Meech: Hey, he brought us Joe Blanton! Cupcakes!

His baseball skills are lacking and any criticism regarding that is justified. I just happen to empathize with his position, on the outside looking in with his soon to be former teammates enjoying a World Series championship. I’m sure he’ll get a ring, but relative to the others, that ring will be worthless to him I’d presume.

Nitpick all you want with my articles — it’s certainly an error on my part for getting the uniform wrong. :)

Perhaps I'm just too hard-headed, but saying he deserves empathy because he sucked so bad the Phillies had to trade for an extra pitcher seems like <em>too much</em> of a stretch. I'm sure if he gave two shits about the team he would've been able to finagle his way onto a parade float. If you don't want to pile on and bash the guy -- I can dig that. However, he certainly doesn't need to be defended for being the shittiest starting pitcher in the majors. And I don't mean to nit pick, but Eaton switched his jersey number from 23 to 21 in 2008.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('3497','meech.one'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('3497','meech.one','I appreciate what you were trying to do here, Bill, but fuck Adam Eaton.

He was a jerk then, and i'm sure still is! He had the i'm better than you are personallity. Don't get me wrong, i rooted for him because he came from my home town (so did HOF'er Earl Averill) but it is bitter sweet seeing him get the same look he gave all of us from his peers in baseball.
