There’s a great scene in “A bridge too far” when sean connery’s batman brings him a cup of tea.
“My plans are in ruins, I’ve lost contact with my lead units and I’ve got lunatics laughing at me from the woods. Do you think any of that will be helped by a cup of tea?”
Same reason you always have to lose the second game, the third game, the fourth game, the fifth game, the sixth game…. the third-to-last game, the second-to-last game, and the last game of the season.

They always lose the first game. And the second and the third …

And every other game after that.

Maybe Charlie Brown would enjoy tea-ball more than baseball.

Since he has the ball on the “Tea”, will he take up golf next?

Face reality, CB-you lose EVERY game of the season (except the times when the other team didn’t show up, and you won by forfeit).

Well, well, well! Wonders will never cease! Drink up and go home, CB.

“Couldn’t hurt sir.”
He took the tea.

They found the ball!!! I thought with Charlie’s pitching one of the opposing batters should have put it into low Earth orbit.

Come on, Charley Brown, drink the tea and get on with life.

It has to be cold out for the tea to offer sufficient comfort.

Alternate ending: Don’t you feel better now, Charlie Brown? People always feel better after they’ve been served a cup of tea by a pretty face.

Better question at this point, Charlie Brown, why do you think you’ll win ANY game during the season?

I’m a day late but someone was asked, and the answer is no, you don’t say St. Patty’s Day. Patty is Patricia or a burger.
