What are the initial thoughts on the Cubs' recent performance?
The views and opinions of Layla 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.
The question that we're going to ask here, and we welcome you to play along with us, is how do you feel about your Chicago baseball team? 3-1-2, 6-44, 67-67. I know how you feel about your team, Smiling Marshall. I mean, look, by no means am I someone who hates the Cubs or anything. I'm just excited the White Sox aren't going to lose 100 games, it seems like. You like to poke the Cubs a little bit. No, I do not poke the Cubs. I tell the truth. You don't poke the Cubs when I'm talking about Cubs fans. Oh, yeah, yeah. Just people I know, though, not the general public. Me and others.
How do the hosts feel about the state of Chicago baseball?
Because I said very specific things, and you guys kind of laughed at me.
An astute observation has led to laughter. We are laughing.
And that's fine that you guys don't respect my baseball knowledge. That's okay. I'm okay with that. This is why Sweden, Chris. Never Finland. I'll never doubt you again. When you talk about the Cubs being a 500-team mark, I point to how exactly are they going to get to being a winning team now? That's the problem. Right now, the way I see it, it's obvious because if you watch these games every day, there is no way out for the Chicago Cubs. There is no hero in the minor leagues. There's no trade to be made right now. So all Craig Council can do right now is what he has been doing, and that is just being desperate. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Let's go to Will on the south side. Will, you're on the scorer.
I lost probably like $5,000 so far in the Cubs this year. We scored one run, two runs a game, man. Come on, man. Sir, please don't gamble more.
Will, you got to reduce the ante or something, man. Stop betting on the Cubs for this particular time period. I get it, though. You're all right, Will. You're going to be all right.
Yes, hopefully. Pray for me.
And I'll do the three things that help the most. Pray, pray, pray. Laila Rahimi, Marshall Harris, Mark Grody. Middays 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio. 104.3 The Score.
Sometimes you just need a little help. Sometimes you have to ask for help. This is Rahimi Harris and Grody on 104.3 The Score. We are happy to join you on this Friday. It is Marshall Harris, Mark Grody, and Layla Rahimi with you as we talk about a show after a Cubs win. What? Yeah, and they scored runs. How many runs? Nine of them. Nine together.
Is that different from how many bears? I'm just making sure we're all on the same page here.
Do they get bears for scoring nine runs?
No. No. Because we all know. No. Do it again now. We've seen this before. We saw a triumphant win a couple of weeks ago that we all thought was going to be the catalyst for greatness, and then 18-3.
One time, well, I used to joke. I used to always say, oh, yeah, spread some of those out for the other days, Cubs. And then listeners actually thought that I was serious, that I thought that you could spread runs out over other days. And then I was like, why are you listening to a sports talk station? But seriously, can you not just do it in the one game? You need to do this throughout other games. And then that happens, you have a better chance of winning a series against a team like the Rockies, where the best you could do is salvage one out of three. Well, I'm happy you got the one. It doesn't feel like a whole win to me. It feels like a half of a win.
You know why it only feels like half a win?
What challenges does the Cubs' pitching staff currently face?
Because when you look at the standings today, understand this. If the Rockies had won that game yesterday, they would still have the worst record in the National League. That's why it feels like half a win. Look, I am happy for Cubs hitters doing something they haven't done since April 25th. Yeah. They hit three home runs in the same game for the first time since April 25th.
