Carlos Ruiz has been traded to the Dodgers and it is sad.
Not in the sense that it's a move that remotely affects anything about the current state of the Phillies. It's sad simply because Chooch -- lovable and awesome and wonderful Chooch -- is no longer a Phillie.
Chooch will be remembered for catching Roy Halladay's perfect game and no hitter and that little dribbler down the line in Game 3 of the 2008 World Series. And, of course, dropping to his knees in celebration with Brad Lidge making them World Effin Champions.
Thank you, Chooch.https://t.co/HMyRb1CN8d— Phillies (@Phillies) August 25, 2016
But mostly he'll just be missed. What a guy to have aroud for so long.
Roy knows how hard it is not to have him around. I guess Chase won't need his any longer since the two will be reunined with one last chance of glory in L.A.
