Peanuts by Charles Schulz for March 17, 2022

no one?

No mercy rule in your league eh Charlie Brown?

“The winner takes it all”

I’m glad.

What? No Pyrrhic victory? Shucks!

His pitcher’s mound is back to normal.

63-0…and it’s only the first inning…

I think you need to change the pitcher once, give it a try Charlie!

Sounds like something which happens regularly in Blaseball

Hey, Charlie, 0-63 is, well, let’s face it, terrible. Your team definitely needs a retooling. When I was a youth soccer coach, my boys beat the other team 13-0. I did everything I could to keep the score down. I even gave pointers to their coaches to help them better lead their kids, but to no avail. They did tighten up their defense toward the end, but not enough. It turned out the coaches, though willing and able, knew nothing about soccer. As that game was our first of the season, we saw them back toward the end and they were a totally different team, though we still beat them, but by a respectable margin.

Hey Chuck, ever see Snoopy lose tennis? He’s not THAT good of a sport.

You know often times at Phillies games I hope for an occurrence like that.

At least they want to be fair.

This seems to be a bit out of character for Lucy….

If lightning strikes them dead there is a chance

The original GOAT. He pitched like I did but I never gave up 63 runs that I can remember. He was my hero.

Lose by “Default” lol “Earthquake “ hahaha. Nice one!

He has a crack shortstop who is on the verge of passing Babe Ruth’s lofty total of round trippers!

Ah,well.There’s always an invasion of tiny insects;aka Joba Chamberlain.

One thing he rarely does as manager…send in the relief pitcher.

Anyone know the date this strip first ran, specifically whether it was before or after the ’89 Series? Since Peanuts only lasted till early 2000, I would think that, if it were after, it would have been “too soon.”

The reason why Charlie Brown loses baseball games like that is because he is there. Now if he wasn’t there, they win

This 47 year old comic strip is cracking me up.

Fun is fun.

63-0 in baseball is like 300-0 in basketball… tactical annihilation.

An earthquake, the other team is swallowed up, AND you have played fewer than 4½ innings.

Shoulda practiced more back in Feb.

Though she was fairly prominent in the 1960s, Frieda appeared just TEN times in the comic strip after 1969, with her final appearance occurring on November 22nd 1985. Schulz manifestly did not feel the same affection for her as he did for Violet and Patty, who kept popping up in occasional cameos until nearly the end.

I wonder if ‘winning by a landslide’ came after something literal happened.

With the way you play, Lucy, you oughta be praying for an earthquake. Maybe it could swallow Frieda up as well so no one has to hear about how she has naturally curly hair.

I guess, the “10-run rule” doesn’t apply, at that point.

63 home runs in the first inning?

1,008 “Balls”.
