    The big news of the weekend was that Francisco Liriano was traded for two White Sox players. Fan outrage and then the grief process followed. Whether you like it or not, Francisco is done and the Twins now have Pedro Hernandez and somebody named Escobar.

    The other news of the weekend was that the Twins beat the tar out of the Cleveland Indians in a three game set, scoring double digits in two of the games. Excellent pitching performances were the calling card of the weekend as Twins starters went deep into games and stymied the Indians offense all weekend.

    Tonight, the Twins host the White Sox (but no, you-know-who isn't pitching yet) as Cole De Vries takes on Jose Quintana. The Sox swept the Twins just last week but after their dominating performance against Cleveland, the Twins surely want revenge. Can they do it? What do you expect from De Vries tonight and can the Twins get to Quintana? Join the discussion below and tell us about it!

      It would be damned fun to cause Sox fans some much deserved anxiety with a sweep. Go Twins!

      I'd be down with a sweep, but more important to me is a victory on Tuesday. This is where Drew Butera is going to bring his real value. I hope he held a 2 hour class today Instructing the Twins position players on how to attack Liriano when they are at the plate... this should be followed by another 2-4 hour class tomorrow leading up to the game. Yeah, I get that the Liriano trade subject has been beat to death, but it seems obvious that a majority of TD Participants did not like the trade (me included). The fellas need to muster up something special tomorrow and destroy and devour Liriano's start. This is the hair of the dog to those of us who are hung over from the Liriano trade. I am pretty sure we deserve this outcome.

      Did you know he's (lower voice and slow down foe emphasis) "two. Hundred. Fifty. Strikeouts."

      Doubt. Danny's got a long ways to go to match Trevor in productivity.

      I think Plouffe is just fine. Valencia is playing for his future in the MLB at this point. I never want to see someone fail so hopefully he does well and the Twins can trade him for something this offseason.

      I would rather have Danny around on the bench to hit lefties than Butera on the bench to do nothing.
