Justin Ruggiano

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Signed by the Mets, AND IN TONIGHT'S STARTING LINEUP. Reyes to DL

Ruggiano goes where God leads him and Lord knows we could use some divine intervention.

Some advice to Justin: avoid twitter.

[Frayed Knot]

I vaguely remember Ruggiano with the Marlins a few years back ... (looking it up) he had one good partial year and got rewarded with increased playing time the following season and couldn't match the stats.
Since then he's been a part-timer with the Cubs, Mariners, Dodgers, and then got 4 ABs with Texas this season before getting released. Didn't hit that well at AAA Round Rock either.

BR/TR, 34 y/o.

Good WW material /creepalert

RH bat, can play CF. you're hired

This Met season really reminds me of the MFYs season a few years back when they had a bunch of AAAA guys in regular roles like Lyle Overbay.

"So, Justin, tell us about yourself. What are your h..."

"Fishin', huntin', golf."

[Lefty Specialist]

When they posted the lineup at Citi, there was a lot of 'huh?'

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

So, um, yeaaaaaaah. Not exactly Carter-in-'85 tonight, huh?

[Guest Mets Guy in Michigan]

Looked like he nearly killed himself trying to get that shot in center.

[Zvon]

I thought he broke his neck. I suppose that would have been par for the course.

At this juncture, I'll take Paciorek-in-85.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Or Hurdle-in-'85, yeah.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

He's like a total cliche of the guy we need: Fearlessly leaps! Brazenly steals! Aggressively charges! Yet winds up without the ball, without the bag, and without the ball, respectively.

[Edgy MD]

My modest goal is to get more juice out of Ruggiano than the team got out of Rick Ankiel.

[ashie62]

Another Jason Pirdie.

[Vic Sage]

injured already. A true Met!
