Ejections in Chicago and Miami! While I was attending this afternoon's Eastern League AA game between the Altoona Curve at the Reading Phillies (no ejections occurred), there were three ejections in Major League Baseball games being played this afternoon.

In Chicago, where the White Sox hosted the Cubs, first base umpire "Cowboy" Joe West ejected White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen in the top of the eighth inning after the Cubs had loaded the bases with none out. According to MLB.com, "White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen was ejected in the top of the eighth inning by first-base umpire Joe West for arguing a fielder's interference call. The White Sox appeared to have a double play after a series of baserunning mistakes by the Cubs, but umpires ruled that shortstop Juan Uribe interfered with runner Angel Pagan." The Cubs managed to score one run that inning and went on to win the game by a score of 3-0. You can access the box score at this link, while wraps from MLB.com are available here and here.

And in Miami, where the Florida Marlins hosted the Minnesota Twins, home plate umpire Larry Young ejected both Twins right fielder Michael Cuddyer and Twins manager Ron Gardenhire after Cuddyer struck out to end the top of the fourth inning on a called third strike. You can view related photos here and here. The Twins won the game by a score of 7-4. You can access the box score at this link, while wraps from MLB.com are available here and here.

Credit Larry Young with two ejections and Joe West with one ejection, and adjust your Umpire Fantasy League standings accordingly.
