Best Chicago Games of the Last Decade

The December 29, 2009, Chicago Tribune ran a list of most striking games involving Chicago teams from 2000 to 2009.

OCTOBER. 14, 2003-- The "Bartman" incident. Cub fans need to get over it. Bartman did mot beat the Cubs. The Cubs beat the Cubs.

MARCH 25, 2005-- the Illinois comeback vs. Arizona, getting the team into the Final Four. We saw it at the Bennigan's in Champaign, Illinois, and all food stopped that last ten minutes, but NOT the drinks. Good party that night.

OCTOBER 7, 2005-- Orlando "El Duque" pitches the Sox into the ALCS. Beginning the finest time-ever to be a Sox Fan.

OCTOBER 13, 2005-- A. J. Pierzynski's play vs. the Angels ALCS #5. Heads up playing.

OCTOBER 23, 2005-- Paul Konerko's grand slam and Scott Posednick's walk-off home run to put Sox up 2-0 in World Series. At this point, however, I have to wonder why the game that clinched the World Series was not included.

OCTOBER 16, 2006-- Monday Night Miracle when Bears defeat Arizona and set off Green tirade. Also have to wonder why the Bears appearance in the Super Bowl February 4, 2007 not listed.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2008-- Carlos Zambrano's no-hitter vs. Houston

APRIL 30, 2009-- Bulls beat Celtics in triple overtime to tie the first round playoff series 3-3.

MAY 11, 2009-- Hawks win series vs. the Canucks to get to Western Division play offs.

JULY 23, 2009-- Sox Mark Buehrle's PERFECT GAME!! We were out boating with friends and had to stay at a bar the last three innings until the other team got a hit even though some serious storms were entering the area. We got drenched on the way back, but it was worth it.

Some Great Sports Memories. --Cooter
