Peanuts by Charles Schulz for August 30, 2023

Hey mound, the way the Yankees are playing this year, maybe you should brag about being in the park near Charlie Brown’s house! (sorry Yankees, our Angels aren’t doing much better)

Now I wonder where the mound’s mother lives

Baseball is boooooooooring.

Yankee stadium? That’s another house of horrors for pitcher’s mounds this year (unless Cole is on it).

This is one of those punchlines that always gets me.

Pitcher’s mounds got mothers!

The mound lied to it’s on mother!?

When it rains, his name is mud.

Is Yankee Stadium in NYC another name nowadays or not?

Right now, it probably is in Yankee Stadium.

as the regular mound or one of the ones in the bullpens?

Tell her you’re rehabbing in the minors.

Maybe the mound can say it’s in Shea Stadium, which was around at the time of the comic.

Charlie Brown, why don’t you give up?

But someday never comes.

thanks mom!

That mound doesn’t give Charlie Brown any joy, almond or otherwise!

The wait list for mounds to get into Yankee stadium is long. Most give up during the application process. The ones that get in usually have connections with the mayor.

Don’t worry, mound – you’re okay as long as she doesn’t come to visit.

I wonder if the mound and school know each other.

Leo Durocher said nice guys finish last. But who wants to be Leo Durocher?
