From “25 Scrappiest Philadelphia Phillies”:
12. Tug McGraw
14 of 25
- Pitchers aren’t often tabbed as “scrappy” players, but you have to admit that the designation fits former Phillies’ closer Tug McGraw to a tee.
Traded by the New York Mets to the Phillies, McGraw arrived with a chip on his shoulder that would fuel his success. When the Phillies became World Champions in 1980, McGraw hoisted the trophy and famously proclaimed the New York could “stick it.” The Phillies were number one.
He’d come out of the bullpen, slap his thighs with his glove, and sell a kidney on the black market if that’s what it took to get an out. A rough and tumble closer, McGraw was quite the scrappy player.
I remember it from some commercial for - i dunno, anti perspirant or something 😄
Tug McGraw! Tough as Nails!
Fly fly fly So high in the sky
Careful Mr Burrow - i hear they have wolverines there!
Yes
FTC is making some awesome moves while it can
Remember they fired their corporate communications and even municipalities mid-project can’t get anyone on the phone. It’s burning down.
That said, I would not be shocked at all to find Elmo with his fascist oligarch mitts on this. That fucker needs a serious regulatory beatdown. (Not an actual, like, punching him in the head beatdown.)
Lucky you that you got to see her!
What gave it away?
“Kevin Thurk. We meet again. Only this time the advantage is mine!”
Y’all hear the scary music yet?
One of the things I liked best about The Orville was its homage to the TOS aesthetic. “Just go to IKEA, buy a bunch of tables, chairs, and bookshelves and paint them.”
Cheap sets are a key to the charm of Star Trek. When it gets too CGI-ey you know they’re off base.

Haha! Man just thinking about how often I must have watched that for it to be stuck in my brain and randomly appear in 2024 is wild.
