"His boyfriend Fargol will back him up on that. "

Just about every post you make backs up my assertion you're nothing more than an immature kid who thinks he wins "arguments" on the internet.

Keep going, I won't stop you.

honestly its just funny

the post that he is misconstruing into murph being a gold glover?

i said that according to all defensive statistics available that murph was actually a better than average defensive 1b, significantly better than lucas duda at 1b, and that lucas duda was a greater defensive liability in rf (according to all available statistics) than murphy would be at 2b...mainly bc defensive stats predict that, over a full 162 game season, the caliber of defense duda provided in rf would have cost us 41 runs over the whole season..at no position has murphy ever posted numbers that bad, not even LF

this, in his mind, became me calling murphy not just a gold glove 1st baseman but as he put it a "platinum glove" 2nd baseman as well...he later claimed that i DID in fact say this...like 3 years ago...on a different account....that got banned (i have over 10000 posts bc i DONT get banned)...or maybe i just deleted it right after...but he memorized it word for word

the idiocy that is evidenced by him continuing to spout this nonsense makes trying to reason with him something that is better left for people w/ a solid special education background

You mean like 90% of the posters up here?

Man, your "jabs" are weak. The idea behind arguments and debates is to, well, argue and debate.

Relax, it was a joke. I'm rooting for the guy, even if deep down in my heart I know the truth that the Mets can't seem to accept: He has NO position on this team other than the one the Mets are trying to shoehorn him into, and should be either a PH, DH, or 1B in the AL at best.

i like how the minute murphy makes an error, a thread pops up

but no threads for his hit or turning the double play....kid can do a bunch of things positive and no one even pays attention but the moment he does something negative its "murph in mid season form"

how about the fact that his turning double plays has improved light years beyond where he was last season? any one care about that?

You know Roaddoc8, the Murphy bashers wait until they see he made an error or bad play. Other players on the Mets dont count. Today throw by pitcher to 1st (E) throw by Bay (E) 3 errors. When Turner makes an error nothing is said. Murphy made a beautiful double play today, but that doesnt count. Its that way, thank God that Murphy doesnt read these posts. Dickey said yesterday that Reyes will be missed for his energy and brightening up the team, but we have Daniel Murphy now who does it all by himself. That is what we need and not the negative remarks.

Still dont get the hate for Murphy. Maybe its just a thing to show up other people on the forum for being wrong, like you people were last year. He was our second best hitter last year and hit .320

Its the classic example of some Met fans overrating a average player. They always do this and they do what ownership/management does where, the player achieves something or does well part of a season or one season and they refuse to give up on him when he has 2 or 3 straight seasons of poor/average stats hoping that he is going to magically somehow return to his production like he did on his breakout season or half season. He doesn't have a position. He is not consistant. Everyone sees oh wow 320 average, yet fail to bring up his 2009 season which he stunk. They look at his 320 average but yet fail at seeing that he doesn't steal bases, not a great baserunner, doesn't have power numbers, doesn't score a lot of runs, doesn't drive in runs, and has horrible defense. He is overrated but just like John Maine, this team waits until they know for certain that he is not going to blossom into something big. Maybe this year they will get the hint, maybe 5 years from now when we keep bringing him back.

I really doubt he is going to sustain a 320 average over 590 at bats

I really doubt he is going to hit 25 homers

I really doubt he is going to steal 30 bases

I really doubt he is going to drive in 90 rbi

I really doubt he is going to score 100 runs

I really doubt he going to run faster than he does

I really doubt he is going to play above average defense

I never understood the hard on for this guy
