Right after the World Series, The Southpaw was shopping for a T-shirt to celebrate the Philadelphia Phillies. There was an awesome one at a local department store. It had a roster on the back. Which was cool.
Until The Southpaw realized Adam Eaton was listed on it.
But it's all OK now. The champs cut the chump Friday.
The Phillies won the World Series, so we can forgive them for signing Eaton to a $24 million contract.
In his first year the right-hander went 10-10, which is respectable enough. But there was the small matter of a 6.29 ERA. Then, last year he was 4-8 with a 5.80 ERA.
But those numbers don't do him justice. He was absolutely horrible.
And now we can look back at those times Eaton was a member of the rotation and do so with nostalgia, kind of like the way we look at our dorm room in college.
Afterall, the Philadelphia Phillies are World Series Champions - the Southpaw can never write that enough times - so what harm did Adam Eaton do?
None.
I hope he gets a ring.
And has a great year. In the American League.
