Umpire on Power Trip

I thought it was odd that Brian McCann got thrown out in last nights game. It seems to me the ump was just on a major power trip there!

After Davies issued a third-inning leadoff walk to Carlos Delgado, Brian McCann had a civil exchange with West, who promptly issued the soft-spoken catcher his first career [...]
