I may not be a fan of Chicago with its exorbitant prices, but I am a fan of the athletic teams.
The December 31, 2009, Chicago Tribune had a list of best Chicago teams.
2003 CUBS
It was Dusty Baker with Kerry Woods and Mark Prior before their "hurt" days. Da Bartman.
2004-2005 ILLINOIS BASKETBALL
New coach Bruce Weber took team to Illinois' first regular season Big Ten title since 1952. There was that great win against Arizona and then a heartbreaking 75-70 loss against North Carolina in the NCAA Championship game.
2005 WHITE SOX
The team that went all the way. Paul Konerko, Mark Buehrle, Joe Crede, A. J. Pierzynski, Jermaine Dye and Manager Ozzie Guillen. Almost blew a big season league, but got hot at the right time, winning the last five regular season games and then going 11-1 in the playoffs.
Too bad they never won the clinching games at home, though.
2006 BEARS
All the way to Super Bowl XLI against the Colts. Too bad we didn't have a quarterback. Even a so-so one would have won the day. Lovey should have put Ortman in.
2005-2009 NORTHWESTERN WOMEN"S LACROSSE
Five time NCAA Champions!!
Occasionally Chicago Sports Has a Winner. --Cooter
