It's a great start; it gets us on television. Right now, we're neck-and-neck, and I think that says a lot. We certainly have the momentum.

I wish Willie [Bloomquist] was here with us so we could have all three of them working out together. Right now, it's just Yuni and Jose taking ground balls and making throws to each other at the base.

This reflects a process that appears rushed and disorganized. They want to issue licenses this fall, and right now, it doesn't seem like [gaming board members] know what they are doing.

We are in the right cycle to do it.

Side by side with the BBC, may they give us the best in television

The television thing is not what makes it big for us. What makes it big for us, and I say this for everyone, is the fact that we want to play. I think we are underrated. We have a lot to prove and we want to get out there and do some good things. We feel that we have some great talent. We feel that we have players.
