What $1 bet kicks off the Cubs vs White Sox debate and why does schedule difficulty matter?
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, Harris, and Grody. 10 to 2 on 104.3 The Score.
Care to place a wager?
Can we make a $1 wager today that the White Sox will have a better record than the Cubs when the season is over? I don't know if I want to take it that far. Yeah, I didn't think you would. That's why I said it. But it just shows you the difference in expectations for the ball clubs. They've been close to the same record a lot of the year. But because relative to what the White Sox have done and what the expectations are for the Cubs, it's felt like the sky is falling for the Cubs while the White Sox are like, yay! The Cubs have the fifth most difficult schedule remaining, only behind, well, this shouldn't shock you, the Reds, the Mets, the Pirates, and the Cardinals. You see the common thread there?
I see very well, Mr. Marshall. Before you make the bet, the bet has not been made yet. The White Sox have the 29th most difficult schedule going forward. I just want to point that out. Why are you trying to talk me out of this bet? Because I just want to make sure you know all the facts. Are you afraid? Hey, quick question.
Yeah?
Are you scared? Never. About what? I'm not afraid. I don't want you to say I stole money from you. That's all. Oh! Oh! What the hell is wrong with you?
You stole my money!
You're still willing to make the bet, even though the White Sox, their opponents from here on out, a 484%? I appreciate you giving me the out. I like the way you laid it down. I will make that bet with you. Okay, so you're saying, Grody, the Cubs will have a better regular season record. That is correct, than the Chicago White Sox. All right, I'm putting it down on the show document.
It's legal now. $1 bet initiated.
I got money in the bank. I do Zell, just so you know. Layla Rahimi. Marshall Harris. Mark Grody. Middays, 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio 104.3. The Score. The Score.
Love a little money in the bank to start our Tuesday. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score. It is hot outside. Stay inside with us in the shade. Drink your water. A ton of it today. Hydrate. And in the meantime, watch some baseball because after what we saw last night, Good things abound from both teams. We'll kick it off starting with the Cubs and Sox in this hour. And we start with a yet another. Stop me when you've heard this before. Mark Grady, Marshall Harris, you the listener. The Cubs have walked it off. It is now 10 walk-offs after the 3-2 win, the final. And, man, I was on the phone with Ray because I missed yesterday. As I mentioned, I was at the service for Stacey King. And I was talking to Ray on the phone, and I saw Adrian Morajon come in from San Diego.
And I was like, oh, no. This is over. No, it wasn't. Despite seeing the combination of Morohan and Adam, it was not over. And then that Padres bullpen that we know can shut them down. We saw good at bats. And even though they went one for 10 with runners in scoring position in their first eight innings, they're able to plate just enough runners despite a bad send. Say Suzuki also with a really encouraging at bat off of Miller to get the job done.
The Cubs did what they have to do in these dire times and kind of lost in the shuffle because of the way the game ended and progressed. Obviously, the big highlight is the fact that Seiya Suzuki almost hit a home run off of Mason Miller. Good enough for a walk-off. But if you go back to the beginning of this game and the understanding that Shota Imanaga weaved his way in and out of trouble, giving up nine hits over six and a third, and got his first quality start in over a month. I think that's the headline here for me because, look, at the end of the day, Mark Grody's going to be like, but is it sustainable?
