Woohoo!- MLB Dugout Heroes in Wall Street Journal!

You need to log in to comment.

 

Gamescampus MLB Dugout on Wall Street JournalIts amazing that this article is written exactly in a way that we want to position MLBDH in the market: inexpensive alternative to sports console games.

This article will make sure to convince people who may still be doubtful about us

that our game is indeed a serious alternative to those expensive console games, not only for the price, but also for the quality. J

 

MLB Dugout Heroes has amassed over 75,000 downloads since its launch.”

 

“Jordan O’Brien, who describes himself as an avid gamer, regularly plays popular console games such as Halo and Madden on his Xbox 360. But when the Toronto, Canada, resident first played MLB Dugout Heroes earlier this year, he quickly became addicted, sometimes playing as much as three hours a night. Mr. O’Brien says with MLB Dugout Heroes, it’s easier to find people online to play against versus Microsoft Corp.’s Xbox Live, an online gaming and media service for the Xbox 360.”

The Los Angeles Dodgers‘ Manny Ramirez has been suspended 50 games after failing a test for performance enhancing drugs, according to a report the team’s Web site.

 

The announcement was made shortly after noon eastern time. According to the report, Ramirez says that the positive test came about because of medication prescribed to him by a doctor.

According to the report, Ramirez would be eligible to return around July 3, depending on the number of rainouts the team experiences.

Under Major League Baseball’s rules regarding performance-enhancing substances:

 

  • First offense results in a 50-game suspension
  • Second offense results in a 100-game suspension
  • Third offense results in a lifetime ban

 

The report said Juan Pierre would be the immediate replacement for Ramirez in left field and the team will likely promote rookie Xavier Paul from Triple-A Albuqueruque to replace Ramirez on the active roster.
