I don't know. I'm not sure why you'd say take them out... The Yankees and Lakers championships seem like forever ago too. They still count. Plus, right now, Chicago sports are in pretty good, if not great, shape. The Bulls, Bears, and (dare I say) Cubs all could conceivably be playing for their championships at the end of their respective seasons this year (one, obviously, already is)... It doesn't hurt that things aren't looking quite so up for the Sox anymore, either. I don't mean to really "take out" the Bulls championships. I'm just saying they seem like a long time ago and since then it's been the White Sox and that's it. Who's got the 8th championship since '91 anyway? Bulls had 6. White Sox had 1. Cubs, Sox, Bulls, Hawks, Bears----nothing other than those. That's 7, not 8. Are we counting the Rush? Or maybe the Fire? Didn't they win the MLS a couple years back?
