Chicago sports fans had a blast watching the Bulls playoff run this year, but they didn’t enjoy it as much as the Cubs and White Sox. With the Bulls having done so well, all of the city's attention was on them and taken off of the lousy start for both baseball teams.

After a heart-breaking Eastern Conference Finals series defeat the the Heat, the Bulls are anxiously awaiting their chance at revenge against Miami when the NBA resumes play in three or four years from its impending labor stoppage this summer.

In each of the Bulls' last three losses to Miami, LeBron James has taken control down the stretch, hitting big shots to ice a late victory. That's not going to happen tonight, according to Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau, who has ordered injured 12th man Brian Scalabrine to handcuff himself to the Heat superstar before Game 5 at the United Center.

Jim Hendry is tired of watching Alfonso Soriano butcher every ball that’s hit to him. To solve this problem, the Cubs GM has decided to plant a giant oak tree in left field, a move that many are already touting as the best he’s made in his career.

"We all thought the guy made a deal with the devil when he signed with the Heat," said TNT analyst and NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley. "But now it turns out he actually is the devil. That's just turrible."

"Normally we do it for free, you know, with baseball players and other rich guys," said Cohen. "But I decided to break the Wrigleyville Waitress Code and actually get paid to take off my clothes."
