CHICAGO -- There was plenty of action at Wrigley Field on Monday. Unfortunately, none of it involved playing an actual game of baseball and the end result left thousands of fans in the dark.
The opener of a key midseason series between the Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers was postponed on Monday because of rain systems moving through the Chicago area and because of a partial power outage at the old ballpark that the Cubs were never quite able to fix.
"As many of you could probably tell from the press box, we were having issues with the lights on the right-field side, this evening," said Cubs spokesman Julian Green.
