Playing in the dark, the Cubs might have done better.

It would be a nice touch, though perhaps not the highest programming priority, if the game would take into account that Wrigley Field had no lights until August 8, 1988 (a day that shall live in infamy), and would implement schedules and extra inning games accordingly.
