Jabroni Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 (edited) The ABC Channel 7 sports segment showed Konerko and the Sox filming a new commercial. Paulie was being filmed swinging at the plate at the Cell. They interviewed Konerko and he joked that they had to hire more actors for the commercial because of all the injuries the Sox currently have.

bjm676 Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 http://www.suntimes.com/output/sox/cst-nws-sox29.html They're Sox stars -- and they'll play them on TV Attention big league pitchers: If you want to make White Sox slugger Paul Konerko squirm, sit him on the bench and smear makeup on his mug. "I hate this, but you gotta do it," Konerko said, waiting to take a few cuts for the cameras at Thursday's commercial shoot at Sox Park. The off-day obligation didn't sit well with Konerko, but Scott Podsednik reveled in his chance to prove he's the Shakespeare of the Sox outfield, boasting he's the prettiest actor of the bunch. "No question [i'm the best]. I'm kind of disappointed I was not picked for the lead role," he said with a grin. "That's something we'll have to hash out.... I'll try to get out there, steal the show, see what happens." Podsednik would have to outshine fellow warning track stalker Aaron Rowand, who's scripted to get killed off in one of the new "Win or Die Trying" promotional spots set to hit the airwaves May 15. Method acting Once the makeup had removed the shine from Rowand's forehead, the tobacco-chewing tough guy proclaimed himself a natural for his role. "I've got plenty of practice running into walls, so I'm pretty sure it will only take one take," he said. Commercial visionary David Stevenson of TwoXFour Communications said he's not pushing his luck by trying to turn baseball players into screen stars. At best, it's method acting: The guys are taking cuts and chasing down balls like they would on game day. "As for being thespians, we're not putting them in that role," Stevenson said. The ad campaign will mingle live game footage with staged bits and a few skits with players. One of the scenes, sources said, has Rowand dying in the outfield with Jermaine Dye and Podsednik delivering the straight line, "At least he was trying." Meanwhile, Rowand has an out-of-body experience in a CTA L car. And swipes at the Cubs? "They're coming," Stevenson confirmed 'A hairy guy' After the makeup artist -- who didn't give her name for fear of losing work -- finished powdering the Sox' noses, she refused to say which guy needed the most foundation, or confirm Podsednik's claim that he, indeed, is pretty as pie. She did confess that one player, whom she wouldn't name, had to have his nose hair clipped. Podsednik and Dye agreed it had to be Konerko. "He is a hairy guy," Podsednik said. Konerko had left the field to wash his face and was unable to defend himself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait a minute, Aaron Rowand chews, is he f***ing stupid. There is no reason to chew if you're a major league ball player unless you really want cancer.
