It appears the Danny Drama is back again. Young Daniel has been trying to work through some intense growing pains this year… and he continues to get very little help from his manager.

Take Murphy’s 5 RBI game. Sure to get him in the lineup the next game right? Nope.

How about 2 nights ago, Murph has 2 doubles and makes a move that hasn’t been seen since Ron Jeremy’s 1996 thriller Yin Yang Oriental Love Bang, guarenteeing him a start the next night right?  Nope.

After months of fans wanting Murphy’s head on a platter for his struggles, it seems that he may be gaining his support back at the expense of Jerry Manuel.

Granted, the Mets are only 24-31 when Murphy starts but here are some stats you may not have been aware of…

Murphy is:

1. Batting 1.000 against Lefties when he gets a hit
2. Has gotten on base after every walk
3. Tied for first in the National League with no errors committed on July 8th

These numbers are nothing short of delicious.

We can however, expect Murphy to be in the lineup tonight against the Reds, how do we know this?  Because Jerry said so.
