This hour is brought to you by Cars for Kids.
It's time for Five On It. Rahimi Harris and Brody bring you five topics on their minds today. Number one.
This question was submitted to us by the vacationing Marshall Harris, who is a noted White Sox fan. Shout out to Marshall. Noted White Sox fan, Marshall Harris.
What topics are covered in the Five On It segment?
On what date will the White Sox catch the Cubs in the standings?
And then I joked because I was frustrated about the Cubs nine game losing streak. And I was like, oh, you mean Thursday? It is actually possible on Thursday, but it would take a lot of things to happen because I did the math. I started writing things down over here. So right now, if they're 27 and 26, then theoretically, if they sweep the twins, which I would love. The weird-ass twins? Yeah, the weird-ass Minnesota twins. Shout out CeCe Zabathia. Then it could happen on Thursday. And that pretty much just involves the Cubs splitting the series with the Pirates. Like, Jordan Wicks is on the mound tonight. You asked for this, Mark. I did. I talked it into existence. But I just don't know if because of that they end up winning the game.
So the way I saw it was it could happen Thursday. Friday, everybody begins a new series. You've got Detroit for the Sox. You've got the Cardinals at Cards for the Cubs. God, please win the series against Pittsburgh so that way the Cards fans aren't insufferable. Maybe they'll be too distracted by the tarps off thing. They just want to be a group and have fun. Maybe. Do we need to get Ranji on? No, we can't have him on because he's on the air at the same time. He works at the same time as us. Jerk. He's such a jerk. We would have had Ranji on nine million times. You're right. If he didn't work at the same time as us. He'd be another character on this show, probably. Yeah, there's not even a doubt in my mind.
He'd be on on the days that I'm not here. Just adding to the mix. So then I started to look at the June schedule, and that's where it gets hairy for our socks, as Steve Stone likes to say. Because then you've got three more games against the Twins. Those don't bother me. But then you've got the Phillies. They're much better now. Then you play at home against the Braves and the Dodgers. Then you play at the Yankees. And then you play at the Tigers. Then you're home against the Guardians. Yada, yada, yada. I decided to just pick a day and said June 27th. Okay.
What is the latest news about the White Sox?
That Braves and Dodgers series is a bit hairy for the Sox. Let's throw the Phillies and Yankees in there, too. That's the real stuff. That's not a very great... Yeah. Yeah, I am... So the 27th is probably not even possible based on the teams I just mentioned. Yeah. But for the sake of this, either Thursday or the 27th. I think June 27th is when I predicted the Bears would confirm where their stadium is going to be built. Isn't that... Oh, I don't know. Look in your calendar. I made you put it in your phone calendar. I did. I did. I don't want to look at this second. I said August of 2027. Yeah, you... I feel like... You're in poll position right now, I think. No, because the legislative session is up on May 31st.
Exactly. And now I'm hearing things out in ether that it could be another month still. Slag heap. Slag heap. Slag heap. Tommy Slag Heap. I don't know that we should be chanting that.
Green Bay sucks.
Rank the champs. Actually, Green Bay kind of is a slag heap, isn't it? No, stop that.
How does the Cubs' performance affect the White Sox?
First of all, people do build on slag heaps. The goal is to rehabilitate land. Secondly... It just is a hilariously ridiculous phrase. Well, exactly. Again, versatile. It's like Green Bay sucks chance. It goes with anything. You could say slag heap and it's going to be a great conversation. It's just one of those phrases that pays. It gets the people going. Our guy, or my guy, Jordan Wicks, as you said, as we look towards when could the White Sox overtake the Cubs in the standings. He talks football with you. Wait! Cubs suck. Jordan Wix, Wixie, a 444 ERA and seven starts at Iowa, although his last two appearances have been good. So I got a little bit of hope for Wixie.
