Did anyone see the Yankees-Angles game on 10/20, and all the blown calls? I think that 2 or 3 of those bad calls were because the umpire, Tim McClellan, was just lazy, and not in the right position to make the call. The other one was due to poor eyesight.
Start with the poor eyesight call... Swisher out diving back to second. Good position, just missed the call.
Next, Swisher leaving 3rd early. Poor position by McClellan, and he is just shuffling around, not trying to move very fast to get in the right position.
Same thing with his call on Cano and Posada, bad position to see that Cano was not on the base, and not even moving around to try and get in the right position.
It's the League Championship Playoffs! Move a little!
