Jays Roundup - Some Say She's From Mars

Or one of the seven stars
That shine after 3:30 in the morning
WELL SHE ISN'T

Only one Jays item today, so in addition we have a piece about last night's controversy.

1. "Jay days could be over for Woodward" by Allan Ryan:
   
   
   Chris Woodward, his opportunity come and gone with the Blue Jays, has become a free agent rather than accept an assignment to Triple-A Syracuse.
   
   Woodward, who spent 10 seasons with the organization after the Jays made him a 54th-round pick in the 1994 first-year player draft, was the team's starting shortstop for a second straight April but missed most of May with hamstring problems and eventually lost his job to Chris Gomez.
   
   
   
2. "Interference" by Craig Burley:
   
   
   Last night, in the bottom of the eighth inning of Game Six of the New York-Boston ALCS, Alex Rodriguez intentionally interfered with Bronson Arroyo as he attempted to make a tag on Rodriguez at first base.
   
   I'm not particularly interested in the factual matters behind the call; it may well be that someone utterly degraded and diseased by Yankee partisanship could see Rodriguez's action differently. What I am interested in is the legal circumstances behind the act of calling A-Rod out and bringing Derek Jeter back to first base, when he clearly would have made it safely to second base were it not for the umpires' call.
