes.

It's tough any day you lose, especially now. We pretty much have to win out. Our pitcher pitched well enough for us to win, but we didn't play well enough behind him. That's the story.

Hopefully, I'll be able to get back on the field in a couple days.
