Joe Mauer, current cover-gracer of the MLB The Show video games series. Money quote:
I’ll strike out as myself and say something like, ‘C’mon, I could’ve hit that.’
We also learn that the Twins are video-game junkies, too.

"Well played."
"Well well."
"Well bred."
(dies) "Ah!"
That guy is great in all those MLB ads. I think he was also in the Holiday Inn ads of a couple years ago and I liked him there too.
And....indeed he was. "What is he, a clown?" "I hope so." Why do I still find this so hilarious?
Who is this guy? He's awesome. Can we give him his own show?
I had completely forgotten about the Pedroia commercial.
As much as I would love to have been a MLB star, I know realize I'd probably have been happier as a AAAA guy who hangs around for a long time. You make decent money for a typical middle-class American, you get to see great baseball and you play every now and again.
Of course, not having A ball talent sort of squelches that.
I can see the same for acting. Sure, you'd like to be a star, but if you can just find a way to stay in the business, make a decent wage, and do some cool bits, that would be a good life, I think.
I don't know, I'd guess those long bus rides and Motel 6's get real old after 2 or 3 years.
We'll see what happens with Matt Murton if he keeps hitting. He's due to make around 1.7 mil in total for two years if the Tigers pick up his option (which seems likely).
I must be getting old. I don't get the point of that commercial either. It's not that it's unrealistic, since nearly all commercials are unrealistic. I just don't understand what "Kevin Butler" was trying to do.
What's the deal with those State Farm commercials? Is that guy well-known for something? He acts like Howie Long, wandering around and expecting strangers to recognize him. He looks like a cross between John Stamos and Michael Jackson circa 2006.
He has to compete against Flo from Progressive, the Kim Possible clone from E-surance, the quadruple threat of the Caveman, the pile of money, the Gecko and the super-serious narrator from Geico and President David Palmer from Allstate.
Not a fan of that trend. But my least favorite may be the families of mesothelioma. Gotta admit, I'm starting to root for the mesothelioma, or at least for the Wrightnows to become the latest family to qualify for membership.

Isn't the point that he's supposed to be an idiot?
Ugh, I don't like that guy at all. He's supposed to look boyish and friendly, I guess, but to me he seems slippery. Jerry Lambert eats him for lunch!
State Farm must be feeling the heat...I'm sure this is the first time they've ever acknowledged Geico and Progressive.
I spend too much time analyzing commercials.
From what I gather, most people find him creepy.
Similiarly, the McDonalds guy who's a complete douche until he has his coffee. That commercial would be a lot more gratifying if, just once, somebody punches him before he gets to the counter.
Ahh, The General would kick all of their asses.
I think that's about right. There was a previous PS3 commercial where he denied the impending price cut was real.
"I could hit you."
"Pffft."
"Pffft, let's do it!"
I don't think he's an idiot exactly, he's just entirely fixated on selling Playstation products. He doesn't have an off mode. Of course, the Mexico photo does somewhat contradict that, but I figure it was just wining and dining a potential spokesman.
