Chapter 1: What is discussed at the start of this section?
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.
Bye. Bye. Rahimi Harrison-Grody, 10-2 on 104.3 The Score.
Adam Amit, Bill's play-by-play announcer, joining us in studio.
Jason Bonetti and I connected the other day, yesterday, and we were chatting. Actually, the day it happened, on Sunday, because he called me when he found out the news, because he was in Chicago, he was doing the Cubs game. And we were kind of silent for a second. And in perfect Benetti fashion, he goes, do you remember when you guys did that game in the studio, the Sox game?
We don't see that every day. There was like a two-hour or something rain, a three-hour rain delay. And Stacey ordered P.F. Chang's.
for dinner like on doordash or uber eats or something how spicy would you like your chainsaws oh man i have no idea what's going on and he the guy couldn't find the entrance and stacy had ordered like 80 bucks worth of chinese food and the guy couldn't find the entrance so he ordered it again and we never got the food during the rain delay this is michael scott yes hi
And then we had to call, like, a not very fun Sox Royals game from the studio. And he never got his $175 with the PF chicks.
Is that DoorDash guy delivering food straight to Kevin's door? I thought the dash was on us.

Chapter 2: Who is Adam Amin and what stories does he share?
He was just like, remember when you guys and the delivery guy and we both just started cracking up.
Can I get some, give me the hot sauce on the 50 pence, please. Oh. Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, Mark Grody. Midday's 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio. 104.3 The Score.
Our most sincere thank you to Adam Amin for coming in yesterday in our studio and sharing stories about Stacey King. If you missed it, strongly recommend checking it out on our Odyssey app, on our Rewind feature, and also our featured clips. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score. On this Wednesday, Mark Grody is in. Layla Rahimi is in with you.
Last night, I know we're on an office kick, Mark. I know you love watching The Office. I do too. We talk about it a lot. We heard Tyler Buterbaugh's open where The Office was mentioned yet again. That was fantastic. But...
If last night wasn't watching the Cubs and the Sox at the same time last night, if that was not the episode of dueling Christmas parties where you have Angela's Christmas party, the Nutcracker Christmas, and that's the Cubs game. And then you have Margarita karaoke Christmas for the Sox 80s broadcast. I don't know what is that was.
That was clearly the winner was Sox game 80s broadcast Braden Montgomery out of a movie. Get the call up and then walk it off with your first career home run being the day you get called up in a walk-off situation. You could not have written it better last night.
No, you could not have. And I guess the one good thing about what you were saying with the dueling games is it made it a lot easier to know which game to follow. focus on, because that is always... I have two conundrums during Cubs and White Sox. You don't know which game to focus on. You have to kind of guess.
You have to kind of feel your way through it, and you can have both on, but you know what I mean, that you can focus on it. It's also, Layla, very difficult for me to get my daily dose of office episodes in while I'm trying to watch a Cubs game and a White Sox game. But no, barely a problem. Yeah, it's like you're watching Eduardo Julien hitting another... RBI hit. A new Cubs killer is born.
Getting the Joey Weamer award.

Chapter 3: What are the highlights of Braden Montgomery's debut?
Let's get to the, and we'll get to the 80s part of the broadcast, the sights and sounds in our next segment. But how perfect is this? Listen to Bob Costas and Steve Stone on the call for the walk-on.
Obama. His most crucial at-bat of his first game. Sends it in the air to left. It is back near the wall. It is over.
For a game-winning home run.
How about that? Talk about drama. Talk about theater. What a ball game. And what a Major League debut for Montgomery. Braden Montgomery, remember the name. This guy can play. He's a member of... The organization brought up as a first-year player the 12th first-year player for the Sox this year. His new teammates, some of whose names he may not yet know, all waiting for him at the plate.
Is that not incredible to hear Bob Costas and Steve Stone in that moment for this?
So he's now called, Bob Costas is now called epic moments for the Chicago Cubs, the Chicago White Sox, and the Chicago Bulls on the Jordan final shot.
Every time I see that shot that Jordan takes, I hear Costas' calling.
Oh, absolutely.
The voice of our lives.

Chapter 4: What challenges are the Cubs facing this season?
It's 4-3 Braves at the time. Tyler Davis comes in. Atlanta has base runners on first and second. Nobody out. And he got out of that inning. So I want to thank the people that made this possible last night. I want to thank Tyler Davis for making this possible. I want to thank, shout out to Jacob Gonzalez for making this possible last night.
What about my pick to click, Miguel Vargas?
What about the one-armed guy? Miguel Vargas, thank you for making this possible. Last night. All of you played a part.
Thanks to Grant Holmes for having the performance that we thought he was going to have against the Cubs against the White Sox. Do you remember that? We were like, Grant Holmes, the Cubs have it easy this day. Then he goes like a billion innings and gets his best start ever. Meanwhile, against the Sox, he only goes three and two thirds and gave up three earned runs.
Thank you.
Thanks. Thanks for finally having that game.
Who else made this pop?
Eric Fetty went 5-8.
He had the opener, but the Fed man. Shout out to the Fed man. A little bit of Fetty. Grant, do you give Grant Taylor a little love? Because he did have one scoreless inning. He gave up a run. I get it.

