There are at least two things I love about this story—center field prospects who didn't turn out as well as Colby Rasmus, and Panda Express. When you add in inadvertently dogging a guy who pays some fraction of your salary—well, I thank San Diego Padres SB Nationers Gaslamp Ball for running with this case of Cameron Maybin-bites-dog.
↵To summarize—Cameron Maybin, new Padre and former Colby Rasmus competitor for Official Center Field Prospect of the 2005 Draft, apparently ate at a Panda Express recently. Maybe he's new in town and trying something new; maybe he just reported to Spring Training and had a time crunch. The end result is that he experienced some serious digestive problems, which led him to tell his 4000 Twitter followers to "Never eat panda express."
↵Panda Express owner Tom Davin just happens to be a part of the San Diego Padres' ownership group. I can only hope this becomes a commercial, maybe about the tension between this position and Maybin's expressed ambivalence toward snitching.
