The '07 season, series against the Rockies at Wrigley. It was after the horrendous start to the season and the Cubs had just started putting some momentum together. They had a huge lead only to have Howry blow it in the top of the 9th (and then have a fan run at him from the stands and be viciously tackled by security just in front of the mound).
IIRC, DeRo led off the bottom of the inning with a bloop single off Brian Fuentes, and then I believe that both Rob Bowen and Koyie Hill had hits that inning too. Then Soriano came up and hit a 2 RBI-single to win it with Jacque Strap crossing the plate as a pinch runner.
In my mind that game was a true turning point for the Cubs.
