< beat the mets!!! > What is all this talk about post-season games at Wrigley field? Don't you know they will be played at Shea? Just wait until the amazing ones start their September drive. Then Detroit will have to come to the Big Apple!

first of all, since the Mets will win the NL East, the question of
playoff games at Wrigley field will not be important
second, aren't there Cubs fans who work during the day who would
prefer to have some night games so that they could see their team
play?

Of course there are Cubs fans that work (or take up space at some place that pays them :-}). And of course these fans would like to see night baseball at Wrigley so they could go see their team play. But since these people are fans, they also don't want their team penalized just because they don't have lights in their park! If the Cubs are forced to install lights at Wrigley, then they should be allowed to do it during the off season, so they can parctice there a while, and then play the whole season under the lights (this, of course, does nothing to solve the current problem, but is only fair!). Installing lights just for the playoffs and World Series (if either, or both, happens) is ludicrous. No team can be expected to play the most important games of the season, and maybe their lives, under strange lighting in their own park! What would Mets or Phillies or Padres or... fans say if the lights in their parks were suddenly moved, or changed to a different type just before the playoffs? I bet they wouldn't be happy! Oh well, enough of the light conversation :-} P.S. To Dan Rokhsar; Dan... I didn't pick on your article out of any malice. I had just read enough of this discussion that I couldn't keep silent any longer. -- Ron Lewen ....ihnp4!tellab1!rcl <----------------------------------------------------------------> Th...th...th...th...that's all, folks!

... In answer to "aren't there Cubs fans who work during the day who would prefer ...night games..." It's worth using up my vacation days to see them play the way they always play..... during the day!
