How did Ian Happ help the Cubs break their losing streak?
Rahimi Harrison-Grote. Really, really love listening to you guys. You do a phenomenal job.
Middays 10 to 2 on 104.3 The Score. Ian Happ deep down the right field line. Valdez towards the corner. And it's gone! Bumped by Ian Happ. Go ahead, three-run check. 11th of the year, he's driven in five. It's seven of four Cubs. Take that.
What were the highlights of Ian Happ's performance in the game?
That is Alex Cohen on the call, courtesy of Marquee Sports Network. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody. The streak has ended. You may go in peace. Thanks be to God. baseball gods, baby Jesus, Oprah, whoever else, pizza, Pope, anybody you want to include in this. I don't know. I think the Pope is on the sock side for David Sandlin. Yes, you're right.
The Pope might've been taking joy in what the Cubs were doing. Like the white socks broadcasters were doing like John Griffin and Steve stone. They seem to enjoy the Cubs 10 game losing as they should.
And for our 772 texter, the Sox had a pitcher that gave up one hit. How about a one-minute discussion on them? I said it was at 1045. I maintain it is at 1045.
We can't wait to talk about David Sandler.
And that's not the only time we'll talk Sox in the show. Hope that's okay with you.
Wait, it's a four-hour show, right? Yeah.
What impact did Ian Happ's home run have on the game?
No, it's not.
Apparently, it's just 10 seconds over and over and over again.
There's not enough time. We never do anything else. There was a skull thumping last night on the south side. We will get to that. I promise you.
There were skull thumpings everywhere by Chicago teams, and that's my problem. Hello, everybody. Save it for later. But there's, you know, we talked about this ad nauseum back in the day, Mark Brody, the concept of you go, we go.
Dexter Fowler, anyone?
Yes.
How did the Cubs' team dynamics change after the win?
The leadoff batter who also was a part of the Lovable Reunion podcast. I saw a piece of the Justin Grimm, Mike Montgomery one last night, but I didn't get to see it all.
That's so funny. I was out last night for my niece's celebration.
Brody's just out here, man.
He's in the street. I've had a gauntlet of weeknight fun this week, I must say. But yeah, that was on last night, but no sound. I saw Grimmer up there and Ross. It's so good. Highly recommended.
Justin Grimm's Southern accent has gotten real intense.
Oh, has it?
I don't know that it was as Southern.
What challenges has Ian Happ faced during the season?
I think he's a Tennessee guy. I think he's a Tennessee dude.
And I don't know that it was as strong when he was here. And now I'm just like, yo.
He was my first ever Cubs conversation when I was doing the pregame show because I hit it off with Justin Grimm right away. This is going to shock everybody.
No, he's a talkable dude.
He's very silly. Does that surprise you that I somehow find myself going towards his locker? I couldn't understand the pull. Oh, you're ridiculous too, just like me. Let's have you on the pregame show.
That must have been a match made in heaven.
It really was. For some reason, we'd run into each other when we were out. I'd see him in the workout rooms on the road. So, yes, Justin Grimm, friend of the program.
He is, yeah. I think there was a time where he laughed because I had a shoe fall apart in the Cubs clubhouse, like a sandal detached from the heel.
Oh, okay.
How does Ian Happ's performance compare to previous games?
And I was like, shut up, Justin. And I was like, I got these from Target. He's like, my wife loves Target. And I was like, your wife is smart. I'm like, I know you guys have super glue in here somewhere. And they were like, blah, blah, blah. No, if there's one thing I know, there's super glue in a baseball clubhouse.
You got to sew up those blisters, man.
Honestly, that is part of what they do.
I know. Handbrakes open. It's either that or the Moises Alou treatment. Number one, a urination.
Oh, how did I not know about that?
Yeah, that happened. I didn't know that either. Oh, kids, gather around. Gather around. No, no kids. Don't come around for this one.
What does the future hold for Ian Happ with the Cubs?
Is this like the lie about don't pee on jellyfish stings, by the way?
That has been debunked many times by doctors. Why did Mitch just come running in here? Is this something I said, Mitch?
Dump it. Dump it.
Dump it.
The number one, he called it. That's more offensive, actually.
