This hour is brought to you by Menards. Save big money at Menards. The views and opinions of Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, and Mark Grody should not be taken too seriously.

It's just sports. Okay, thanks. Bye.
Rahimi Harrison-Grody, 10-2 on 104.3 The Score.
I have not ran across a Cubs fan that's like, oh no, right? Because they know over the course of 162, they're going to be all right. Now those other teams. I think you're wrong.
Ray, how many times have you said oh no this season? Several.
Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh, no, about what? Oh, no, about not scoring runs. Oh, no, about the number of injuries sustained to the club's pitching staff.
Oh, no, we're not going to the playoffs. It's still early, but I'm looking at... Let me ask you a question. Are you, oh, no, we're not going to the playoffs? Not yet, but I do.
Are the Cubs ready to take off after their recent performance?
But I am, oh, no, like... You're just oh-knowing because you're a Cubs fan.
Yeah, oh, no, the Brewers exist and always find a way to be troublesome.
So you think they're pessimistic? I'm not superstitious, but... I am a little stitious. But I think your impoverished view of baseball from a White Sox fan is you're looking at like, you don't even think the Cubs have first world problems. You think the Cubs have first class problems. Yeah. Do you see the tears, the levels?
A bunch of high class folks do a bunch of high class things.
My champagne isn't as cold as I would like it to be in.
Cheese. First class champagne.
This cheese is not brie. And I would like brie cheese instead of this cheese that I have. That's what Cubs fans sound like. Nobody wanted cheddar.
Well, your problem is you're so used to eating string trees. You're like, how can you be upset about that?
What is the impact of injuries on the Cubs' pitching staff?
We're eating government cheese over here. And you're worried because your cheese is not quite as cold as you would like it. It's like watching that fat guy catch a cannibal stomach in slow motion.
Spoiled, spoiled man. Tough as you would like it. Mine isn't even sliced. Yours is coming in.
He's over here in Tom and Jerry world. Just, oh, a block of cheese. Let's go.
Leave the f***ing cheese there.
All right? I love f***ing cheese at my feet.
Layla Rahimi. Marshall Harris. Mark Grody. Midday's 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio 104.3. The Score.
You know what we do on Rahimi Harris and Grody. And welcome in on 104.3 The Score along with Marshall Harris. I am Mark Grody. We, for better or for worse. Ride the roller coaster of 162 baseball games in a Cubs season. Some of us, me, Ray, we like to sit in the front car. And we want all the loops and the corkscrews. Put your hands up. Put your hands up, y'all. Oh, and Tyler admits to riding the roller coaster and the roller coaster of consternation and elation. Wow, that sounded neat coming out of my mouth. I don't know about you, Marshall. I feel like you do to a certain point, but you're a little more reserved. You'll wait in the full line. Well, we got the fast pass to the roller coaster of 162 games because sometimes I do hear it's early coming out of your mouth.
Well, sometimes it's actually just early. How about that, Grody? And I'll say this. I like to be in the middle of the pack and I don't raise up my hands because what happens is when you raise your hands up, sometimes... Cubs fans get a little delusional and they think that they're getting excited by raising their hands on the way down when really they're just being stuck up and everything's being robbed from them. All the joy and the entitlement they feel like they have to the playoffs. I think that's what Gabe Ramirez was talking about is Cubs fans are so entitled to a base level of success. Hello.
Yo, I have been saying this for a while, probably since the 2016 season in the midst of it. I think entitlement is an okay feeling for Cubs fans to have because guess what? It took a long time to get to the point where Cubs fans feel a greed for winning and entitlement for winning because previous to the 2016 season, it was the losers' lament.
