Blanton to become next shameless, product-hocking Phillie
By Zaki, PhillyGameday.com
After being swept by the Blue Jays, Orioles and Braves over the past few weeks, the Phillies finally played to their potential against David Wright, Johan Santana and a medley of boobs to earn a three-game sweep.
With all of the recent sweepage going on, Proctor and Gamble took the opportunity to sign Joe Blanton as their new Swiffer pitch man. Blanton will follow Cole Hamels, Ryan Howard and Cole Hamels again (in that awkward ESPN the Magazine commercial I can’t find a clip for) as the latest Phillie to simultaneously peddle a product and embarrass his team and fans when his commercial debuts sometime soon.

That Espn commercial has to be one of the worst most awkward commercials I have ever saw. I’m kinda glad you couldn’t find a clip. I couldn’t bare to watch it again. Thank you PhillyGameday
Yeah I don’t think you can find one person that doesn’t cringe at it
“But where’d you get that sweet ESPN Fleece”
“That’s nothing….what about being on the court….with the ball….5 seconds left…….in the game…..now…..that’s pressure”
