The Red Sox regular starter Daisuke Matsuzaka has been put in the disabled list by the team as he is suffering from a slight right arm strain that he picked up during the game against the Orioles last Friday night. He will not be featuring in a Red Sox baseball match for a period of 15 days. Dice-K is relieved that the MRI scan on his right rotor cuff did not show any structural damage. Terry Francona, the Red Sox manager, said that Dice K will be strengthening his right shoulder during his DL period and will get him ready to pitch for the rest of the season. The ticket holding Sox fans will not be able to see him pitch live until mid June.

The Red Sox were high on victory after winning last Sunday night’s game against the Indians and scored 8-5 much to the chagrin of David Ortiz who has been forced to take a back seat to refresh him out of one of the biggest letdowns in his career. Likewise the Red Sox also won without help from their top relief pitchers, Jonathan Papelbon as well as the ever resilient Hideki Okajima. As much as they would like to participate, they were ordered to take advantage of their much needed rest before the Red Sox go up against the Cleveland Indians yet again on Wednesday night in New York.
Daisuke Matsuzaka was deemed on of the reasons the Red Sox scored an early victory. His winning pitches were more than enough to take the team to a higher level. The affable pitcher threw 116 pitches over his five taxing innings. He lost out on five hits, six walks and four runs, finally striking out two.

Finally, we have a postseason MLB series that are worth watching. The Red Sox do not have to wait until next year to show some great results, because the team has a minimum of 9 more innings that are left to play this season. This weekend before Cleveland fans ready to celebrate, Boston guaranteed that the Head of the Charles Regatta is not going to be the focal point of the Red Sox sports scene.
Boosting his reputation as an October “money-man” Beckett outpitched C.C. Sabathia for his 3rd consecutive superlative outing. Therefore, the Red Sox were able to postpone the inevitable hand wringing and Francona 2nd-guessing festival with a 7-1 win before 45 thousand dispirited Cleveland fans at Jacobs Field.
In case the baseball series gets to a 7th game, Beckett said he would be ready to pitch in relief after another amazing effort in Game 5.
Cleveland still leads this best-of-7 series 3-2. However, now the Indians will have to duplicate the performance of the ‘95 and ‘97 Cleveland league champions and win the pennant.
The matchups seem to favor the Indians, with nineteen-game winner Carmona taking on Schilling in Game Six on Saturday and Westbrook opposing Matsuzaka in a possible 7th game the following day.
Any benefits Cleveland derives from the pitching are sure to be outweighed by the Red Sox’s home-field advantage and the frantic atmosphere of Fenway Park. Boston went 51-30 at home this season, and Cleveland won Game 2 by a 13-6 score.

With the MLB playoffs right around the corner, ticket brokers are salivating at the possibility of having the Cubs, Yankees, Redsox, and Mets all making the playoffs. Even more so, the Yankees and Cubs are two of the hottest teams heading in to the fall classic, and Cubs’ fans annual “this is the year” whispers are turning into loud chants. The possibility of a Yankees-Cubs world series would not only be great for insanely priced ticket sales, but it would also be great for baseball. It would be the perfect storm. A Yankees-Cubs would cure the hunger for two championship-hungry markets in the Yankees-Cubs faithful. With huge markets in New York and Chicago, anyone and everyone is going to want a piece of history, and those who capitalize on this momentous occasion will make a lot of money. For now its just a dream, a cindarella story in the ticket broker world. But even dreams can sometimes become reality.

Well it seems that they are on the right track. With a game winning homerun from Johnny Damon the Yankees beat the Red Sox 5-3 . This is there first of 3 games in the Bronx. In my opinion they can and need to pull this one off in order to make the playoffs. Theis will be a huge confidence builder for the Bronx Bombers and would definetly boost their morale in the hopes that they make it to the post seaon. October wont be as nice with the Yankees out of a pennant race. I dont any baseball fan really wants them not to make it…..

