Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington had the following to say after watching starting pitcher Brandon Webb complete a throwing session.
"Wow."
Ok, so he said a little more than that. Webb could provide a much needed boost to a team that missed out on Cliff Lee and Zach Greinke this offseason. It can be easy to forget that Webb is a former Cy Young winner who can flat out dominate. Example: remember when the Colorado Rockies won 21 of 22 games on their way to the World Series in 2007? Do you remember the one pitcher who beat them during that streak? Brandon Webb. On a Friday night. In Coors Field.
Clearly he won't be that kind of pitcher now, but if he's close to right he could make a big difference for the defending AL champs, as they deal with the always relevant Angels and the potential emergence of the Oakland Athletics with their stock of pitching.
A Video
Check out high school basketball star Jordan Green dunking over an opponent. Impressive.
A Photo (and a video!)
I like to play golf. People who know me might say, "One of the main reasons you golf is because you like the clothes." And they would be absolutely correct.
Check out this photo of Rickie Fowler's outfit in the first round of the Accenture Match Play Championship, and then check out this link with highlights of him in a pink shirt and matching shoes as he defeated Phil Mickelson. As far as this tournament goes, Fowler's accomplishment in fashion rivals the accomplishment of beating Mickelson. They are 1 and 1A, really.
A Tweet
@carmeloanthony: Damn, are u serious. Some people never seize to amaze me. Unbelievable
This was directed at George Karl after he criticized Anthony's lack of defensive focus while a member of the Nuggets (in an interview on TNT). Let's just say that this tweet will never seize to make me laugh.

| Thanks for the picture, Aaron. Please stay healthy and keep the ball down. |
An Announcement!
After the fact, since he already posted his first contribution, but nevertheless, here is a hearty welcome to Michael R. Mason! Warning Track Power is now three strong.
I am confident that Mike will never seize to impress you with his insights and commentary.
An Early Thought...
...on the Colorado Rockies. Their most important pitcher might be Aaron Cook. Their most important hitter might be Jose Lopez. There are lots of candidates for both of these statements, though.
A Suggestion
Watch San Diego State host BYU tomorrow at 12:00 P.M. MST. Two top ten teams out of the Mountain West should provide for an entertaining game. And it's Jimmer mania!
