Red Sox blogger Allan Wood has recently complained about not being able to see about $300 worth of games that he legally purchased online after MLB.com changed their DRM and stop supporting previous acquisitions. The blogger’s complaints were heard far and near. His story was picked up by popular technology sites, which is likely what prompted MLB.com to reach out to Allan Wood inviting him to take part in a conference call last night.

MLB is going to investigate allegations that the Indians pitcher Paul Byrd purchased and used using human growth hormone, the one that the league bans for muscle-building properties.
It was reported that Paul Byrd purchased almost $25,000 worth of human growth hormone in the period between August 2002 and January 2005, which was before this drug was officially banned.
It was stated by Fox Sports that Paul Byrd didn’t dispute the claims. In an interview he admitted taking human-growth hormone, which will be described in his upcoming book, entitled “The Free Byrd Project.” Byrd stated that he no longer uses the drug, according to Fox Sports.

The New York Mets are really picking up the pace in September. They have won 5 straight games are going to work to complete a back to back sweep. Lo Duca hit 7 RBI’s with two three run homers in the game against the Reds. The Mets won 11-7 in what is catcher Paul Lo Duca’s greates game ever. Carlos Delgado and Shawn Green each had 3 hits and of course who can forget Beltran’s 2 run homer. The Mets are going to do great in the post season and Mets tickets should be hard to come by, but I always get my tickets from Vivid Seats.

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.
