Chapter 1: What are the initial thoughts on the Cubs' performance?
This hour is sponsored by Wintrust.
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 Harrison-Grody. 10-2 on 104.3 The Score.
If the Cubs sweep this series, will you, Marshall, Layla, Butte, and Ray, will you all join me in predicting that the Cubs will win the division and everybody else can just sit back? I think this is the part of the show where I quickly get the train back on the track. Can we get back on track here? So you're saying no, you will not join me. No.
No. Because... Because no.
No, I will calmly tell you, hey, Mark, hey, Mark, it's too soon. Remember how you kept saying it's early? It's too early for all of that. I can picture you hugging me in the hallway, Mark. Mark, patting my head. You can't do this again, man. Why the hell do you do this to yourself, Riggs?
Well, how else could I do it to him? None of them will let me.
Riggs had the best offense in baseball.

Chapter 2: What happened during the Cubs vs. Braves game?
I would ruffle up like a peacock if I were, I would be showing the tail if I were the Cubs after that.
I am a peacock. You've got to let me fly. 3-2. Hit in the air. Deep left field. This ball's got a chance. Gone. Home run. Alex Bregman.
Ball game tied 1-1. Here's the pitch. And a high fly ball into deep left field. Hap goes back at the track near the wall. Looks up. Tie ball game.
The 3-2. Yastrzemski. It's a high fly ball deep right. Suzuki goes back at the track near the wall. Looks up. Braves lead.
And the 1-2. Hit in the air to center. Backing up is Harris near the track with room. Makes the catch.
Well, that era ended quickly.
Layla Rahimi. Marshall Harris. Mark Grody. Middays 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio. 104.3 The Score.
Not ideal in game one, but one team on the other side of town just keeps it moving. Cubs fall to the Braves 5-2. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 the score. And the White Sox come back and take game one against the Kansas City Royals. We are Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, and Mark Grody with you today. And we start, unfortunately, with...
Two of what we thought were going to be the best teams in baseball when they squared off. The records say they are. The numbers say they are. But that Braves offense kept it moving. And even though it was a bit of a bullpen day for Atlanta, that didn't stop the Cubs offense from just absolutely stalling yet again. Only one hit in the entire game for the Cubs. And they fall by a final of 5-2.

Chapter 3: How did the White Sox perform in their recent game?
This will be the game in the series that they win. Shota Imanaga pitches tonight. It's fine. I think the issue is understanding that, as we talked about yesterday going into this series, this has been the best team in baseball. They have been the most consistent team in baseball. Again, when you lead the league, the major leagues in not only runs, but also in ERA.
It's not like, hey, we knock around the starter, get to the bullpen. The bullpen's good, too. They're just good from top to bottom. You're going to have to bring your A game, and I feel like the Cubs are just in a season, within a season, in which they do not have their A game available to them offensively. Yeah, and I hate, too, the way Colin Ray, he's been so good relative to
what they expect from him. He's been bonus pitcher. But I am at the point, because of the injuries to the Cubs starting staff, I'm at the point now where I expect Colin Ray to pitch well. So I was not pleased watching Colin Ray. Against that lineup, though? I know. Hey, man. The bar has raised. I think the Cubs are a really good team. I think Colin Ray's a really good...
I don't want to say pitcher on the overall. He's a really good fifth starter. He is a really good fifth starter, but I have come to depend on him. And I get it. I understand he's essentially a fill-in in the rotation, but he did give up the five runs, a four-run fifth inning for Atlanta, Austin Riley, and Mike Yastrzemski with a home run last night against him.
That was Yastrzemski's first of the year. He was due. Also, it's in the blood. It is Yaz. How many Yaz's? Was there another Yaz or is Mike Yastrzemski? He's the one that's always been there. So he's like older, right? Yeah, he is. He was on the Giants too.
Been around a long time.
The Sacramento Rivercats before they had a big league team. Oh, I didn't know we went deep on Mike Yastrzemski.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of the Cubs' current slump?
Yeah, I can talk to you about Mike Yastrzemski. Oh, that's great. What else you got? Well, there's that whole being related to Yaz thing. Oh, yeah. And you can't not think about Hawk Harrelson when you think about Yaz because nobody referenced Yaz, the original Yaz, more than Hawk Harrelson did. And maybe still does in his beautiful home in Florida. Yeah.
I look at this series, though, and I don't want people to freak out. Maybe I'm... overestimating the level of freak out that could be available. Calm down, Marshall. No, I just don't. What you don't do is tell people to calm down. That's like saying, hey, Layla, don't look over there. Your instinct is to look the way I told you not to look.
Yeah, the phrase, like, don't look at the dead body in the corner. Yeah.
No, I'm being ironic. What dead body in the corner?
You're not. You are. Marshall is calm. He's always calm. And so, no, I'm not. No, I'm here to tell you, no, I'm not. That's true. Brody is just throwing things out there.
He is. I'm just testing stuff right now. That one's not sticking on the wall.
I'm feeling out the show, you know? But I'll say today is a true get-right because unlike when you have Colin Ray on the mound, who you didn't start the season thinking he was going to be getting all the starts, you do have a legitimate person on the mound tonight that's supposed to be a stopper, and that means throwing zeros.
You've got to throw zeros when your offense is out here struggling to scrape together runs. Well, the bottom line, too, is it's like I said, on a team like this and yeah, payroll comes to mind for me. You just don't want the entire offense to destruct like this in each game. They shouldn't all act like a single hitter. And I feel like that has been the case for a while.
Anecdotally with this Cubs team. where theoretically, if one guy's down, you at least want somebody else to be up. But, you know, like we're still waiting, for example, to try to figure out who PCA is as a hitter after that first half of the season. We're trying to see the slow improvement to finally come back to some sort of who he's actually going to be now that the league adjusted to him.

