Cubs Fans: if the team makes it to the World Series...?

Question

...Wrigley Field will host Games 3, 4, and 5 (if necessary).

Should there be just one day game?

If Fox imposes the same schedule as last year, Games 3-5 will fall over the weekend, Saturday through Monday. Since Game 5 cannot be guaranteed, I think the Sunday game, Game 4, is the perfect opportunity. Daytime World Series baseball at Wrigley on October 26!

Answer 1

You said it all with IF-

Answer 2

Jesus, don't let me answering this question curse my Cubbies..... NOW back to your regular scheduled Answer

I think there should defiantly be day baseball if the Cubs are in the World Series BUT, i doubt it's going to happen. FOX & MLB are too worried about TV ratings & the west coast so i doubt there will be a game start before 8:30 pm EST.

Brian F - there is College football on Saturday afternoon, saturday eve & sunday eve as well... someone's "other sport" may get some intterference

BUT, the friendly confines are known for day baseball AND it can get freakin' cold in Chicago in October, so playing under the sun would be better for the guys on the field as well.

Answer 3

I would be all for having a day game. I think the history and the traditions of the game are very important, and day baseball at Wrigley is one of those.

The only argument would come from the networks who would want prime time for supposedly higher ratings and advertising rates. But let's be real -- people are going to watch the World Series no matter what time of day it is.

(PS -- Well, I didn't think of what Brian said. That's a good point.)

Answer 4

Don't jinx it Chipmaker! These claims are very delicate, no matter how exciting!

Edit: One day game would be good! Probably a Saturday game afternoon would be best. You don't want to interfere with football on sunday.

Answer 5

I would be all for it because the history if the game is important to me and I believe it would be the right thing to do since the Cubs history involves day games.  In addition, I would sure like to see Ernie Banks in uniform sitting in the dugout during that game.  Of course, the younger people on this site will have no clue of why I would suggest such a stupid thing, and that is alright.

Answer 6

By all means,let's have one day game.

....Ervin Santana has been filthy in day games this year !!!!!!!

Answer 7

NOT IF, WHEN the Cubs win the world series this year. we will all celebrate !! Go Cubs, they finally have pitching.
