Disappointing outing for one of the ex Diamond Heels on the mound as his bullpen blows what could have been another win for him this season. Two of the other three Heels didn’t play for their team and the performances from the players in Triple and Double A were not much better, as some were off, some did not get to see the field and the ones that didn’t might have thought it better not to. All of this, and much more, on this edition of the “Heels in the League” (MLB) for the games of June 11, 2009. So, sit back and relax as you check out the games from both the MLB and the MiLB.
