I would have gone with "Pham Bam Thank You Ma'am" as the thread subject. Good OF depth signing (career OPS at Citi Field of 1.029).



Darin Ruf, don't let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya

[G-Fafif]

"Along with Ruf, Pham gives us another syllable," Eppler explained. "Vogelbach already has three."

[Benjamin Grimm]

622 plate appearances in 2022: 387 with the Reds and 235 with the Red Sox. Total of 23 doubles, 17 homers, and 8 stolen bases.

After an extended hitless streak Gary better say Pham is famished

I would have gone with "Pham Bam Thank You Ma'am" as the thread subject.

The Russian Judge gave mine a 3.6

He gave yours a 5.9.

The judges also would have accepted Pham-Tastic or We Are Pham-i-lee

"Welcome to the Mets Fam, Pham."

"Welcome to the Pham."

[Bob Alpacadaca]

Don't let him in the fantasy football league.

Billy never listened to me when I demanded Pham in the Luis Castillo trade he was afraid to make. He went Naquin instead.

Haha! I never heard that before; I'll bet my grandkids would love that expression!

[metsmarathon]

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Was Pham the guy who punched another guy over a fantasy football beef?

Yes.

That was Joc Pederson.

Pham has seemingly been a bit of a mercurial character. Raised in Vegas, he went to three different high schools, before committing to two different top baseball universities, before attending neither. He's had problematic relationships with both his father (who has been incarcerated most of his life) and his stepfather. He's a big-time gambler, which he openly brags about. He's been stabbed twice and, as noted, slugged an opponent over an internet fantasy football beef, which may or may not be related to how seriously he takes the gambling thing.



As attractive as he might be as a deadline acquisition, he didn't help the Red Sox that much last season. Tore it up for the Rays after a deadline deal in 2018, though.

[whippoorwill]

Oh awesome

[kcmets]

Shoulda just overpaid Dom Smith and kept it in the family.

[Lefty Specialist]

Phmeh.
