Ron Burgundy's Thoughts
Papa Burgundy is putting on his fancy pants, it's time to go to New York! We've started the season on a bad note, only winning one game in the first week of the season. But I can feel it in my bones, we are ready to turn the corner and start playing respectable baseball. The vast majority of our games have been close ones, it's a positive that we haven't been getting blown out. The Mets provide a challenge for us though, they are a very talented team if they can all get on the same page. Carlos Beltran has started on a roll, so it'll be our pitchers jobs to shut him down. We get a lucky draw though as we probably won't have to face Johan Santana unless they pitch him on short rest in game three. This is going to be a fun series, and for now I'm going out to have a drink or two, I love New York!
