Loading... So, sean and I have been conversing and WGOM Radio is coming along nicely. It appears as though I have the recording and editing figured out, while sean is working on hosting and dissemination. After the jump is a rough idea of who has offered to participate in some way. Please add or make corrections in the comments. Continue reading WGOM Radio – The Setting Up
DOMINICAN LEAGUE
Aguilas 7, Cibao 1 in Cibao. Alexi Casilla started the game and singled in his only plate appearance. Wilkin Ramirez was 0-for-4 for Cibao.
PUERTO RICAN LEAGUE
Caguas 4, Mayaguez 1 in Mayaguez. Daniel Ortiz was 1-for-4 for Mayaguez. Nelvin Fuentes gave up a run on a hit in two innings for Mayaguez.
AUSTRALIAN LEAGUE
Canberra 16, Melbourne 7 in Melbourne. Sam Gibbons surrendered six runs (five earned) on six hits in three innings for Melbourne. Markus Solbach gave up a run on two hits and three walks in two innings while striking out two for Melbourne.
Perth 4, Sydney 3 in Perth. Luke Hughes was 0-for-2 with two walks and scored once for Perth. Jacob Younis was 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI for Sydney.
A loss for the Wolves last night would have been pretty bad, considering the opposition and venue. Overcoming that first half shooting is hard to do, though.

They are bad.
How bad are they? Well, last year the played the Timberwolves twice and lost both times. That was LAST YEAR. With that said, the Wolves, I believe, are roughly 13.2% better than last season. By my half baked calculations that means the Wolves should win by somewhere between 14-18 points tonight.
I think it is getting to the point where, as a team, the Wolves and their fans should start to put together realistic goals or expectations for the season. While I think a NBA title is a little hopeful and a Western Conference Final birth might just be wishful thinking, a playoff birthday is closer to a statistical improbability than a drug induced pipe dream at this point. I think the Wolves should dream a little bit bigger than just making the playoffs though. I think there is one goal the Wolves should aim towards as a litmus test to best judge the season. One goal that would mean as much to Kevin McHale as it would mean to David Kahn. A goal that would finally let Minnesota fans that things are turning around. This year the goal should be for Minnesota to have a better record than the Celtics.
Do it for Gerald Green and Theo Ratliff's expiring contract. Do it for Ryan Gomes and Bassy. Do it for the first round draft pick that turned into Wayne Ellington and Al Jefferson. Don't do it for Jonny Flynn though. That guy stinks so bad he should be on the Pistons. Alright, you can do it for Jonny Flynn, too.
