Jack Flaherty vs. Gerrit Cole, 5p.
Recent presidential candidate news notwithstanding, McDonald's sure is getting a lot of press this October--and I suddenly realized that it's the Dodgers who have been challenged by the fast food giant throughout this 2024 postseason.
First we had to beat the San Diego Padres, a team once owned by McDonald's CEO Ray Kroc, and former home to the San Diego Chicken, who just might be related to Birdie.
Then, we had to defeat Grimace and the New York Mets.
And now, we get an opponent in pinstripes--evocative of the Hamburglar himself.
It's a fast food conspiracy!
2024 World Series, Game 1. No wonder why my stomach is already churning.
UPDATE 10.25 10:45a: Here's the Dodgers' World Series roster. Alex Vesia and Brusdar Graterol in; Evan Phillips out (injury). Kevin Kiermaier off; Andy Pages on. Gavin Lux and Miguel Rojas back.
UPDATE: LET'S GOOOOOOO DODGERS!!!!!

I had no idea that Ray Kroc once owned the Padres. Learn something new everyday.

@Sax Have fun at the game! I hope you're planning to try the Deep Fried Peanut Butter and Nutella sandwich!
@Quad: my stomach has been upset all day. That sandwich would be the dagger
@Sax Haha! Ok. Just a beer to settle the stomach.
Just got in the Stadium. It’s madness!!!
The crowd is going to bring the energy tonight!
It's getting close to first pitch. Orel throwing first pitch, Steve Yeager catching and Brad Paisley is singing Our National Anthem.
let's do this!
Okay SoSG Nation!! Remember No Fat Ladies and No Prisoners!!!
Judge down on strikes. Need one more.
Ugh. Error for Edman.
come on Edman. that was weak
No damage. Now let’s get the offense rolling!
Freeman’s ankle looks good! He’s on third!
Freeman triple. dude.was hustling
Dodgers hit the ball hard but to no runs
Good job Freddie!! Freddie Sr. sitting with the Mary Hart family again.
Flaherty works around the infield hit.
We aren’t making Cole throw many pitches. Quick second inning.
Flaherty with another strikeout of Judge.
Flaherty is scaring the poop out of me
Sooooooo tense here.
Lux with the third flyout to the warning track.
Scoreless through three. This won’t last much kinger
Flaherty with a 1-2-3 fourth inning.
We’ve got the mariachi band tonight.
I don’t have data on this, but I could swear that we always lose when there is a mariachi band.
We certainly got thumped in NLDS G2 while they sang.
Scoreless through 4, but our ABs look like shit. I think Verdugo baited Freddie into that “triple” so he would run on the bad ankle.
great play Muncy.
Great play by Max
Kiki bringing it!
Dammit!
BOOOOOO
SHIT
Flaherty missed his spot and Stanton crushed it.
Ugh
I blame the mariachi band
oh shit. hold them Banda
@Sax....How's the tension now at the Ravine?
Banda needs to stop the damage here.
Big strikeout there!
Double for Edman!
TOMMY BOY!!!!!
RISP for Ohtani!
Damn. Can’t bring him home.
Bazooka looking super cool on that bare hand play!
jfc!
2-1 Yanks at the stretch. Nice outing for Bazooka.
gotta do something here.
They just cut off Dieter Ruehle to go to the mariachi band for the second time through.
This mariachi band is going to be the death of us.
Brusdar looked good though!
Teo with a leadoff single! Let’s go bats!
2 on base. something's brewing
Two on for Kiké now.

Will smith is so fucking bad
First pitch. What the fuck, Slappy
Should have had Kike swing

Tie game!!
end of 8. unclench a little before the 9th
