It seems like the only way I'm going to be able to give the industry the amount of money that I'm willing to give it is if I become unemployed, retire, or get a job as a bartender or night watchman.

Someone has got to explain this to me. Even the Chicago Cubs (remember when day baseball was a time honored tradition at Wrigley?) realized that prime time was the right time.
