I started seeing Twitter posts claiming there was a new thirst trap shot of Chris Evans and I thought, “haven’t we seen enough of Chris Evans thirst traps?” But, who am I to say no, right? Well, let me tell you – Chris does not disappoint. In possibly the greatest shirtless shot ever, Chris gave us this:
Dodger! Before I get started in a proper gushfest, Chris might want to be careful posting captions with “Dodger” in all caps and blue hearts right now. I get his dog is named after a musical and the blue heart probably means his pup is his support unit, but it looks like this Mr. Boston’s trying to low-key route for LA in the Series.

It’s the only therapy I’m getting these days.
Sorry, I’m very anxious about the election and really don’t know how I am going to get through this week, so I need Dodger shots and a few stolen moments with my dogs between now and then. For those who also need a little extra help this week, here’s your moment of Zen:
