Extreme bias by the people who accuse the umpires of rooting for the Yankees, yeah. The same umpire called Swisher out for leaving early when he didn't. Again, give me a break.

As for that 3rd base non-call, the only thing I can think of was that he was behind the 3rd baseman AND Posada so he might not have seen that Cano was off the base. However, he should have asked for help.
