What was the pre‑game atmosphere at the Cubby Bear before the Cubs‑White Sox showdown?
Yeah, that just didn't sound any better the next day either, and that's probably my third or fourth listen to that discussion. This is Rahimi Harrison Grody on 1043 the score. We are coming to you live from the Cubby Bear today, courtesy of our friends with Yangling ahead of the Crosstown series finale. If you're going to the game, come by, say hi. We will be here until twelve forty five, followed by Zack Zadman's pregame show. Until first pitch. It is all brought to you by Yingling Flight, the next generation of light beer. We're already happy to see that we're not the only ones here. We got we got some early risers getting ready for the game. In fact, Sam Antonacci's sitting at the bar. Oh, that's just his jersey.
Careful, don't
don't get hit by a pitch. Careful. Careful
Sam Antonacci jersey. Don't don't get don't go hanging over the plate with your elbow and then get hit in the elbow pad.
No, wait a minute. He likes that. Sam Antonacci likes getting hit by pitches. I'm worried sick about Sam Antonacci.
Well Colson Montgomery's right behind us. Yeah, there's number twelve Montgomery. I could I could say flair. That's that's appropriate, right?
How did the rain delay affect the momentum and strategy for both teams?
We're in a bar, I think it is, yeah. Can never have enough flair.
Nicely done, Sam Antonacci.
We look forward to seeing you
play today. I just hope
he doesn't lean into anything over there. Don't let your
elbow be hitting a beer now. I've seen him already with the social sparklers.
But
this is a but this is a good example.
I'm
sorry, I couldn't hear we're st I know we're still working on the mix a little bit.
If you're mad about uh, you know, take your ass to go play, you know, tennis or play an individual sport. Oh yeah, yeah.
It's so pleasant. But it's tone go out there, take your ass, put your sports. I think
he also had trouble figuring out what wasn't a team sport because he's so used to playing team sports there.
That's fair. Yeah. Look, golf. Well golf can be a team sport. Right. That's the thing.
Well, yeah, there w there was the team sport golf concept, but I think it got absorbed or something. The point is there's a buzz here already. It is ten oh nine in the morning.
Why was Alex Bregman's walk‑off hit the turning point of the game?
People are getting ready for game three of Crosstown. I'm not surprised at all, given what we've seen the last two games on the north side, given what we saw in the three games on the south side. The people are up, they are buzzing, they are ready, and they are ready for this day game. last night through the hour and a half rain delay. You know, they're singing first of all, they played Bear Down Chicago Bears. That was tremendous. That's on our score social media pages, the score Chicago, if you want to check it out. And then uh they also had the Tarps off who infiltrated the expensive seats, which I also loved.
Yeah, did they get kicked out? How did that work? 'Cause how uh first of all, how did they get down there and then how did they get the people who were sitting there get their seats back? Is that just strictly during the rain delay? I was trying to figure that out.
I'm not sure. Yeah, the ingress and egress, if you will, was not a uh discussed
wait, are we just dismissing the possibility that those were their seats? Are you guys just assuming that those guys were not actually sitting in those seats?
Something changed then in in Dr. Jekyll Mr. Hyde fashion when the rain delay came on if those were indeed their seats. 'Cause that was a very different type of crowd than I saw before and after the rain delay.
I know at stadiums or I don't know if necessarily Wrigley Field, but there are some ballpark stadiums that allow for fans in situations where the lower bolt like if there's people not down there or rain delays or whatever, they allow people to push down. I have no idea if that's the case at Wrigley Field. I am just gonna assume that they had those seats.
Yes. Okay.
What role did Javier Assad play in stabilizing the Cubs’s pitching staff?
That's fair. My fault. Yeah. Nineteen seventeen ticket holders. I I underestimated your game. Nicely done with charps off. But either way, a different vibe than what we saw, I think, even the day before. But same results. PCA has a leadoff home run.
