How are Cubs and White Sox fans feeling about their teams?
Well above average offense. Drilled line drive, base hit, left field. In to score is PCA. Stopping at second is Bush. Seah has now hit in 10 in a row. And the Cubs lead 2-0.
From Saturday's game right there, that was a win for the Chicago Cubs as heard or seen, I guess, in that case. On ESPN and ABC7, you could see the game there. The Cubs, yesterday actually is when that was, the Cubs losing to the Giants by a final score of 5-1. It's Rahimi Harris and Grody on the score. By the way, as you heard the big voice guy saying, telling the news of the day that Tiago Splitter has been hired as the new head coach of the Chicago Bulls, we will continue to talk about that in about 25 minutes. For right now, 125. Brian Geltziler will join us from SiriusXM to get more insight on him. and the Chicago Bulls, and we've barely even talked about the Knicks title. Maybe we'll get a question in there.
What insights does Brian Geltziler provide about Tiago Splitter's hiring?
But right now, we are talking about your baseball teams in a segment we simply call What Do You Think About Your Baseball Teams? Because... It's been a long time since it's been like this, and I'm not just talking about two teams that are, believe it or not, yes, competitive. The Cubs are still in the playoff picture. That's happened before, and I know it hasn't happened in a little while, but it's not even that. It's just because of how unexpected... Both teams' seasons have been, and both have been, highly unsuspecting, surprising. You did not think the White Sox were going to be doing what they're doing, being in first place, alone in first place, as we are speaking right now. Nobody thought the Cubs would be this bad or this streaky this year with the two 10-game winning streaks and the 10-game losing streak to go with it as well.
So that is why we are playing this game this year. of what do you think about your baseball team? 3-1-2-6-44-67-67. And let me lead us off here, because I feel a certain way about my particular baseball team, the Chicago White Sox. I feel like they are respected. if I had to put it into one word, Mark.
What are the current standings and performance of the Cubs?
And for a long time, they haven't gotten maybe as much respect as they deserve. Of course, we know those power rankings come out every week from various sources, whether you like MLB.com's power rankings, the Athletics power rankings, ESPN's power rankings. MLB's power rankings are out. And after taking two of three from the Dodgers, after beating the Braves in two games at home, a four-and-one homestand, after winning 20 of their previous 24 games at the rate. The Sox are up from 9 to No. 6 in the power rankings, according to MLB.com. The only teams ahead of them, the Rays at 5. The Yankees at 4. They can do something about that in the next four days. the Brewers at three, the Dodgers at two, and the Braves at one.
So just to recap, they're number six now, and they just took series from number one, number two, and they have a series starting tomorrow with number four in those power rankings. that's pretty amazing yeah the white socks off today at the yankees tomorrow the cubs after the series finale loss yesterday five to one the cubs do take two out of three and they host colorado tonight it is a rematch of last wednesday's game in colorado show to imanaga against michael lorenzen show to Did look good. Both those pitchers looked good.
How have the White Sox performed this season?
Very similar numbers in that last game. But here the Cubs are again on the Cubs side of things. We're going to get to your calls here in a second. 3-1-2-6-44, 67-67. We're talking about the same old stuff with the Cubs yesterday, obviously, with the 0-for-6 in runners and scoring position. The Cubs did score five on Friday. They scored six on Saturday. Got some big hits along the way. PCA leading off the game with a home run on Saturday. The big three-run home run by Michael Busch. during the Friday game. Here we are, though. It's like the Cubs, despite how bad it has felt, they're still right there in the playoff picture, having taken two out of three from San Francisco, and yet again, yet again, another opportunity to take advantage of a bad team that they're playing.
