1. D-Fdub Leaves Mark on Sun City-  Thank you to all the faithful readers that extended gracious hospitality, the Texas Rangers for the tickets and exclusive player interactions, and In-N-Out Burger for the delicious Double-Doubles and chocolate shakes.

2. Mavs Pull Off Win After Sloppy Start- The D-Fdub takes full responsibility for the sloppy start... but, the Mavs wanted to hang Saturday Nights and we had the hook up.  Dirk was as crazy as always, the life of the party as usual.  He jumped into the hot tub from the roof of the condo and repeatedly dunked JJB who had to stand on his tip-toes to breathe anyway.  It was a great night and things didn't get wrapped up until early in the a.m.  So, our bad.

3. Treanor Traded to Royals- We uncovered this story after the Ranger's spring training game against the Rockies at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick.  During an interview of Ron Washington he revealed that Kansas City had unearthed some particularly embarrassing video footage of Mr. Washington partying with two women much younger than he.  He was only concerned that the footage of him, "dancin' around like a toples fool," would ruin his stellar image in the D-Fdub.  The Treanor trade serves as hush money.

4. Being A Hero- Please take a little time and read about a true hero and what he is doing to make a difference today.

5. Rangers Base-Running Coach Domingo Ayala-  Coach Ayala took time after yesterday's practice to give the D-Fdub the same base-running tips he gives the major leaguers.  Coach Ayala's resume speaks for itself and he leads by example.
