OT: The crazy resurgence of Tommy Pham

[imadangman]

He just got fined for making an obscene gesture at a fan

See, he brings a lot to the table.

I like the guy and admire what he has accomplished.

Yep. Not many guys have recovered from two separate stabbing attacks. Congrats, Tommy.

I'll tell you one thing he doesn't bring and that's this country club grabb-(donkey) laughing with the opposition on the bases or in the dugout when his team is getting its brains beat out.

This team as it sits now leads the league in that [shirt].

[BrummerStealsHome]

There was a time when I was among the biggest Tommy Pham honks here. Now I see him for what he as, fools gold. But a lot of desperate clubs go for fools gold around the trade deadline.

I like how Tommy plays the game, especially how he works the pitcher in his at-bats. Yeah, he's got a lot of rough edges and yeah, he's not making any A/S teams at 37 but he represents exactly the kind of inexpensive offensive investment that talent-bereft teams like Pittsburgh should sign. It has paid off for the Bucs and for Tommy too. Good for both of them.

Now that was funny!

Y'all are awfully contemptuous about a guy you've never met. Maybe you wouldn't want Tommy marrying your daughter but he's always been OK by me. I bet his teammates agree.

Yep.

Funny that Basil thinks he knows more than MLB front offices.

Also, yeah I'm totally obsessed with Pham. I think this is my first Pham OP in years.

lol...MLB front offices are as quick to get rid of his malcontent butt as they are to bring him in.

He is brought in by low-budget teams to fill a spot on a low-dollar 1 year deal with the hope of flipping him to a contender late in the season for a fringe prospect. Don't kid yourself Pham fanboy.

"MLB front offices are quick to get rid of him."

"MLB front offices sign him to MLB contracts."

So which is it? LOL

That’s what I like about him. He’s a survivor.

Comprehension has never been your thing. You get confused every time you lust over TP. Your fanboy routine is super cute, though.

So Pham is such a ‘malcontent’ that teams give him mlb deal?s?

Hmmm….

[Basil Shabazz]

your obsession for Tommy clouds your ability to comprehend. Very sad. You should seek help.

LOL. You're the one who wrote a contradictory post.

Nice try to deflect.

They say stabbing is a crime of passion. Usually known to the victim. Tommy pizzed some people off.

His stepfather, who was the first stabber, was undoubtedly passionate about TP. Not many can arouse those feelings by their relatives.

I don't hate on guys like Tommy. He's clearly broken. Howrver, I can be as judgemental as many when I look at his behavior pattern.
