Anyone else think Wrigley needs better lighting?

I've noticed it for years, esp early April & October earlier sundowns. I guess the batters can see alright, though it does seem gloomy.

I point this out because years of watching golf have taught me that 'it's always darker than what tv shows'.

Lights weren't added until the late 1980s, so they did the best they could to optimally illuminate a field that wasn't originally configured to be artificially lit.

And of course many Cubs purists would argue that there shouldn't be any lights at all. Of course, no amount of protest was going to stop the revenue-hungry MLB from forcing the Cubs to install lights. If the Cubs were ever to play a World Series game in Chicago during the tail end of the no lights era, they would have been forced to play at Comiskey Park so that the game(s) could be aired as primetime television.

But I've gone off on a tangent. On a more relevant note, thanks for putting on a :censored: show in all four facets of the game to properly end my Easter Sunday. Let's try not to make this kind of laughable performance a habit like it has been in the past God knows how many years, shall we, Cubbies?

Cubs fan opinion - snarky dismissal from other non-cub fans - recycling of jokes - rinse, repeat.

Why in the world did they ever decide to play the opening game of the year at Wrigley when it's right smack in the middle of a renovation? Even if everything would've ended up getting finished on time, that still seems like a really poor decision.

Hey, they didn't know it would be cold in Chicago in the winter, lay off!

♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫

Kemp picks up an RBI single off of Clayton Kershaw in his first at bat as a Padre. That sure changed the minds of all the Dodgers fans who had just given him a standing ovation :P
