[I know the ball's here somewhere...]

Cubs fans, stop griping. Baseball is legally obligated to have weekday
games played at night during the playoffs. Giving this guarantee
netted each team (including the Cubs) an extra $700,000 over the life
of the contract. Evidently, management did not think enough of the
Cubs' prospects to insist upon a more flexible, and less lucrative,
contract. 

Thus, temporary lights are mandated should the Cubs hold on. Unless
the Cubs prefer Comiskey...
