For a guy who only found out about DoorDash this summer and regularly forgets his cell phone password, John Kruk has no problem navigating Twitter and putting Mets fans in a body bag. Tell Krukker he’s ruining home run calls and call him a “fatso” at your own risk. He’ll hit back harder with his legion of fans #butthurtbaby:
The funny thing about this guy is that when you look at his profile, you can tell he’s a Mets fan. How many Phillies highlights does he watch in agony, only to know that Kruk says “YES!” to home runs? Is this what it’s like to cheer for a team that’s in third place? So jealous that you can’t watch highlights of your first place rival anymore? What a pathetic existence.
And if we’re being honest, that’s not even close to the loudest “yes” we’ve heard from Kruk. It’s barely audible and he lets T-Mac do it:

This is Kruk’s equivalent of Chris Wheeler silently pumping his fist as Harry Kalas announces the last out of the 2008 World Series. What makes Kruk the best at what he does is that he just says every little thought that comes to mind. Guy went through every emotion you can imagine during that Castey game last year:

Can you imagine getting angry at this guy?
I certainly can’t:

John Kruk knew this kid’s name immediately and knew he had the beard from an Ocean City Boardwalk game. Best in the business. https://t.co/pQ8Czub98Y

PS: Notice I said Twitter in the headline. It will always be Twitter. Miss me with that X, early Twitter crap all the newspapers do. It’s the Dixie Chicks. It will always be the Staples Center. The Sears Tower. No matter how many versions of PlayStation Sony makes, it will always just be called PlayStation. It’s called Pangea, for heaven’s sake!
