What was the Cubs' performance in their recent game against the Padres?
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.
Chicago Cubs baseball is on the air from Wrigley Field in Chicago. It's a scorching summer day at the friendly confines, 91 degrees, and the Cubs are as hot as the weather looking for their fifth consecutive win. With 12 homers for the year, hits a fly ball, left center field and deep. This ball's got a chance. Go! Three-run homer, Seiya Suzuki, number 100 for his career. Deep drive to left off the bat of Dansby Swanson. That is a long home run. And the Cubs lead four to nothing.
A few moments later.
And Dansby drives one in the air to center field. It's well hit. Back goes Merrill to the wall. It's gone. Another home run for Dansby Swanson. And the Cubs take a commanding 9-0 lead. But wait!
Here comes the 2-0. Conforto hits a line drive. Deep left center field. Merrill looks up. It's in the basket!
How did Dansby Swanson's performance impact the Cubs' victory?
Two-run home run, Michael Conforto. And it is now 15-2, Cubs over the Padres in the sixth.
No, we're not done. Dansby swats in the batter. Hits a fly ball into deep left center. Back toward the wall. Grand slam! Dansby Swanson with a grand slam to left. He has three home runs and eight runs batted in for the day. And the Cubs lead 22-3. Stop!
Stop! He's already dead.
Now the 3-2 to Taylor from Wicks. Hit on the ground to short. Dansby Swanson makes the play. Cubs win the ball game. It's an easy one today. 23-3. They finish off a three-game sweep over San Diego. The Cubs have won five in a row. They have won nine of their last 10 and 15 of their last 19.
Oh!
Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, Mark Grody. Middays 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio 104.3 The Score.
Hello and welcome on this holiday eve, or maybe you are already celebrating the 250th birthday of our nation. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score. It is Layla Rahimi and Dustin William. William Rhodes, hang it out with me for the first hour of the show.
What records did Dansby Swanson achieve during this game?
Thank you, Dustin. How are you, Layla? Thanks for letting me be here. Yeah, I might have already been heading back to the Burbs and maybe opening up my first McUltra of the long holiday weekend. Red, white, and blue can, right? So we could celebrate that. You've got a big red, white, and blue can that you're celebrating, what, tonight or tomorrow night? Tomorrow. Tomorrow night. Fresh Budweiser.
That is, yeah. We're doing a Budweiser bar crawl. I think I can call it that, where you can win Cubs and Cardinals tickets. Big, big deal.
That's a big series.
At one of five different locations around town. We're going from Navy Pier to West Loop, and then all the way up, we'll end at Gaslight on North Clark. We're going to start at the... I think we're starting... I got to look, because there's five places. We're starting at Navy Pier, actually, at 5 o'clock. So it's Billy Goat Tavern, then it's Crossroads Bar and Grill on West Madison at 540. So... Can we Seinfeld Frogger our way from Navy Pier all the way to Crossroads by 540? They gave us 20 minutes, so that's also the challenge.
I hope you have a very good Uber driver, or is Ryan Porth manning the 104.3 FM score vehicle?
Okay, so right city or right city wrong zip code. Okay. Mitch Rosen is manning the... Mitch is zipping you around.
Yeah. Interesting. Okay.
What are the implications of the Cubs' recent winning streak?
So we joke that it's Mitch's shuffle practice where you're going to learn how to Irish goodbye.
There you go. Yeah.
I think I'm pretty decent at it, but nobody's as good as Mitch.
Nobody is as good as Mitch. Nope. Mm-mm.
So it's Billy Goat Tavern, then it's Crossroads Bar and Grill, then it's the Rabbit Hole on North Wells, the Reveler on North Damon at 7, and Gaslight on North Clark at 740. So yeah, I'm definitely looking forward to it.
That's a good way to get your holiday weekend going.
But yeah, my friends are like, oh, what are your plans for Friday?
