From Paul Sullivan's column today:

"Sure, Pham berated an MLB Players Union rep in the clubhouse Tuesday when the poor kid made the grave mistake of asking if he wanted to fill out a players’ award ballot, like many of the rest of the players had done.

Pham went into a prolonged rant about the CBA and how the union did nothing for veteran players like him, and told the young rep to relay his feelings to MLBPA executive Bruce Meyer, who is negotiating for the players as they try to remain the last major sport without a salary cap. Unfortunately, no players were around to hear Pham’s rant, and the media just watched in amazement."

This happened yesterday?

This is spectacular.

When will we change the thread title to “Tommy Pham was back?”

Someone give me a reason to stay mad, quick, I'm coming down

Basically, just don’t ever enter the clubhouse or locker room when Pham is around. It ain’t worth it. The Schriffdawg found this out the hard way.

Also a bit funny that a good player in his heyday who is still playing in the MLB at age 38 and is nowhere near the player he once was is bitching about anything, considering he has made over $40 million in his career. This dude seems to be a little off his rocker like our old friend Crazy Carl.

Quick, ask him what his stance is on dinosaurs.

Pham showing up and immediately doing this is just such a bad look. Just move on, it isn’t hard. He has a long list of people who do not care for him in the MLB there is no reason to think too hard about it

Just an unforced error bringing him in

Surely someone is surprised by this. Like, at least one.

I loved Carl Everett. He was one of my favorite players and was a key to the 2005 World Series Championship. Tommy Pham is no Carl Everett.

I did too, but he was out there. But Carl was also a much better acquisition for the Sox both times.

I would say a slightly milder Milton Bradley

Injured teammate Tommy Pham was the most demonstrative person in the Chicago dugout, cheering wildly for Peters. He even celebrated when Peters was hit on the forearm by a pitch from Connor Brogdon in the ninth.

“I’m not surprised,” Peters said. “He’s always getting excited by hit-by-pitches and walks.”

Mind boggling that they did. This is a young, loose clubhouse and you bring in a guy who once punched a teammate over Fantasy Football beef. No idea why someone felt he’d be a good fit and it honestly seems like the team has been playing tighter since he arrived. Just some dumb decision making post draft.
