I wonder at these ridiculous scores we hear about in every game. The way I understand the rules of baseball is that it’s not enough to have as inept opponents as Charlie Brown’s team to score so high: you also have to be very good. An average team could beat an inferior one, true, but they wouldn’t also get such crushingly high scores. They seem to so rarely have outs that the innings last as long as they were alluded to in the previous strip. Who the hell are they playing against, the Yankees?!
