Highlight of my week: Watching Francisco Liriano throwing a no hitter for my Twins. Icing on the cake that it was against the White Sox. Hard to call them a rival of the Twins considering how lopsided the match-up has been the last 5 years.
Lots to share with you after missing this post last weekend.
