Layla Rahimi, Marshall Harris, Mark Grody, Rahimi, Harrison, Grody on 104.3 The Score. Swing and a miss.
And you talk about a heartbreaking loss. This one is tough as they come. outs away from a no-hitter and a win. The Cardinals see the Brewers score two in the eighth. They win it 2-1. They sweep the series, and the Cardinals now four and a half back in the Central.
That call is courtesy of Cardinals Television, and goodness knows we know what that's like. The Brewers just sweeping the rivals, both the Cubs and the Cardinals recently. We go to our hotline, and that is where we are joined by a friend of the show and somebody who taught me a lot about baseball. He's a young sideline reporter, 14-year Major League veteran.
Chapter 2: How does Mark Sweeney assess the Cubs' recent struggles?
He is pre- and post-game analyst for Cardinals TV, Mark Sweeney. Mark, how are you?
I'm doing great, Layla. Good to hear from you, and thanks for having me on.
And I am to understand that that Gavin is graduating from something today. He's not that old.
We're not that old. No, it's only eighth grade, but we still have to make it a big deal. Yes, he's going to high school and I'm sorry, but we have to get dressed up and it's an occasion, I guess.
Well, congratulations to Gavin. And I refuse to believe he's that old because that means we're older and I'm not OK with it.
I know. I agree. It doesn't make it easier on us, for sure.
Just so you know, I have been to back-to-back Wednesday 8th grade graduations, and you're right. You've got to do the little song and dance. Everybody's wearing their gowns. We've got to go out to dinner. We've got to watch them walk across the stage. Everybody gets a trophy.
Mark, it's amazing. It's a different world out there, and yes, we have to get dressed up. We call it a promotion out here in California, not
I love that. I love that.

Chapter 3: What factors contribute to the rivalry between the Cubs and Cardinals?
Well, yeah, there's a Jordan Davis concert tonight, and part of our charity Radiothon last week, Mark, was to sell tickets that are possibly front row and behind the Cubs dugout. So you might see some Cubby Blue dotted in in important places on TV this evening.
They always show up at Cardinals. My first experience when I was a Cardinal player as a rookie was the first game I was against the Chicago Cubs. That was my first game. I looked up playing first base and I saw 50,000 people in the old Bush Stadium. I know I'm aging myself, but it ramps up. Who started? It was Mike Morgan for us. I think it was I think it was Jim Bollinger.
Oh, my. Home run hitter, too, by the way, Jim Bollinger of the Cubs.
I'm aging myself, Mark. I know that, but I'll tell you what. There's nothing better than that atmosphere because you just understand it's a different way of playing baseball when you have a rivalry like this.
Sweens, you are timeless, and we appreciate the time every time.
Well, thank you very much. I appreciate you guys having me, and it's going to be an exciting series. I know the Cubs won the last two games, so you can put that 10-game slide away from them. That's right. This is going to be a nice battle.
It will be a very fun weekend for sure, Mark Sweeney. Thank you for taking the time, and congratulations again to Gavin.
Appreciate it, guys. It's all about the promotion, so let's get that going. Amen, brother. I'll lend that to my son today. Thanks.
Thank you. That is Mark Sweeney. He is at SweenDog9 on X, the Cardinals TV pregame and postgame analyst, a former colleague of mine, and the 14-year Major League veteran. We're going to talk White Sox, by the way. Scott Merkin is joining us at 1225. We got him in five on it as well. We're very excited about that. It was also a big day at Hallas Hall.