New baseball clinic for young athletes Many things are important to baseball and softball players, like fun, improving techniques, and honing skills. All young athletes from the age of five to sixteen now have a nice chance to sharpen their hitting, pitching, and throwing skills, while having fun at the baseball and softball clinic of Quesnel Minor Baseball Association. Lori Durocher, Quesnel Minor Baseball Association director said that he wanted to give the program a jump start as he hadn?t seen a baseball clinic in Quesnel for several number of years. In fact, this is the first clinic in about ten years in the Quesnel community. Organizers made the clinic happen very quickly. They heard baseball and softball instructors Craig Horswell, Jim Murphy, Jason Cook, Evan Potskin, and Derek Goodline were in the area and did everything possible to arrange it. The instructors will do their best to identify players who will be
able to compete at higher levels and give them exposure with university and college teams. The morning session will focus on defense and instruction and the afternoon session will focus mainly on offence. All athletes will receive information about proper nutrition and training techniques to excel in sports. The baseball clinic will give athletes a wonderful opportunity to gain experience. Lori Durocher stated that they wanted to make it happen
and make it an annual event to train young baseball players and coaches for the future. They also hope that parents and coaches will learn some of the techniques for playing and teaching young athletes and probably take coaching clinics in the future.

In early May, baseball Hall of Famer Orlando Cepeda was charged by law enforcement officials with possessing marijuana and other drugs. 69-year old Cepeda now works as a community representative for the San Francisco Giants. He speaks to children about the dangers of drugs. Cepeda was stopped while driving 83 mph on a highway with a speed limit of 65 mph. When the police officer made contact with Orlando Cepeda,
she smelled the odor of marijuana coming from his car. She decided to do a search of the vehicle and found marijuana. The officer also some other controlled substance, methamphetamine or cocaine. The police also found a syringe. The former baseball star was held in a local jail for some time. However, he was not suspected of driving while under the influence of drugs. Orlando’s lawyer stated that his client was innocent and that he does not use drugs and that the marijuana was for medicinal use by his family member suffering from diabetes. Court hearing concerning this case was put on hold Tuesday, May 22. Prosecutors will be seeking for more information about his traffic stop as well as the substances that were found in the vehicle he was driving. It was stated that prosecutors were waiting for laboratory results to identify the powder that was found in the car. The CHP (California Highway Patrol) test identified the white powder as cocaine. A more conclusive laboratory test will be completed in two weeks. In its report to prosecutors, the CHP recommended that Orlando Cepeda be charged with a felony count of possessing a controlled substance and the
speeding violation. Moreover, they also recommended 2 misdemeanor charges, for possession of a syringe and possession of less than 1 ounce of marijuana. Now we are waiting for the court decision.

Jim Palmer, legendary MLB Hall-of-Famer and former Baltimore Orioles pitcher, has teamed up for the second time with Merck/Schering-Plough Pharmaceuticals and Minor League Baseball for a special program. Entitled Strike Out High Cholesterol, this national cholesterol-education program helps lower LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) levels. The program will tour ten Minor League baseball parks across the united States during the baseball season this summer in order to raise awareness about high cholesterol levels and its two major sources, food and family. Over
50 percent of all adults in the US have high cholesterol level, and Jim Palmer is no exception. High cholesterol can contribute to a higher risk of heart disease, if left untreated. It is the single leading cause of death in America. As a former athlete, Palmer has always done his best to lead a healthy lifestyle, but he is still struggling to control his high LDL, or “bad” cholesterol. Many of us are still unaware of the fact that cholesterol comes from two main sources: our food and family. Virtually, about 75 percent of cholesterol is produced naturally in our bodies, generally
based our family health history. The remaining 25 percent of cholesterol comes from our diet. Jim Palmer confessed that he was thrilled to be a part of Strike Out High Cholesterol program. It allows him to educate people about the importance of understanding the major sources of high cholesterol level and knowing our family health history. He also said that the program hit very close to home for him as he was adopted and did not have the \
privilege of knowing his biological family’s health history.
