I don't think you'll see a lot of change. It's not like John is moving into a situation that's broken and needs to be fixed.

This trip, we really just want to focus on making a change. We feel that we could do that best in New Orleans, especially with what has happened there. We feel commissioned, like it is our mission, to go there and help out.

We have no suburbs - we're an island.

The Cubs have a huge following everywhere, and they feel comfortable coming here because they know we do a good job.

If you're the Dodgers you've got to make sure that when your players are here they're going to be able to have the same competitive things new stadiums offer. Ours is less than that, but it's passable.

We made a pact that, No. 1: no politics.
