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.
They're a long-term build type of team who's going through injuries.
The point is, it's even more up for grabs now as far as teams that may think they're in it. The time that passes. And the Cubs are on the outside looking in. This is the first time all season they've lost five in a row. But it's not just that they've lost five in a row. It's who they lost to and how they lost those games in terms of the last series against the team that's now a game and a half ahead of them in the standings. And I know some people say it's too early to even look at the standings, but you have to pay attention to what's going on around you. And the one-two. Happ hits a pop fly into shallow right. The first baseman, Walker, backing up, makes the catch on the outfield grass. And the ball game is over, and the Cubs have lost six in a row.
Houston wins the opener of this series, 4-2 the final.
You know, we've struggled as a team for two weeks here, and that's while frustrating, it's still two weeks, you know. We're going to come out of this. It's going to be fine. We're a good baseball team. It's all going to happen. But while you've got to go through it, you've got to sit in some discomfort with it. Line drive, left field. Matthews is there. And that's the ball game. Cubs have dropped seven in a row.
Bregman hits a looper into shallow right. Smith comes in, makes the catch. And the Houston Astros have swept the three-game series. The Cubs have lost eight in a row. The final today, Houston eight. Cubs five. The pitch, bouncing ball to second base, fielded by Lau, the throw to first, ball again, over. And the Pirates win game one by a score of 2-1. The Cubs have lost nine in a row. The Pirates start to celebrate. This is the worst. You are the worst. I hate looking at your face. I want to smash it.
Leila Rahimi. Marshall Harris. Mark Grody. Midday's 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio. 104.3 The Score.
So what you're saying is the Cubs' nine-game losing streak is Toby on the office. And we are Michael Scott. It's that bad. Yeah, but unlike Toby, I don't know that the Cubs' nine-game losing streak can move to Costa Rica. Nine times. Just temporarily, of course. My friends call me Shauna. Shauna. It's one of my favorite parts of Ferris Bueller. This is a Tuesday, your post-Memorial Day Tuesday. We thank those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country. I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score. Mark Grody and Layla Rahimi in with you today. I don't know what was more frustrating about this game that we watched yesterday between the Cubs and the Pirates.
I was like, oh, okay, Majinski's on the mound. I have no idea how to say or spell his last name, Carmen, for the Pirates. But I was like, I feel like they hit him pretty well.
How are the Cubs responding to their nine-game losing streak?
Then he mows down the first time through the order, and I'm like... Because typically, you know how this is, Mark. You and I have both traveled with baseball teams. We've both covered teams. And when you get swept at home by not just the Brewers, but the Astros, too, who not only got so right when they saw you that they got the sweep, they then capped it off with the first no-hitter in baseball since 2024 yesterday. That part. And you know who had the one before that was the Cubs as a team no-hitter. So there's that side of it. When you get swept out of your own town, you're looking forward to the road trip, especially facing a team who you know you can play well. Pittsburgh's a beautiful ballpark on a holiday day.
That's an atmosphere to enjoy. And then you see what happens. Unfortunately, hitting-wise, they just pick up where they left off. And now instead of talking about an eight-game losing streak, we're talking about a nine-gamer.
