Cameron Maybin Accidentally Talks Trash About the Padres Part-Owner

San Diego Padres newly acquired OF Cameron Maybin inserted his foot in his mouth yesterday over twitter:

Never eat panda express sh*ts had me feeling awful for 2 days back on my grind tomorrow,, We got action… – Cameron Maybin (i would link it up, but he deleted it)

Panda Express can do that to a person, but you probably should not say that when part-owner of the Padres, Tom Davin, is also the CEO of Panda Express.

Today, it looks like someone let him know since he attempts to clear the air with this tweet:

Man just got back on the wagon panda express was great today, now I’m ready for action…. Best oriental cuisine around… Let’s go…! – Cameron Maybin

Cameron, you showed some pretty good wheels backpedaling from that Panda tweet, hope you can use those wheels to catch a ball hit in the gap! If you really get the poops from Panda, just stay away from it during the season, or you will end up with some stories like George Brett:

Quick warning on the video (George uses some foul language in the vid, had to send out a warning before you play it)

I’m not a sabermetrics guy, but it has some value. Let me tell you what Albert Pujols is: he’s a boat or a hot tub. Looks great in your driveway, looks great on your deck, adds nothing to your net worth…Edgar Rentereia, a situational hitter – a clutch hitter – is more valuable in the postseason than Albert Pujols. Think I’m wrong? In three World Series, he’s hitting .333, five doubles, two homers, ten RBIs, World Series MVP. He’s a great situational hitter. And when you face elite pitching, that’s more important than power hitters.*

*B-Ref spoiler alert: Renteria also has a .666 OPS in 242 postseason at-bats, proving that it isn’t the mark of the beast after all.

Colin Cowherd

Ahahahahaha

Ehe. As I was reading that I didn't even consider it would have been Cowherd. I thought it was gon be some link to some stupid message board.

[CrimsonCane]

I knew it was Cowherd by the retarded syntax he uses for everything. As I read it, I could imagine the obligatory pauses and inflections he'd use for "Let me tell you what Albert Pujols is: he’s a boat or a hot tub. [Switch to deliberate tone] Looks great in your driveway, [forced pause] looks great on your deck, [forced pause] adds nothing to your net worth."

CC. I meant to ":-)" but I enter'd too soon
