Cano has the range of an 80 year old man (or Bernie Williams).

Terrible call by the umps at 3rd on the play where Pudge was clearly out. Not sure how he can justify making that call. The throw beat the runner easily and the tag was apparently made. You have to call the guy out in that kind of situation.

Bad throw by Giambi when they had the guy in the run down. Granted, Johnson made a high throw to Giambi, but Giambi still should throw that guy out at 2nd. Cost them another run.

Not to me it did Kev. It was close enough where you need to call him out. The throw beat the runner by a lot and tags arent always seen by the umps. Thats common knowledge in baseball. When throws beat the runners and the tags are close enough, the runner is out.

Kinda of like when the shortstop gets his foot "close enough" to the bag when turning two.

Exactly. Baseball moves in split seconds and umps have to go by things like how quick the throw gets there. Cant always see the tag.
But in this case, especially after seeing the replay, I really believe that Pudge was tagged. Now maybe the umpire couldnt see the tag but he had to see the throw beat Pudge, and to me it was not clear enough that the tag was missed. No way. Bad call. Hope it doesnt make the difference in this game.
