Growing up in Peoria, IL, about three hours drive south of Chicago, Wrigley Field was my family's go to spot for major league baseball games. My Dad would take me to at least one Padres-Cubs game a season, and those trips are some of the best memories any kid could possibly have.
Also, every single one of those games my Dad took me to was a day game. Wrigley didn't add lights until 1988 when I was 11 years old, and even then, they played only a handful of night games a season.
Since then, the few times I have gone to a night game at Wrigley (this
game comes to mind), it is cold, wet, windy, and worst of all, feels a lot like every other stadium in baseball. It's nothing like the warm sunny days I knew growing up.
So if it was up to me the Cubs would only play day games at Wrigley. And, if they did play any night games, they certainly wouldn't beat the Padres
1-0 in ten innings in any of those games.
Game-time temperature of Padres-Cubs Game 1 yesterday at Wrigley: 42 degrees Fahrenheit.

Well, Bruce Bochy and the Giants got it dun again today, sweeping the Diamondbacks to drop their magic number to 2. That number could fall to 1 if the Padres don't win tonight against the Cubs.
To prepare for last night's game I went to Three Monkeys and drank six Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPAs. 
My playoff tickets arrived today, including for a potential tiebreaker game at Petco Park. Looking at the strip of tickets has me equal parts excited and feeling like tossing my lunch.
