Ron Burgundy's Thoughts
Well here were are back on the west coast. This time we are pulling into the bay to take on the San Francisco Giants once again. This time it's only going to be a two game series, and we get very lucky since we don't have to face Big Time Timmy Jim. (Greatest Sportscenter commercial ever! Tim Lincecum is the man.) With a win in our last game it feels as if a weight has been lifted off the team, and we can work on catching up with the rest of the West, which isn't a long haul like it may look from our record. The division leaders are only at 7-5, so contention is still well in reach. And after this series we get to play the Pirates! That's good news in it's own.