Chapter 5: What memorable moments from the game are highlighted?
It doesn't matter. It made it even more dramatic to have that. It made it even more dramatic that Bob Costas called it as well. But that was beautiful. And to hear him after the game, too, he was kind of in awe at first when he was being asked questions. And then he said, I guess, guys, it's all downhill from here.
Yeah, we didn't get to play his comments, actually, in the first segment. Do we have those? We have time to do it right now.
I like the kid.
Yeah, that's how he drew it up. That was... I still don't know what to say. That was unreal.
There were some balls. Matt Olsen hit a couple that kind of fell short of the wall. Yeah. And did you think you got it when you made contact there?
I had no clue. I hit it, and I thought that it would at least get over his head, and so I was excited that at least we didn't lose.
That was, yeah, that was, that left me speechless. That was just surreal. I mean, I couldn't even hear anything. I was, obviously I was told the crowd was pretty loud, but I, yeah, that was, I'll have to, it was a change-up.
Change-up, yeah. Yep, put a good swing on it, and the rest is history.
I heard that it was a very loud clubhouse after that game.

Chapter 6: How does Bob Costas reflect on the significance of the Sandberg game?
That was awesome.
Remember that time?
I couldn't believe it. Did you ever see that guy? Yeah.
You could tell he was, I think, speechless and also still kind of amazed at himself. Yeah. It's one thing to do this in AAA. Quite another to do it at the big league level against one of the best closers in the game.
One of five players to ever in their major league debut hit a game-winning home run.
He likes to slug. He does.
That's what Will Venable said.
I hear liking to slug helps you win ballgames.
Why'd you bunt so much last night, Will? A guy who loves to slug.

Chapter 7: What are the key takeaways from the White Sox's recent performance?
Party time.
It was great. No, no, it was absolutely great. It was right up my alley. I grew up on 80s baseball, so all the stories. Like I said, they were playing the hits. The Tom Seaver 300th win. It's always a good little trivia question. Known, of course, as one of the great New York Mets pitchers of all time. He did get his 300th win at what was Comiskey Park back then.
They were doing the Kirk Gibson thing. Sox Park. That's right. The Sandberg game. So for me, I couldn't help it being warm and fuzzy throughout. I did think, I'm going to give it a nine because it just got a little weird when the game was so good. And then Bob Costas all of a sudden realized he had to really call a game and to start scoring the game.
And he apologized for how, in a fun, playful way, about how disjointed it was. And he was calling for Connor, like, can Connor come out of the bullpen? So it just is a little weird. Little bit weird towards the end, but I still give it a nine.
You know what? Of all the things that were very Mark Grody about the broadcast, it was Bob Costas calling for Connor. It's kind of like you do for Tyler Ferengul. Have we found the cop?
Like, you can't... Like, I don't have power over Tyler, and Bob doesn't have power over Connor. Is that what you're saying? He's just a baby. He is just a baby.
But they're both the mentees. Like, Connor...
Whether they want to be or not.
Yeah, Connor McKnight is now the mentee of Bob Costas.

Chapter 8: How are the Cubs expected to perform in their upcoming series?
All the producers. Because I know the people in the trucks probably were doing a bleep ton of work.
So shout out to them. Yeah, graphics directors especially. You've got a lot of directors. Like the wipes that they were doing from video clip to clip. The diamond wipe and then the star wipe.
Yeah, it's hard.
It's hard work. That sent me. I loved that so much. The details were for me, guys. Thank you for producing a broadcast exclusively for Layla Rahimi.
Number three. It's 500 at 104.3 The Score with Layla Rahimi and Mark Grody.
No more 80s music.
Is there any reason to believe it? You can do it.
Yeah, Cubs, can you do it? Here's a Cubs question for you. Is there any reason to believe the Cubs can bounce back and beat the Rockies over the course of the next two games and actually win a damn series? No.
So they haven't won a series since like early, I think since early May. It's been that long. Like I said, 21 out of 28 games they've lost. That is brutal. You know, the thing is, I think I can't believe I'm saying this. Why do I still have some sort of confidence in this team right now? Am I talking myself out of it?
