    The Twins rallied and defeated the Cincinnati Reds in dramatic fashion yesterday on the backs of Willingham and Mauer, with Josh homering in the top of the ninth against Aroldis Chapman and taking the game 4-3. The Twins closed out their NL road trip with an acceptable 3-3 record and return home for six games against AL Central opponents. Tonight, we'll see a pair of enigmatic starters in Liriano and Peavy. Peavy has returned to his former glory in 2012 and Liriano has been stellar in his past five starts, striking out over one batter per inning. Who will emerge victorious tonight?

      This is certainly not how I expected this game to start.

      Thanks, I agree, though if one insists on batting Butera, it should be 9th or 10th in the order.

      This feels good right now... feels.... normal (as in the not so distant past)... I love playing and beating the sox.

      Yes. It's been too long since the White Sox were the Twins' red-headed stepchildren. I miss those days.

      Are the Twins going to wear these M hats forever?

      Someone need to teach Revere not to jump for that ball. No reason, makes it more difficult and increases the risk of injury.

      Yes Dick, the Twins are lucky no 35' tall fan interfered with that one.

      I've noticed that the site occasionally hiccups and slows down for a moment. It usually clears up right away.

      So long as Liriano can continue to put up zeros, I don't mind him having a personal catcher. Butera's weakness as a batter seems minor compared with shutting out the White Sox (and giving Doumit some extra rest).

      That girl clearly just looked at Bert's groin.

      How about finding a personal catcher who doesnt suck?
