He started one of the 3 playoff games and drew a walk which prompted the crowd to act like he hit a homerun.

He didn't do what they brought him here to do.

And he reminded us of that almost every time we saw him.

Asking us for a specific memory is like asking someone to pick a particular turd from a sewer line.

I was at his Met debut in early August, a two-run pinch double vs the Braves that drew a rousing ovation. Would not have believed there were only nine more hits in his Met future.

Oh well. Bad trades are always going to happen, and this was one of them.

He had a thing against double-consonants.



But he ain't gone yet.

Blue eyes wide and blinking, like he was about to cry when he was hitting.



This was an act of mercy because nobody deserves to be booed on opening day

Looks like Topps and Typewriter ended up using the same photo.



The Designated Hitter rule has rendered the Schaefer Mets Bench Player of the Month/Year award completely meaningless. Ruf was the winner for 2022 mostly due to an appearance as a mop-up reliever. It really may be time to retire the Bench flavor of Schaefer.

Him too. He's citing Stark in that tweet though.

I'm more curious about the source for the ass-sucking report.

Ruf in the SF lineup tonight, following Flores, Conforto and Davis.



And he doubled home Conforto in his 1st AB.

Re: Memories of Darin Ruf

Maybe the Giants'll reinstate Edgardo Alfonzo to pinch hit a grand slam tonight for them or something.

I expect he's referring to the New York Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Yes, I was referring to those two teams and upon re-reading it, I understand the confusion. My keyboard stuck and all the letters I typed didn't get to the post. Now fixed.

Sorry.

At this point he is pretty much toast. I expect him to suck in whatever uniform he is wearing. Just glad he is no longer sucking in a Mets uniform.
