Re: closers etc

LaVelle E. Neal III has this story in today's Star Tribune:

Nathan might get an early call again in a pinch

Now I'm sure that Gardy must be on our list and read Paul's post
about how Trey Hillman used Soria.

One story I read a day or two ago said that in the Seattle loss, it
was the first time this year Nathan was brought in to pitch in the
eighth inning. Not true. He pitched the eighth in a loss in New
York (meaning it was the final inning for the Twins in the field
since the Yankees didn't bat in the eighth), and I think he may have
finished up in at least one other loss on the road. But I don't
think he's come into any tie games or games in which the Twins had
the lead before the eighth.

(Yesterday Brenda and I checked out Centennial Field in Burlington,
Vermont, and we will be going to a game there tomorrow night. It's
listed as a 1906 field, although I don't think all of it is that
old. I remember Paul saying how he sat in the concrete grandstand
when he was there for a game in 1994. The grandstand looks the
same. No benches. People just park their butts right on the
concrete. We have actual seats in the regular grandstand. Neat
place. Really tucked in off the street. It's adjacent to the
University of Vermont, and I think this is still the baseball
diamond used by the Catamounts. Beyond the left-field fence is a
soccer field. Beyond center field is Greenmount Cemetery, where
Ethan Allen is buried - not Ethan Allen the baseball player.)
