The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for August 11, 2024

So they are waiting for the rain to start?

According to Italian tradition, opening an umbrella inside the house brings bad luck. That’s normal for a Born Loser.

The rain is supposed to be relaxing when you’re home.

Cute move Brutus. But opening an umbrella indoors is far worse than breaking a mirror. I think I spy Mother Gargle coming in for a 7 day landing pad…

Good for you Brutus, team spirit and all that. Makes you feel like your’re there. Brutus you win today. Imho

It shouldn’t surprise Brutus would pull off this move.

Thanks Debby. The tropical storm I mean.

that’s the spirit

He enjoys sharing in the reality.True story- When in my 30’s I had a flight simulator on my home computer and I enjoyed learning everything about flying and navigating. I’d start the engine, and then review my flight plan as the engine warmed up. It took about ten minutes for the oil temp to come up, and then I’d take off.

BRILLIANT, BRUTUS!! ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!! If Veeblefester could only see you!

Brutus’ brain is in a delay.

should sit outside and turn on the sprinkler for added realism

Setting the mood .

Our hero really gets into his sports! Yay Brutus!

For a true “in the park” experience.

Get the tarp!

you never know when it might rain indoors. :D

Is Brutus going to have bad luck or worse luck than that?

The high def television is so high def Brutus could feel the rain!

His team suffers, he suffers with them. That’s a sportsman…..

Cute, Brutus, but close the umbrella and go fix yourself a snack.

People have long thought baseball needs more immersion. It takes a fan like Brutus to find a way.

What’ll he do if it’s postponed?

And he wonders why he’s the born loser.

getting the full like you are there experience! Without paying $20 to park and $10 for a beer

He needs to go stand in the running shower, too.

If you can’t go to the game… Bring the game Home!

How cute is this? If it makes him feel like he’s “there”. So be it! He’s not harming anyone!

Brutus’ inner child is showing.

Keep it up Brutus. The Twins are closing in on the Guardians.

HAHAHAHA. Brilliant.

You’re missing your beer and your glove!!

Go Rockies. down by 6 in the 8th to the Braves, and they came back to win! Won the series. We may suck this year, but watch out in the future.

brutus needs to roll out the tarp before the carpet gets soaked…

☺

Two possibilities: One is that Brutus is, unbeknownst to us, a frustrated method actor. He’s trying to experience everything his team is going through. The second is that the picture resolution on his HDTV is so good that he’s protecting himself from splatter from the rain delay.

Of course, as The Born Loser, it could be that he fully expects that the dark cloud that hangs over him really will let loose with a thunderstorm on his head.

Brutus is definitely a real baseball fan!
