Giants told hotels to refuse room service for Panda
http://www.sfgate.com/giants/article/Report-Giants-told-hotels-to-refuse-room-service-7251343.phpThe Giants were so determined to keep Pablo Sandoval's weight from ballooning during road trips that they told the hotels to refuse him room service, according to a Comcast Sports Net reporter.
The Red Sox's benched third baseman, who is in the second year of a five-year, $95 million contract, is on the disabled list with a shoulder strain, which some speculate is fake.
Comcast Sports Net's Sean McAdam reported Friday on the "Toucher and Rich" show that when Sandoval was with the Giants, the team made sure he couldn't order room service....
"I'll tell you another anecdote. This is how concerned the Giants were when he played for them ... they would make special arrangements at the hotel the Giants were staying in to not allow him to order room service. They would tell the front desk management, 'If he calls down for room service at night after games, do not send anything to this room.' They went to great measures to try to cut down on those eating binges, and it would only work for a time because he would find someplace to get food."

not that Sandoval would have accepted it. His mind was pretty much made up to play inthe A.L. But still, to have that much invested in the Panda in S.F, right now ...
