There is an almost celebratory aspect to this particular hearing and for good reason. You know, just as of a few weeks ago when i came to compliment you on your staff work, im going to do the same with regard to the giants here today. We had, as jack has noted, a very Good Relationship with them that began at the ballpark and is moving across the creek.
