Jones was booed Tuesday night when he lost Tadahito Iguchi's fly ball in the lights and watched it bounce behind him and into the bleacher shrubs for a ground-rule double. He was cheered after hitting the go-ahead, two-run double in the sixth, and booed again after striking out on three pitches in the seventh.
"I've been here for a year and a half and it has been that way," Jones said. "I'm not everyone's favorite here. That's fine.
"I'm here to help this team win. Whether people like it or not, that's just the way it is. "
Jones had an RBI double in the third Wednesday and misjudged a Pat Burrell fly ball in the fourth. He hit .288 in July to raise his average to .242 but hasn't homered since June 1.
"Maybe it's not my season to contribute totally on the offensive side," he said. "I did that last year. [Maybe] it is my season to contribute defensively or offensively here and there or to get it going and be
an offensive force like I can be."
