Score!
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.
Our guy Manu Raju, anchor and chief congressional correspondent for CNN. He is a self-described rabid Chicago sports fan.
I've been going to Cubs games my whole life. I've been seeing most of the time Cubs collapsing and losing. I've been through so many heartbreaks in my life. You break my heart, Chris. You break my heart. One of the best games that I've ever been to. May 6th, 1998. Anyone?
Anyone?
What were the main issues in the Cubs' 5-2 loss to the Rockies?
The Great Depression. Past the... Anyone? Anyone? Carrie Wood? Yes! Carrie Wood game!
20 games. I was a senior in high school, and we decided... It was during a school day. It was early May Day. It was the middle of the week. We decided... Monty Rogers Day Off. Yes, exactly. This is the Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Freshman.
Damn, are you kidding? No, of course I'm not kidding. Do I sound like I'm kidding?
Who's he talking to?
Ferris Bueller, do you know him?
Yeah, he's getting me out of summer school.
We appreciate you letting us know how you're doing. We got a bug.
I hope he doesn't die. He can't handle summer school.
We're sitting behind Derrick Bell, who was the outfielder at the time, heckling him the whole game.
I don't really know what he said, but he was making fun of me. So I made two errors.
And suddenly I remember I went to the restroom and somebody was like, hey, what's got 16 strikeouts? We're like, oh, whoa. We're four strikeouts away from the record, a dying record. So you were not paying close attention to what was going on on the field.
We were having a great time.
We were having a great time. I'm having a great, great, great time. That is amazing. And then we were at the Kerrywood 28 strikeout game. It was incredible.
Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, Mark Grody. Midday's 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio. 104.3 The Score.
We are absolutely live. Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score. Yeah, our buddy Manu Raju from CNN who was on with us yesterday had the opportunity to throw out one of the first pitches out at Wrigley Field yesterday with him and his beautiful family. And then... And our friend Manu doesn't get back here very often, so it's a big special day. They're all wearing their fresh Cubs gear. And then Manu got to see what we've all been living through right there, live in front of his face. The Rockies beating the Cubs last night 5-2, and it's the same old stuff. Cubs 0-8 with runners in scoring position as they were just kind of shut down in that game. Marshall, what is happening, my friend?
Not much. Not much is happening. That's the problem with the Cubs at Wrigley.
How does David Ross view the current struggles of the Cubs?
You know, it's been since May 8th, the last time the Cubs won two games in a row at home. I want you to really think about that, because they had a 15-game winning streak at Wrigley earlier this season, but they haven't won back-to-back games there since May 8th.
I hate that these type of statistics are starting to pile up. Like the 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position. Like the fact that they're 3 for 39 over their last three games in that capacity and are hitting 077 if you need that. They are also hitting 145 over the past 11. 12 for 83 with runners in scoring position. And again, just a classic 0 for 8 last night. So these dumb statistics are popping up left and right, and I hate it. I hate it. Let's get back to the stats where every time Ian Happ hits a home run, he passes another ex-Cub on the list of all-time homers. I like that trajectory better than the things that we're seeing in Cubs games, which is the same thing every day. Every day is exactly the same.
I have a word for that. Again.
You said it yesterday. Again. Again. You wanted them to win again, though. You didn't want this again, though.
No, no, no. You have to come up with a way to have something that is sustainable.
