The current NFL work stoppage is effecting many facets of the league. But when it comes directly to football activities, the loss of organized team activities may be the hurting the rookies the most.
Here's a look at Chicago's 2011 baseball season by the numbers, on both sides of town.
It's time for the Sox to live up to their marketing slogan. The usual crutch of Interleague Play has netted them a 7-6 record thus far, and a grueling 19-game stretch inside the A.L. Central is on the horizon.
This wasn't the Superbowl. It wasn't a playoff game. It wasn't even a division rival. It was just a regular season game from seven months ago.
The boos are getting louder for Adam Dunn. Things are so bad that on Saturday when Dunn drew a walk, he got a standing ovation from the U.S. Cellular crowd. That's rough, but justified.

Tuesday night marked the first time that the Bulls have lost three games in a row all year. It was a "back against the wall" game and the Bulls failed. It wasn't because of a lack of effort or a lack of heart. Miami's talent/size combination has been too much to overcome.
I did some checking over the last couple of days and there could be some serious collateral damage if the NFL labor situation doesn't get resolved by the time training camp rolls around.
Miami won Game 3 just like they won Game 2: with fantastic defense. Their on the ball pressure was excellent. They rotated very well and contested most of the Bulls shots.

It was good to see the Bulls play up to their potential and not down to their competition last night. Their 93-73 win over the Hawks was domination from start 'til finish.
After 36 games, the White Sox finally have won three in-a-row. The Sox started hitting early and got a three-nothing lead. If you think the issues with the offense don't affect pitchers then take a look at this quote from last night's winner Edwin Jackson.
Derrick Rose can't do it all on his own (even though it sometimes seems he can). Other Bulls have to score. I'm looking at you Kyle Korver.
