Marty Foster's call at 3rd base today

Marty Foster called Derek Jeter out at 3rd base on a steal attempt. F5 had the ball waiting at the base for him. F5 did not apply a tag. Jeter cried like the little biatch he is, and blasted the umpire in the media. Gammons, the professional TOOL, and John Kruk, ex-rat, agreed with Jeter. Winfield told it like it is, that if the ball is waiting there, you're out whether tagged or not.

Question: How does everyone call this play in your games?

I make the "expected call when the ball beats the runner by a significant amount, and the tag is waiting at the bag. You can make all the pretty slides you want, but you are out. Now, if it's really close, and you make a pretty slide and avoid a swipe tag, that's different. You have made an athletic move, and beaten the fielder, and are therefore safe. What are your thoughts on this?
