Will the Cubs' offense finally break out in Colorado?
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. The National Football League asked players who they believe should be ranked the number one player in the league. The number one on the list this year. The number one player in the NFL is... Probably Matt. Number nine, Matthew Stafford. Dijon Robertson. God willing, I would say me. Just humbly. Really? Yeah. Oh, wow. JSN's probably up there.
What challenges are the Cubs facing against the Rockies?
Yeah. CMC. Not just because he's my locker bud and he watched me do the list. Yeah, Iceman. Micah Parsons says, we think, we got him on record. Caleb Williams is the best player in the National Football League. We got you, Micah Parsons. You can't take that back. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Yes, that record stands. First reactions, I'm suspicious. I find that a little suspicious. No, should I? What's he trying to do here? Yeah, is he like, oh yeah, he's the greatest. Just ask him. I'm suspicious. Why did you, you could have said anyone was the best player in the NFL. You think he's just messing with reverse psychology sort of sitch? I don't know. Reverse psychology is an awesome tool. I don't know if you guys know about it, but basically you make someone think the opposite of what you believe, and that tricks them into doing something stupid.
Works like a charm. Do I ask Ben Johnson about it? You have to ask Ben Johnson about it. Mandatory minicamp. He's going to – I don't know if I can – Yeah, after you've already asked about elite quarterback, top five quarterback, is that – Right. I did that last week. And he gave a really good answer to that question, by the way. He did. But I know you're right. I understand he probably didn't like the question because he doesn't do that stuff. No. I love Tyson. Layla Rahimi. Marshall Harris. Mark Grody. Midday's 10 a.m. to 2 on Chicago Sports Radio. 104.3 The Score.
Good Tuesday morning today to you. This is Rahimi Harrison-Grody on 104.3 The Score. We love the I Love Tyson soundbite. We can't get enough of it. Mandatory minicamp for the Bears. Don't forget Mark Grody will join us from Halasol at 1 o'clock. In the meantime, we have to figure out what the Cubs are going to do with, quote, the easy part of their schedule. Here's the problem, Marshalls. I feel like the Cubs have now become the easy part of the schedule for other teams. Sea Giants, Astros, this is frustrating, A's. I know the comeback win notwithstanding. But, okay, you're facing a bad Colorado Rockies team. But how bad is it... that we don't necessarily know if this is going to be the wake-up call for this series in Colorado, no less, where you should get at least a few doubles to your name, if not a home run or two, for this team to get right.
What does it take for this team to get right today?
Laila, it's not easy for a player to win the National League Player of the Week, correct?
How important is the upcoming series for the Cubs' season?
Because that means you have to be the best player in an entire league. You have to be the best player on 15 teams for an entire week.
Not just any 15 teams. The best 15 teams.
There is a reason they call it the Senior Circuit. That certainly applies to this season. And so when I look at what Pete Crow Armstrong was able to do last week... and had the best week, arguably, of his career. And you could only come up with two wins in six games against two teams under .500, one of them having the second-worst record in what you just said was a secondary league in the National League compared to the American League. When you only get two wins, and the reason you got two wins is because PCA went all the way off... It gives me a lot of concern about what's next. Remember, June is that month. June is the month in which they face 22 straight games against teams with losing records.
June is that month in which, after dealing with an athletics team that, to be fair, is in the hunt in the American League West.
