This hour is brought to you by Menards. Save big money at Menards. Rahimi Harrison-Grody. 10-2 on 104.3 The Score.
Let's go back in time, shall we? In honor of PCA getting money and his birthday tomorrow. We were at Gallagher Way and we took calls. And the calls were very plentiful. They even went into our top of the hour because people were on one. They wanted to talk about the Cubs and had all sorts of stuff to say. And that's when we came across Carl. Carl in Antioch. Carl, you're on The Score. Peanut, I need you to get on me. Stop playing the garbage. We'll develop the character. I feel like you're getting a little better. So Robbie could not stop laughing at this. And Tyler, was it you who helped decode it for us?
Yeah, so I was actually back here getting ready for Cubs when this happened. And we were both dying laughing, just trying to figure out what that was. And I said, it sounded like Lois Griffin. And he's like, oh, my God, I think you're right. That's totally Lois Griffin. And we played it back for ourselves about five to ten more times. just to make sure that's what he was going for. All right, Peter, I'm going to kill Stewie. Dinner's in the oven. All you have to do is turn it to 350 at about 550. Peter! Stop swinging a goblin! Peter! Stop swinging a goblin! Yeah, in real time, when that call came in, I told you guys to move on from that call because I just didn't understand what it was. We don't know if this guy's messing with us.
I knew it was something hilarious, but I couldn't figure it out.
So we all spent way too much time thinking about it after the fact.
He messes with me. I mess with him.
Like it stayed with us for a while. Very much rent free. We all think we all gave it a lot of thought. And I wish that I could tell you we've moved on, but we have not.
We can't move on till we do.
Well, PCA deserved to get paid and he got paid.
But let's hope he doesn't swing at garbage. It's still a valid question. What have you done?
What are the expectations for the Cubs in the 2026 season?
Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, Mark Grody. Middays 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio 104.3 The Score.
I would like to further take this time to reiterate, rent free. Peter, stop swinging a garbage. That just goes to show you there's one lesson you learned from today. Shoot or shoot. It's not what you say sometimes. It's how you say it. And even though that wasn't the best impression of Lois Griffin, indeed, it got the job done and remains true. Stop swinging a garbage. All of you. Happy baseball season.
It's a universal theme. It's happy baseball season. Yankees, Giants. Yeah, I'm talking to you very specifically because you're the only ones on there.
But also... It's always baseball season for the Yankees.
Happy 24th birthday to Pete Crow Armstrong. Bruh. You ain't old enough to rent a car without paying the extra surcharge. But with that $5 million signing bonus, I don't know, you can just buy a car every time you get to a new town and you need a car. That's what you can do.
Pete Crowe Armstrong reportedly six years, $115 million extension. We now have the financials, or at least the reported ones when it comes to what his price will be for his extension. And... This is significant for many reasons. Marshall, you were not here. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score. But part of it that is significant, and Jeff Passan did a good job of talking about this, the ESPN reporter, it's not just the six years and the 115. Deal starts in 2027. This is according to Jeff Passan as well. Does not include a club option, allowing P.C. Armstrong to hit free agency before his age 31 season. But here's where the significance of the years and how they time out make a difference. The lack of a club option in P. Cor Armstrong's deal with the Cubs is rare.
This is by far the biggest guarantee for a player with five years of club control. That does not include an option. Cubs were still fine with it. They get a high floor player with a superstar ceiling. For the Cubs, the calculus was simple. They buy the four years of Crow Armstrong in arbitration and get two free agent years.
