The Chicago Bears offence has been built around one specific trademark: Size. Last year, the "Monsters of the Midway;" Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffery and Martellus Bennett, combined to haul in 254 passes from quarterbacks Jay Cutler and Josh McCown. The Bears wide receiver core features Marshall, 6-5, and Jeffrey, 6-3, along with Super Bowl XLIII MVP Santonio Holmes. At tight end, Bennett measures as the tallest of the pass-catchers at six-foot-six. Cutler, entering his second year in head coach Marc Trestmans system, is grateful to have the added benefit of receivers who can dwarf defensive backs. "It makes it easy," Cutler told the teams website in training camp. "You kind of just hang balls up there for those guys and they make the play. They all do a really good job of finding the ball in the air and knowing when the back-shoulder [throw] is coming. Weve just got to keep everyone healthy." In 2013, Marshall, Jeffrey and Bennett were all able to stay healthy and play in all 16 of teams regular season games. Cutler, however, was not. The 31-year-old missed five games with an ankle injury, causing a minor quarterback controversy between himself and McCown. However, Trestman made it clear that, when healthy, Cutler was the starter and McCown signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the offseason. Now, facing little competition from backups Jimmy Clausen and David Fales, Cutler is free to think solely on Trestmans offence and improving on last years 8-8 record. After signing Holmes during training camp, the Bears added a new element to their offence; a prototypical slot receiver. Holmes was signed after projected No. 3 receiver Marquess Wilson fractured his collarbone during a practice session. At 6-4, 184 pounds, Wilson fit the Bears mold at receiver, but not the typical look of a slot receiver. Holmes, five-foot-11, caught 23 passes for 456 yards in 11 games last season with the New York Jets in 2013 and could eclipse those numbers with the Bears as defences key in on Marshall and Jeffery. If Cutler can stay healthy, the Monsters of the Midway should be ready for another strong season, after both Marshall and Jeffrey eclipsed 1,000 yards last season. Notes: Depth not their Forte: Behind running back Matt Forte, Bears have no running backs that touched the ball for the team last year. Fourth-round pick KaDeem Carey, veteran Shaun Draughn, undrafted free-agent Senorise Perry and former college quarterback Jordan Lynch are set to backup Forte this season. Should Forte be injured, the Bears will be forced to employ one as the feature back. Defensive Questions: The Bears defence gave up 29.9 point per game last season, second-worst in the NFL. However, the team decided against firing defensive coordinator Mel Tucker, who has promised to implement a new defensive system this year. To help Tucker, the Bears signed defensive end Jared Allen and drafted cornerback Kyle Fuller along with defensive tackles Ego Ferguson and Will Sutton with their first three draft picks in an attempt to improve the defence. The team will also start the year with linebackers Lance Briggs and D.J. Williams healthy, as well as cornerback Charles Tillman after all three missed significant time in 2013.

Louis Cardinals are one of Major League Baseballs model franchises.CHICAGO - When the Chicago White Sox scheduled Greek Heritage Night for Tuesday, they probably didnt consider that Mike Moustakas would be in the visiting dugout. Moustakas put a capper on the festivities by homering twice to help the Kansas City Royals snap a four-game losing streak with a 7-1 rout. Afterward, Moustakas was asked if he was aware of the promotion. "Oh, I knew," he said. "I was telling everybody that today was my day. It just ended up working out that way." Moustakas, who has 12 homers this season, went 3 for 5 with three RBIs. He raised his batting average to .198 The Royals entered the game with a major league-worst 55 homers and had managed a total of six runs during the losing streak. "Hes starting to swing the bat pretty good," manager Ned Yost said of Moustakas. "Weve seen him in spurts, it doesnt matter whos pitching. When hes right, hes putting good swings on the ball. "Tonight he was really seeing the ball good, he was in a good position to hit and he was really driving the ball." Bruce Chen (2-2) allowed one run and five hits in five innings to get the win. Chen has 82 career victories to tie former New York Yankees great Mariano Rivera for the most wins by a Panamanian. "For me, hes one of the best pitchers to ever pitch in the big leagues and to tie him for most wins by a Panamanian really means a lot to me, and my family is very happy," Chen said. Adam Dunn went 2 for 4 with a solo homer for the White Sox, who had won three of four. Chicago starter Scott Carroll (4-6) allowed five runs and 11 hits in five-plus innings. "I thought I was just rusty; thats kind of the way I felt," Carroll said. "Overall, I just didnt think I had my best stuff. But I have to be better, the sixth inning is what really got me. Up until that point I just felt rusty." The Royals had a players-only meeting before the game and needed a good start. Moustakas provided it when he led off the second with a long homer to right field to make it 1-0. The White Sox tied it when Dunn led off the fourth with a homer to left.dddddddddddd. The Royals broke the game open with a four-run sixth inning thanks to some timely hits — another missing element during the losing streak — and White Sox miscues. Billy Butler led off with a double and the next batter, Raul Ibanez, drove him in with a double to make it 2-1. Alcides Escobar followed with an infield hit to put runners on first and third, and Ibanez scored on a passed ball as Nori Aoki walked for a 3-1 lead. That was all for Carroll as Javy Guerra entered. Guerra, though, immediately dug a deeper hole with his defence. With runners on first and second, Jarrod Dyson bunted back to the vicinity of the mound. Guerra fielded the ball cleanly, but his throw to first base was wild and sailed by second baseman Gordon Beckham and down the right field line, allowing Escobar to score on the throwing error. The Royals capped the scoring in the inning with a sacrifice fly by Omar Infante to make it 5-1. "The tack-on runs were huge for us right there," Yost said. Moustakas added a two-run homer in the eighth. NOTES: Chicago manager Robin Ventura said he decided to give 1B Jose Abreu the night off after watching the major League home run leader move around looking a bit stiff during Mondays game. "Going through the All-Star stuff and everything else, not having a break, you just see little things," Ventura said. Abreu is not injured and should play in the series finale on Wednesday. ... Royals 1B Eric Hosmer missed a second straight game with a bruised right hand. He was hit with a pitch from Jon Lester of the Boston Red Sox on Sunday. "He wanted to try (to play) today," Yost said, "and I told him, Lets just take it easy, get treatment on it all day (Wednesday) and see where we are." ...