Chapter 5: What memorable moments are highlighted in the game recap?
And the crowd, like it was a moment, like as great as the Derek Hill Homer was in the subsequent defensive play that he'll made, uh, And then he catches the last ball of the game, too. It was perfect for Derek Hill. That moment, like the Maidroth moment, the improbability of it was terrific. So I got to go Maidroth as well.
Number three. ESPN. First of all, this is 500-1043. The score with Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, and Mark Grody.
Chapter 6: What are the implications of Daryl Morey's departure from the 76ers?
Here's question number three. ESPN's Sham Sharani reported yesterday that Daryl Morey is out as president of basketball operations with the Philadelphia 76ers after six seasons. Sham's also reported that four-time NBA champion architect Bob Myers.
The president of sports for Harris Blitzer Sports and Entertainment will be tasked to lead the search for the new head executive for the 76ers, and he will oversee the franchise's basketball department in the interim. On a scale of 1 to 10 on the newly created eyebrow-raising meter trademark,
Chapter 7: How does Bob Myers' new role affect the NBA landscape?
Where do you rank the idea that Bob Myers was available to offer his services to an NBA team that may have been conducting a search for a new front office executive?
Who also still has its head coach employed by the team, you say? Wow. I thought that that scenario wouldn't have a Bob Myers involved. I didn't know Bob Myers was available. This is of no shade to Bryce and Graham. I don't know. You have to hire a search firm. And the Bulls, as I understand, worked with ZRG Turnkey, who has a good reputation.
Chapter 8: What insights are shared about the Bears' center position competition?
But what was one of the names where we were like, Bob Myers, Bob Myers, Bob Myers, Bob Myers, Bob Myers. I know Marshall feels this because Warriors, obviously. And we're like, Bob's not coming through that door. I told you he's in a better place. What is this then? I'm sorry. I am gesturing with my hand like I am my father right now. Ray, do me a favor real quick.
Can you give me Bob Myers title one more time?
Yes, Bob Myers is the president of sports for Harris Blitzer Sports and Entertainment.
But what is the other part of the Shams report? He will oversee the franchise's basketball department in the interim. I'm sorry. One more time, because I want to make sure people understand this.
Bob Myers is the president of sports for Harris Blitzer Sports and Entertainment.
If he finds somebody who's like Bob Myers or the next Bob Myers because he's Bob Myers, then I'm going to keep an eye on this. so you feel me what's your number on the eyebrows raise meter nine and a half because i definitely raised my eyebrows because i was like wait a second what is he doing here okay how is he involved in all of this he's doing what now This is the number, Ray.
If I put up, is that? Oh, I'm looking at double zeros. It's double zeros.
Your eyebrows didn't raise at all, Marshall Harris.
Again, one more time, Ray. What is the man's title?
