Why do the Cubs need a strong performance this Memorial Day weekend?
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! Rahimi Harrison-Grody, 10-2 on 104.3 The Score.
When I was trying to check on the Cavaliers and Knicks game during the Cubs game and during the White Sox game, like, ah, this is a hand for Cleveland. Well, they're just taking that momentum from Game 7 against Detroit, and they are using it to their advantage. And then the Knicks came away with a win and an incredible comeback, 115-104 in overtime.
During an 18-1 run during this time, Kenny Atkinson, the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers, although I don't know for how much longer if this continues, held on to two timeouts, one of which could obviously have been used to try to stem the tie, as they say.
Held on to two timeouts and then lost in an epic comeback, you say? How exactly did he explain that one?
Yeah, I like to hold my timeouts.
Could Pete Crow-Armstrong benefit from a day off?
I mean, you know, I didn't want to have one timeout at the end of the game. One or two point game, I try to hold them.
Yeah, we're going to let it play out.
The hair. The hair is also very similar. At least somebody told us their actual strategy.
That's fair.
At least Kenny's out here telling you what he was thinking.
I think we handled it the right way. I do believe that, you know, you just re-rack the play, get it in balance, and call timeout, and that's why we held it and didn't work out the way we wanted it to. Does he make fresh honey at his home? It's been great watching him, observing him, and also getting the honey. We harvest honey out of there. Have a beekeeper.
It'd be cool if I could do that, but I'm a little busy.
What are the implications of Ian Happ's strikeout issues?
I was in the commercial break scouring the Kenny Atkinson locker room videos in the hopes that he was giving all the Cavaliers players nicknames, but it's not a thing. He's not that Eberfuss.
Big Dog, you good? Spidey, you good? Governor? Young Jedi. The Canadian Eagle.
That's what they call him. You gave me Monster of the Midway.
And what else? The Beast. I got nicknames for you guys, too. Layla Rahimi. Marshall Harris. Mark Grody.
How has the Cubs' recent performance affected their standings?
Middays 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio. 104.3 The Score.
What's up, yours? Ah, memories. We are thrilled to report that score listeners over 24 hours, thanks in part to Danny Parkins, of course, putting this together. The Cubs for a Cure Radiothon has raised over $800,000. In the name of cancer research and 24 hours for raising awareness for horrible conditions like glioblastoma and so many stories that were shared on these airways over the last 24 hours. We cannot say thank you enough. And before, as we take the ball after 24 hours, starting at 10 o'clock yesterday morning and Danny going a full 24 until 10 a.m., I just wanted to start with that as well.
This feels like the minutes following any given trade deadline because it is over 800,000. But guess what? They're still tabulating the final number. So that's not even done yet because, you know, trades happen at the last minute. Donations happen at the last second.
What impact does the injury to Matt Shaw have on the Cubs?
The computer takes a minute to catch up.
Every little bit helps. And we saw donations that were bigger in number and some smaller, but the point is every single one matters. So thank you again. It is just an incredible, incredible act. And at a time where money for research is no longer as plentiful and when your wallet is no longer as plentiful, given what's going on with gas prices, inflation and the like, this is incredible. So again, thank you to our SCORE listeners and our SCORE family for somehow, some way, always finding a way to just make every single year better. It really is just absolutely overwhelming. So I want to start with that. And thank you. At least we got to start with one positive today. Now we got to start with the sports part of it as well.
I have a positive. The Cubs, White Sox, neither of those teams lost yesterday.
