While the SoSG burger meme continues to be exceptionally good luck for the Dodgers, trying to find Dodger-burger connections is proving to be increasingly difficult. Thankfully, a little restaurant in Tampa*, Florida called Danny's All-American Diner & Dairy Bar has come to our rescue! Their weekly special this very week just happens to be...
A Danny Burger with grilled veggies and a sun-dried tomato, roasted garlic and goat cheese spread!A Danny Burger straight from Chavez Ravine! It's like FATE. Because, above all else, Dodger Stadium is known for its grilled veggies, sun-dried tomatoes, and goat cheese spread.
Though, I'm pretty sure Danny Haren isn't exactly "A L.A. favorite" at the moment, but just work with me here. Not all of these references are going to be 100% Grade A.
*See? We did get help from Tampa this week, after all!

This is an great GT, Gnomes
Uribe ate three of those L.A. favorites for lunch, now he's out of the line up with a serious case of chorro.
Be sure to check your local listings to see if tonight's game is televised on WGN
I second Orel's motion
WGN!
Haren's shot at a no-hitter ends with the second batter.
I'm watching, and listening to Vin. Will try to real-time comment as long as I can here
Haren got Alcantara to ground out, then Coghlan had a base hit to left. Rizzo up now with a 2-2 count.
Rizzo, fly ball to right. Two out
Cubs lineup doesn't have a batter north of .286.
Coghlan steals second (5). AJ Ellis' throw was arced a little high.
grounder to Ramirez for the third out.
Haren starts out the month of with an scoreless inning!
Hendricks went to Dartmouth. Vin has already called him "intelligent" once. Hoo boy.
Is Dartmouth even an Ivy anymore?
Gordon comebacker hits Hendricks then ricochets off. Gordon reaches as a result. One hit, no out.
Hendricks apparently has a ton of family and friends at the game tonight.
Apparently Hendricks had a shaky first inning last outing.
Gordon steals (49)
Puig hangs out at first base on that close play at first. But he was thrown out by Castro. Please, sit down Puig.
Gordon steals third!
Cubs look like they might challenge the SB call? IT was close, but great TWC camera angle says it's Dee's 50th SB.
3-0 count to A-Gon, and they put him on intentionally. First and third, Han Ram up.
104 games for Dee to get to 50 SBs. I suppose this means Dee sat for six games?
Hanram hits to short, but Castro throws it into right field. A-Gon tries to motor all the way around to home and is thrown out at the plate (another close play)
Slow-mo replays show that A-Gon never touched the plate as he went by.
Official review rightfully calls A-Gon out. HanRam advanced to second on the error and throw.
Crawford lunges for a bad pitch; comebacker and is thrown out. Vin remarks how CC is struggling. He looked bad there.
1-0 LA through 1.
Haren wastes no time in giving it RIGHT back. Second pitch of the second inning makes it 1-1.
HAREN IS HORRIBLE
Valbuena hit that halfway up the right field pavilion.
4-3 ground out. one out.
Haren was at 3-0, worked it all the way back to full, and then threw one so far outside it was pathetic. Walk to Wellington Castillo.
Vin just read TInker to Evers to Chance (the poem)
Giants won, 5-1.
Haren lets Hendricks get his first base hit--grounder up the middle.
Nah, we didn't need David Price or anything.
holy smokes, Haren gets Alcantara to K to end the second inning.
8/28 is "Tinkers to Evers to Chance" Day at SoSG
A-Gon is Gone
AGon hurt on a slide? I mean, hurt sliding? He wasn't on a playground or anything
SVS is at 1B
The double play is now set up with Castro in at first.
Why can't Dan Haren be hurt on a slide?
This Deadpool mission at Marvel Puzzle Quest is hilarious
Dan Haren sucks
Good thing we traded for another arm.
Vin is totally bagging on former Giant Nate Schierholtz, not only for his .197 average but for the fact he is using batting gloves now
Oh yay, Maholm is up in the bullpen.
Why are we letting Haren bat here
PULL HIM
Truly pathetic... Haren almost thrown at first on a base hit to RF.
On the replay it looks like he's out
Haren actually gets a basehit to right...and is almost thrown out at first by Schierholtz (a la Mondesi).
Haren has his basehit removed by a Cubs challenge. Haren called out, 9-3.
Post-trade deadline odds:

Anyone using this 120 Sports app yet? Looks like it got off to a good start.
Sax takes the lead in our MPQ alliance for the Deadpool mission
Ramirez with a one-out single, but Crawford Ks (again) and Kemp Ks to end the inning.
4-1 Cubs through 4.
Uribe and Greinke in the dugout, with Uribe's arm around Greinke.
A-Gon right knee contusion says the WGN dude
Haren hits Rizzo and then Castro singles to center. None out.
Someone PULL HAREN
Crawford and Puig almost collide catching a fly ball. Crawford catches it. Puig turns his back on CC, and walks away.
Not good, Carl.
Puig fields the base hit to center and fires home perfectly. Rizzo wisely holds at third, where he would have been nailed.
Puig looks like there's something wrong with his jaw on the right hand side.
Haren finally pulled. Bases loaded, one out, Chris Perez coming in.
I'm going on a run.
dammit, damn good throw from Puig, but Ellis can't hold onto the ball and the Cubs score a SIXTH run.
Perez is of course getting tagged.
starting to google "shit burgers"
Turner had a play at third and blew it! 7-1 Cubs.
$6 Chili Shit Burgers
In positive news, I've got 5k points on the deadpool MPQ mission
holy cow, we scored again?!
hmm, maybe not
can't leave now, gotta wait for the call.
Count it.
8-2. That's right, Cubs. FOOTSTEPS
PGT up.
