He Said What?

When Derek Jeter was called out attempting to steal third base with no one out, he asked third base umpire Marty Foster for a reason.

Jeter thought he was safe. The ball had beaten him there, but he moved his left hand around Scott Rolen's glove and replays showed he touched the bag before Rolen's tag.

"He didn't tag me," Jeter told Foster.

"He didn't have to," Foster said, according to Jeter. "The ball beat you."

Video of the play is here - it certainly looked like he was safe. Video: http://mlb.mlb.com/media/vide...ent_id=5436713

If he really said that, Foster really stepped in it.

Girardi ended up getting tossed after taking up the argument.
