Glad to see a great game from Murphy yesterday, driving in all 4 Met runs. His season numbers don't seem terribly impressive when looked at as a whole, and he certainly didn't wind up as the electric number 2 hitter I thought he would be, at least not this season (not that they could afford to continue batting him 2nd when Reyes got injured)...but he had a couple of really tough months when pitchers adjusted to him, and it seems like he's finally made his own adjustments.
Hope he can finish up the year strong, because he's most likely gonna be back at 1B in 2010 (no way they can move him back out to LF). I envisioned him batting around .280 or so in his first full season, and he's gonna fall short of that mark but considering he had to be bumped down the order I don't think it's that bad. Francesa stills rips into him and declares him a huge bust every time somebody mentions his name. Fat fuck.
