If that's the case, why did Jeter get put back on first base rather than second base. It look like Jeter was already at second base by the time Arroyo attempted to tag Rodriguez (after all, it was a slow roller that Arroyo was going to flip the ball to first base when he realized that Mienkiewtz (sp?) was off the bag - he then reached to tag A-Rod). Anybody see or got anything different???

In the case of offensive interference is it not the case that the ball is immediately dead? That being the case the ruuner(s) return to thier base at TOP.
Also don't you think that the 1st base ump was out of position based on the way the play was developing? I think he should and easily could have positioned himself in foul territory. If he did that then he could have made the call without assitance from th PU. IMO opinion all of this huddling looks bad. Although I am pleased that the right calls were made.
