Layla Rahimi 0:00

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.

Mark Grote 0:24

You are a better team than the Pittsburgh Pirates, who are a better team this year at 53-50. They are 11.5 games out in the division. You must take care of business. Matthew Boyd, as I said, he's won four straight starts. He's been really good. Goes up against Jared Jones, who actually has been really good lately as well. But yes, this is all about taking care of business and no excuses to not take care of business.

Layla Rahimi 0:49

He drives one in the air to right field. Did he get it? How's that for a flight? Going back as Valdez at the wall. Gone for a home run.

Mark Grote 0:57

He's ahead 0-1.

Layla Rahimi 0:59

Line drive right field. Suzuki there. He's got it.

How did the Cubs perform in the Pittsburgh series and what were the game highlights?

Layla Rahimi 1:03

And that's the ball game. Cubs win. Hallowell closes it out. And the Cubs victorious in 10-3-2, the final.

Vinny Rotino 1:14

And when you consider that the Pirates are going to be faced with Paul Skeens on the other side, you were lucky you didn't get to see Scooble, but your offense had better come to the party here over this next three games and give your pitchers some run support.

Mark Grote 1:27

2-2 the count. The pitch. Carl Armstrong drills one in the power alley in right. Mangum looks up. One hops the wall. Swanson around third. He's coming home. Carl Armstrong slides safely into second base. RBI double. Cubs strike first.

Layla Rahimi 1:45

The other way, fair ball base hit. That's going to score them both.

Mark Grote 1:54

Say a two-run single as PCA comes in, and it's 3-0. Most of those say Coomer on the back. Here's a fastball strike three. Oh, the ball game is over. And the Cubs have clobbered the Buccos by a score of 11-0.

Vinny Rotino 2:06

Guys do love to hit a home run there. You know, a home team loves to play there. Away teams love to play there.

Mark Grote 2:12

With one away, the pitch. Driven to deep right center. Back toward the wall is Pete Perl Armstrong. That is a grand slam. Swag and a best strike for it. All in effort. Down 7-1. End up losing by one. Pirates 8-7. Let's go.

Layla Rahimi 2:35

Leila Rahimi. Marshall Harris. Mark Grody. Middays 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio. 104.3 The Score.

Vinny Rotino 2:46

What a montage that was. A mashup of the series in Pittsburgh where the Cubs took two of three nice showings on Friday and Saturday. This is Rahimi Harrison-Roddy on 104.3 The Score. We thank you for joining us on this Monday. And as Mark Roddy called it, Eve of Bears.

Mark Grote 3:05

Bears Eve is here!

Vinny Rotino 3:07

What happened to Saturday? There were some Bears on Saturday.

Mark Grote 3:10

Some Bears. The power people are talking tomorrow. Ryan Poles and Ben Johnson. And we'll find out who else probably tomorrow afternoon. And then I will be on the sidelines at Bears headquarters on Wednesday watching a training camp practice for the better part of two hours. So that is something for all of us to look forward to. Bears.

Vinny Rotino 3:34

Eve of bears. Eve of bears. Eve of bears.

Pete Crow-Armstrong 3:39

Bears.

Vinny Rotino 3:40

Also, whoever rides the riding lawnmower at Hallis Hall, please get the lawnmower ready. Lawnmower.

Unknown 3:47

Lawnmower. Lawnmower.

Vinny Rotino 3:50

Because every time Mark does a bears hit. It's there.

Mark Grote 3:54

I think this year I'm going to get rolled up on by a golf cart or what they have out there is the long golf carts that they transport multiple players on because they move the players from Hallis Hall to the backfields of Hallis Hall. You know, like when you go to Lincoln Park Zoo or to Brookfield Zoo and And you see those trains, like the zebra trains, spinning up and down and all around throughout the zoo. That's what it reminds me about at Hallis Hall. I think that I am going to be interrupted by that this year.

Vinny Rotino 4:26

Very exciting. Yes.

Mark Grote 4:27

I want to go to the zoo now.

Vinny Rotino 4:28

Yeah, see? Yeah, honestly, I've got to get to the shed still. I haven't done that.

Mark Grote 4:32

Parth was at Lincoln Park Zoo.

Vinny Rotino 4:34

And I've lived here 10 years.

Mark Grote 4:35

Yeah. When you go to the zoo, before we really get into what we're talking about today, what exhibit must Layla Rahimi see to fulfill her as a zoo goer?
