Sometimes, it’s important to be reminded of who we’re dealing with here. In last night’s telecast on NBC Sports Bay Area, the broadcast showed the following graphic to describe just how tough of a season it’s been for the San Francisco Giants, which in part necessitated the call-up of baby-faced Hayden Birdsong (who had a great start that is captured wonderfully in Brady’s recap):

The graphic’s headline of “Getting It Done” is obviously an attempt to create an underdog story or sign of perserverance. The underdog storyline is a potent and profitable angle for players and teams to play and it’s important to never lose sight of the fact that the Giants are trying to sell the team at all times.
