The site you linked to in your posting helped me immensely.  While I found several sites that reviewed Irish Pubs none of them organized them along geographic lines. I now plan to start in the morning in the Lakeview area and then work my way south throughout the day.  By late afternoon or early evening I should end up in the River North area. I've already picked out 5-6 Irish establishments to stop along the way so barring bad weather it should be a great day.

I really appreciate your help.  I see by your site your a western suburbs oriented person so our paths are not likely to cross during my trip.  However, if you find yourself downtown during the week please let me know.  At a minimum I would like to buy you a lunch or a drink or two to thank you for your kind assistance.
