I Think You’re Mistaken…..

I opened up the Metro, which I read during the train ride portion of my daily commute.  The sports section is where I begin my reading, and I came across this article:

Union Forward Says Don’t Call Me Chooch

Apparently, Carlos “El Pescadito” Ruiz doesn’t like the fans referring to him by the Phillies’ catcher Carlos Ruiz’s nickname, Chooch.  But I don’t think he hears us correctly.

We call him “Fat Chooch,” and we could do much worse if he’d like us to.  All he’s done so far this season is score 2 goals, through 8 matches.  That averages out to 8 or 9 for the season.  Aside from that, his teammates look so lost in trying to figure out how to get him the ball that it seems as if he doesn’t practice at all with them.  It’s pathetic that this team has yet to score more than 1 goal in a game, and Fat Chooch has played in every match.  He is more part of the offensive problem than its solution at this point.  Er go, he has no right to tell anyone what to call him.   Score some goals, and we’ll call you King Jaffe Joffer if you want.  Until then, get on the same page as the rest of your team for Pete (Nowak)’s sake!

End rant.
