February 13, 2012: Disturbing
I've been sitting here trying to think of something more pop cultury to type, but the only things sticking in my head are the disturbing entries this week for Spookymilk Survivor. I know some profoundly damaged people, apparently.
Hank Williams – Cold, Cold Heart + I Saw the Light
Well, alright! 50,000 watts of CH Week coming at you, from Monday to Sunday, right here on WGOM!

Loading... Australian League Championship Series: Game Two
Melbourne 3, Perth 2 in Perth (13 innings). Brad Harman singled in Josh Davies in the top of the thirteenth. Perth put runners on first and third with one out in the bottom of the inning, but could not tie the score. Davies had two hits and scored twice for Melbourne. Justin Huber drove in two runs. Three Melbourne relievers combined to pitch 8.1 scoreless innings: Bubbie Buzachero went 3.1, Andrew Russell pitched two, and Kevin Reese worked the final three to get the win. Mitchell Graham went 4-for-6 to lead Perth. Benn Grice took the loss, giving up the winning run in his third inning of work. Joshua Hendricks was 1-for-4 for Melbourne. The two teams are tied at one win apiece, with the deciding game of the best-of-three series to be played today.

Loading... Game 28: Knicks at Timberwolves 7pm
I dont have much to say about this. Linsanity has taken over, so Ricky Rubio has become a has been. The Wolves have been horrible turning the ball over the last few games, and combine that with poor shooting, it has led to some ugly basketball.
No local tv tonight, so that means Pek! is going to score 50
