The Score! This hour is brought to you by Menards.
Save big money at Menards! The views and opinions of Laila Rahimi, Marshall Harris, and Mark Grody should not be taken too seriously. Especially when they give advice. Do not take Marshall's analogies literally. Especially when it comes to Russell Dorsey. The sports thoughts of Rahimi, Harris, and Grody may change at any time. It's just sports. Okay, thanks, bye! Rahimi Harrison-Grody, 10-2 on 104.3 The Score.
A-Rob is the co-host of the Press Police Podcast. We enjoy having him on. Thanks for coming on today, Alan.
I appreciate it. Thanks for having me.
I think I want to start with that, just your funny aside about Ben Johnson. That is not the first time I have heard a wide receiver use the term evil when it comes to Ben Johnson. I feel like you say it with love, but at the same time, there's a bit of fear to it.
Scary, scary, man. Definitely. You know what his expectation is, and it's very high. Ben Johnson is a coach who's going to hold you accountable to the standard in which you should hold yourself, and that bar doesn't change or waver at any point in time.
Get comfortable being uncomfortable. His competitive edge for you was the top line on his scouting report. How do you kind of describe what you experienced in the time that you had there just watching that sort of competitive edge be something that could create, I guess, a vibe?
I specifically remember against the Seattle Seahawks. We were playing them at home and they brought a blitz zero and we hit Jamison Williams across the middle for like a 65 or 70 yard touchdown and fired up as up. understatement for how Ben Johnson was demanding that they bring a blitz like that on us again. Do you want someone to stop you? Because no one's going to.
Nobody better try to stop me.
He wants to gut you. He doesn't want to just hunt for blades of grass against blitzes, against the Coach Flores defenses. He's hunting for the jugular. He'll kind of make it look like, you know, that they're vulnerable to the blitz and he'll dial some stuff up to be able to create a chunk play. Then he finally admits this is the kind of car that he's been looking for. Oh, really, says I. That's when I go in for the kid. Layla Rahimi. Marshall Harris. Mark Grody. Middays 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio. 104.3 The Score.
We will talk a little football on this show, but this is a very, very baseball-y day on Rahimi Harris and Grody on this Monday. May the 4th be with you. And I feel like it is with the teams in town. Marshall Harris, Layla Rahimi, and you today. And we begin, not just, we'll talk about the White Sox at 1045. We did a little bit of that in transition with Molly and Haw, but... Your Chicago Cubs looking strong to quite strong. Marshall, take your pick as to the numbers that we can do. Pick A or B with impressive Cubs number that you would like me to say first.
Are you giving me the options, the A and B options? Okay, I'll say B. B. This is blind. I'm blind picking, guys.
I have no idea what the two options are. The Cubs have won 11 straight at Wrigley Field. Okay. A, they have won 15 of their last 18 games. This isn't just the 10-game win streak. You are seeing a team take control in a way that isn't just, I feel like, fun to watch. That's, I think, the baseline, but a sweep over the Diamondbacks. They withstand the Ildemar Vargas hit streak that he had to begin the season and the one that dated back to the last couple games of the year before. And they take advantage of the elements at Wrigley Field. And we see them come away with a sweep. And now we're seeing a real body of work out of this team get put together.
The best thing about the way the Cubs have been playing is, you know, when they suffered their three-game losing streak after winning 10 in a row, it was the first time all season that they had lost three games.
Sad piano. Pour one out for the three-game losing streak.
No, but there's going to be ups and downs. It's just how can you minimize the downs and maximize your ups. To bounce back from that three-game losing streak and to win five in a row and to get yet another sweep at home as they've now won as many games in a row
