Giants clinch award for worst advertising slogan of the season

By 'Duk

Poor Matt Cain. Wonder how many times his San Francicso teammates (or opposing fans) will tell him to go see the doctor this season?

In related news, this banner is still competing with this placard at Toronto's Rogers Centre for "Sign Guaranteed To Stir Up Everyone's Juvenile Side."

    Is this a public service announcement for STD's? I hear that's a problem in the Bay Area.

    Randy Johnson won't be telling Cain to put a towel on anytime soon, I assume.

    I guess they better go sign Roger Clemens now, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

    What? Not doing a Randy Johnson promo? Especially being close to 300 wins.

    You think that's bad? Inside the yard, there's a Virgin Airlines sign and to its left is a Johnsonville sausage sign.
    Balls, Virgin and a Johnsonville.... And the Big Unit pitches tonight.

    I love the creativity of the ad people with the giants. Here are my offerings;
    1) Play with our hot balls.
    2) Our balls will burn your hands.
    3) You'll need pot holders to catch our balls.
    4) our pellets will burn you.
    5) our cheese is so hot its fondue, with balls.
    6) We play balls deep, hot ones.
    7) The dodgers balls are ice cubes. Yes Manny's too.

    At Alice Cooper's restaurant in Phoenix they have a foot long hot dog named after Johnson called "The Big Unit". Coincidence?
