This hour is sponsored by Riverfront, Chrysler Jeep, Dodge Ram. 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. Chicago Cubs baseball is on the air from Wrigley Field in Chicago. It's opening day as the Cubs take on the Washington Nationals. And now the 1-2 to House. Swing and a miss. One, two, three for Matthew Boyd. Nationals don't score after a half. To your point, and Jed's point, they wondered about him at third last year.
That one lifted in the air left field, and Weimer will touch a ball. The high fly ball to left, and Weimer has given the Nationals a 1-0 lead. There comes the 0-2. Fly ball left center field should be deep enough. Coming in and that's a base hit. Falling in front of a diving wood. Scoring on the play is Dansby Swanson. Ball game tied. It's a base hit for Bush. He'd agreed to that long-term, very lucrative contract extension earlier this week. He hits a ground ball into right field, a base hit. Rounding third and heading home is Michael Bush. He will score the throw to third, and out there is going to be Alex Bregman. Fly ball, right field, going back at Fordow near the wall, and it's gone. And House will go back to touch first base, but he'll touch them all now.
It's a two-run homer, and here in the ninth, the Nats extend their lead 10-4. It's a swing and a miss, strike three, and this ballgame is over. A very disappointing opening day for the Chicago Cubs as the Washington Nationals win by a score of 10-4. I'm okay. No, I'm not. I'm so sorry to do this to you. I'm so sorry. But if you're the person who says, hey, it's only April. It's only one game. You guys go crazy after a game. Yeah, we see them all the same and they all add up the same. And then the next thing you know, that one game in April that we were so casual about that you didn't want us to necessarily address for your own personal reasons. becomes a real big issue when you're trying to figure out seating and whether or not you get a home wildcard series, for example, or a divisional.
So they all count to me the same, even though they're 162, and I'm okay and I'm not okay at the same time. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score. There was good yesterday in the Pekra Armstrong announcement being official. Pekra Armstrong will join our show. You don't want to miss it at 145 today. We'll carry his press conference at 1. And then additionally, we get the news about Nico. But it was all after watching the Cubs lose a game that I don't think either one of us, Marshall, thought they would lose to the Washington Nationals for opening day.
The Nationals are not good.
There's that.
The Nationals have low expectations.
Scientific explanation is key here.
The Nationals are not expected to compete for the National League East division title. There's that as well. Then there are the Cubs. And the Cubs are predicted by just about everyone to win this division, despite the fact that they have not been winning this division, and despite the fact that the Milwaukee Brewers are out here winning. with always something brewing, whether they have lost their ace, Freddy Peralta, or not. And we'll get to the Brewers and their decisive win over the White Sox momentarily.
They scored two touchdowns. We'll talk about that coming up at 1045.
But what I'm saying is... This was a disappointing start of the season, and I know it is just one game out of 162, but I think you can acknowledge that this is very much a disappointing way to start the season because it leads off a schedule that, from the outside looking in, is a soft schedule compared to what we saw a year ago when they were starting overseas against a Dodgers team that would go on to repeat as World Series champions. That's a very...
