An article in the Chicago Tribune stated that there have been initial 
"sounding-out" inquiries from the commissioner's office to the Cubs
about whether pushing out the start of the Series to 10/13 would be
OK.  Since the NL has home status for the Series this year, an Oct.
13 start would mean day games at Wrigley Field on Sat. and Sunday
(13th and 14th), play three week-night games at the AL city,
then return for games 6 and 7 the following weekend (20th and
21st).  This sounds like a pretty good idea to me, although it means
no weekend day games at the AL city.  I think the Series would be starting
4-5 days later than normal, however.
