OK, I love Tim Lincecum. Not only is he already favored to repeat as the NL Cy Young winner, but he makes great commercials.

*chuckle* For a baseball player, he's a decent actor. Contrast some of those woodenly-read radio commercials some of the players make.

And I know from my own experience having to do blue-screen work back when I made my amateur Doctor Who movie back in college that it's not always easy to react to people/things that aren't really there when you're shooting but are added in post-production.

You said "woodenly-read" and I immediately thought of those awful commercials Randy Winn does.

Jackpot! That is exactly what I was thinking of.

It's not that the ad copy is bad; I rather like the tag line, even. I think they should be able to do something like "Win with Winn" or similar. But Randy Winn sounds like he's reading ad copy.
