Tilly dog (white lab/AmPit mix with brown spots) is sitting on a couch with her head draped over my right shoulder. My head hasn’t been shaved in a couple of days and the sides of my beard are currently out of control.

Upcoming games: No Kruk tonight (game’s on Fox)

Play by play from ESPN.com claiming that Garrett Stubbs is out here throwing professional pitches and not just being a catcher in a blowout.

Krukker staring into the middle distance so as not to acknowledge Farrah Phanatic

It’s true. It’s damn true.

Clippy meme with a text bubble reading, “Hi! It looks like you’re implying that the guys who stormed the beaches at Normandy were the bad guys. Do you want to take a second and think that the fuck through?”

Screenshot of the Padres’ transaction page announcing that they DFA’ed Nick Castellanos today. Bummer.

Selfie on the couch - I’m in a blue Theater in the X T-shirt but that it entirely obscured by the above average sized tabby cat (Nick) on my chest around my neck like a bib, and a 60 pound lab/pit mix (Tilly) curled up and resting mostly on the lower half of the left side of my rib cage.

No, of course not. That’s actually us - playing Kate and Petruchio in Shrew the summer after we got married.

Screenshot of my text thread w my wife - the caption “I’ve officially been declared furniture” is sandwiched between a selfie with our cat Nick curled up and napping on my chest and a photo of our dog Tilly curled up next to me on the couch with her head on my lap.

Selfie on the couch - me (51y/o wm) being smothered by Nick Fury, a one-eyed tabby, while Tilly (white lab/AmPit mix) makes sure I pay attention to her by lying across my shoulders like a stole.

Me and Phoebe at the Girls on the Run 5k we ran together in 2019. She was 10 and I’d just started running.

Yeah, that's a pretty good shot.

Shot of me during BSR26, just after City Hall - we're heading south and City Hall is in the background on the right, with the columns and the front of the 4 Seasons on the left of the background as we head down South Broad.

First year running it in 2022. It was hot as balls and this is the fastest I’ve ever run 10 in an organized race. I was pushing it and it looks like I want to die.

A photo of my Dad, Donald Abraham Browns (1946-1995) who passed while o was in college. It’s the 31st anniversary of his passing today.

Got the bling back home. Five straight years of BSR medals - I’d be more bummed about them not making them double as beer openers anymore if I still drank.

Tilly dog, a white lab/AmPit mix with brown markings and a white collar, lies on a gray couch cushion in the sun. Just behind her head sits Nick Fury, a one-eyed (get it?) gray tabby with a big white ruff and socks. They are, for the moment keeping themselves to themselves.

Bib #9809 for this Sunday’s Broad Street Run, which is me!

Tilly, a white and brown lab/AmPit mix, is sitting in her normal morning spot on my shoulders/the back of the couch. Her head is over the back of the couch and she’s peering intently out the window into the back yard.

IJS, Worked with Charlie.

Upcoming commentator schedule for the next three Phillies games in Atlanta - tonight is on Apple TV so Alex Faust and something called a “Ryan Spilborghs” are calling the game. Then it’s Tom and Rube (??!?!!) for the remainder of the weekend. No Kruk to be found as the losing streak skids on.

A picture of me with a lot more (and darker) hair, holding my eldest Phoebe, who turns 17 today.

Tilly dog, a white and brown lab/AmPit mix, is lying on a tan dog bed cover on her back with one forepaw stretched up towards the ceiling. Her hapless attendant is scratching her chest.

Scorecard. LFG.

Taijuan Walker’s pitching line so far today with his season ERA (I think correctly reflected at far right) at 9.26, and therefore under 10. Still terrible, but under 10.

Paul F Tompkins (@pftompkins.bsky.social)’s post - text reads “I do not like when Kruk is not in the booth”

Scorecard for today’s game - filled out all the way through Justin Crawford’s game winning single in the tenth

FUCK!

IYKYK

LOL

Me and the girls paying respect to the man.

Jason Kelce hugging the Phanatic

One inning pitched, 10 pitches, 9 strikes. Other than the HR nothing to complain about. You’ve been Nola’d.

A Venn diagram showing the overlap between circles labeled “Eddie Vedder”, “Chris Cornell” and “a duck”, as “don’t mind stealing bread”. I’m not explaining the reference. If you’ve gotten this far to try and explain the joke and you don’t know the song being referenced explaining it isn’t gonna make it any funnier.

Legendary Phillies PA Announcer Dan Baker at the 5k!

“Flat Me” for the race tomorrow - blue shorts and leggings with a maroon “Philly” t-shirt I bought from a dude across the street from Citizens Bank Park out of a shopping cart.

Tilly dog (a white lab/AmPit mix with brown spots) sits with her head on my shoulder. Shes lying across the back of the couch just behind me and she’s almost entirely obscured by my (white side, 51m, bald with a big white beard wearing a Power Pro Lucha tshirt) head and upper torso.

Tilly dog, asleep in my lap. She’s a white lab/AmPit mix with brown spots in a pink collar. Shes lying on a brown blanket across my upper thighs. Shes out cold and I’m currently getting sleep twitchies.
