To say that D.C. United's acquisition of Carlos Ruiz has inspired strong reactions from the Black-and-Red fanbase would be understatement. A commenter pointed out - and I think this may be right - that our collective reaction has to be one of the most negative backlashes to a player in MLS history.

Full credit to Pajoy. Despite the obvious handicap of his ridiculous hair[1], he did manage the only goal of the game.

COUNTERPOINT: Why I Don't Want Carlos Ruiz, A Player With No Place In D.C. United Tradition

Black and Red United at related • 0 views

When D.C. United announced yesterday the surprise acquisition of Guatemalan forward Carlos Ruiz, the discussion here quickly turned to a comparison with Charlie Davies.

The comparison is a bit contrived, given that they each arrived in D.C. in very different circumstances - Davies as an immediate fan favorite, returning as a hero to the place that almost took his life and giving us the opportunity to watch him rise from the ashes, and Ruiz as one of the most hated players in MLS history.

Color me both uninspired and unsurprised by the Ruiz acquisition.

I grew up in the same neck of the woods as Ben Olsen, and though I'm a touch older than he is, I know (and am related to) folks who have shared a field with him. They're all pretty consistent in both (a) detesting Ben as an opponent and (b) being ready with an anecdote about how he bent or plain broke the rules in pursuit of winning, even when the game was meaningless.
