'Out' Rage at Fenway

(Jim Davis / Globe Staff)

Umpire Walks Himself Into Bad Position...
Then Blames His Bad Angle for Blown Call

Umpire Steals a Game from Boston
And Nava Didn't Do Himself Any Favors By Floundering on the Basepaths
Maybe Meals Should Get Banned Along with A-Rod & Co.?

"Molina blocked the plate and Nava�s foot lifted. But in the replays, you could clearly see Nava�s foot got under for a split second and then lifted, so I was wrong on my decision. From the angle I had, I did not see his foot get under Molina�s shin guard.� -- Umpire Jerry Meals... who was in good position to call the play, but shockingly put himself in a bad position to call the play
