Major League Baseball games played Monday, June 11, 2007: There were only five games played yesterday in Major League Baseball. Two were interleague games. One was the regularly scheduled game featuring the New York Mets at the Los Angeles Dodgers. And two make-ups of games cancelled due to snow in April, one in the National League and the other in the American League.

Sadly, there were no players, coaches, or managers ejected on Monday, June 11, 2007, although Chicago White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski came close to being awarded the heave-ho in the top of the seventh inning in Philadelphia when he had words for home plate umpire Mike Everitt, who ruled that Pierzynski's check-swing went just a bit too far and thus constituted strike three and the third out of the inning. From where I was viewing the game -- on TV -- the ump's call appeared to be correct. White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen came onto the field to direct Pierzynski back to the dugout, and Guillen had a few less than heated comments for Everitt before heading back to the dugout.

With no ejections recorded on Monday, June 11, 2007, umpire fantasy league standings remain unchanged.
