He was the first player in history to get a hit in all 19 games in a single season against his former team, clubbed 7 HR against them, pumped his first after every defensive stop and celebrated during every single game against the Mets like it was the World Series.
Why in the world would I want to see him win a ring? To further validate that Sandy completely fucked up in his assessment of him as a player?

Nobody in their right mind could've guessed Murphy was gonna hit 40 plus points per ops+ higher than his career numbers. Nobody. Not even the Nats, because they'd be lying if they came out and said they saw it in him. The only reason they signed him was because they couldn't get Philips from Cincinnati. They just got lucky that Murphy had a likely fluke season.
And who cares? He's not on your team. What does sulking about it do? Adrian Gonzalez plays and murders the fucking Padres. Every. Single. Year. Murphy couldn't lace Gonzo's jock. But who cares? He's not in the hometown jersey so whatever fluke got steak he gets or career year he pulls out of his ass is moot because it ain't on the hometown team. He walked. Just let it go man.
