Foot, meet mouth. Just days after I was critical of the boring MLB 2K9 ads featuring Tim Lincecum comes this spot featuring Tiny Tim, his video avatar and a cameo by Randy Johnson. Just fantastic and funny stuff. Who knew the Big Unit was a clubhouse peeker?

A big BLS head nod goes out to AdFreak for the post.

The game or the fake Tiny Tim? 'Cause if it's the latter we're going to have to hold a home run derby for it.

Saw this last night and did a double take when I didn't realize the Big Unit had been traded. It's hard to believe the models will look so good in the game, or in Lincecum's case... so bad. Take that beenie off ya bum.

I can't stand the Giants and was never a big fan of the Big Unit, but that commercial is pretty cool.

Whoo go Giants!!!! Tim Lincecum is a badass pitcher he deserved the spot.
Anrkist your the bum!Don't hate!You wish you could be in his shoes.
Crest to answer your question about the "big unit." I believe it's because Randy Johnson is around 6'10 and towers over every freaking player in the MLB.Lol

game sucks. no real improvement from other 2k games and there isnt much you can do. I should have just stuck with the show because its a much better series.

Commerical is great, but like many commercials the product is crap.
2K9 is just as bad as the other 2K baseball games on the next gen. THe graphics on The SHow are just as good, although graphics of course aren't everything. The Show blows 2K out of the water. It really isn't my opinion either, 2K has some good points but when the game STILL has lag time when you are playing an offline game, that just makes the game unplayable.

randy shouldve said something along the lines of... " i thought i was the big unit " that woulda been priceless.

2K9 is best for the PC.. no lag time, graphics are great. And certainly alot better then the crap EA Sports put out a few years ago when they owned the MLB rights.

That commercial is awesome. I laugh every time. Never knew that Tim has a tattoo at his atlas... ESPN needs to show a few more of his starts because he's amazing!
