Well, what about the buildup there?

I mean, it must be pretty fun.

I'm curious, like walking into the park, obviously you've been down there after the World Series, you know, and I'm sure obviously you guys got back into town a few days ago or last week, but first time going in there for a game, you know, since Game 7 of the World Series, packed house, you have the celebration, you're turning the page on the season, but I'm curious kind of the emotions and thought process walking back in there on Friday night.

Right.

Well, and the attention to detail, you guys are striking the right chords right now.

And obviously that coincides with winning.

We talked about this last hour, and we've talked a lot about it the last few months, you know, to the arrival of the 26th season.

You know, you guys, if you won 78 games and missed the playoffs last year, it probably would have been a different vibe on Friday night, needless to say.

But the attention to detail... Maybe a different person on air.

Possibly a different person.

I don't know.

Do you want to answer that?

Did you feel like you had to win last year, Mark?

No, I'm just...

I hear you.

I'm with you.

But the attention to detail and striking the right chord with the fans.

You mentioned it was a half an hour pregame, but I spoke with a lot of people, a lot of Jays fans who said they really thoroughly enjoyed it and felt like you guys are really connecting with the fan base on that front.

How much time and effort goes into that?

How much of it is organic?
