MADISON COUNTY, Ill. - Major trash troubles in Madison County, Illinois, are linked to big trucks going up and down the highway.

"Sometimes the tarps are not placed properly, and sometimes trash falls out from those trucks, it’s not intended.” Trending: No standing, sitting or walking on roadways, St. Louis County bill says Prenzler said IDOT does what it can, but it’s time for some new ideas."Well, we looked over the river and what MoDot does.

Elias Diaz, Ezequiel Tovar lead Rockies to win over Brewers

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:35:15 GMT

Elias Diaz has been the Rockies’ rock.The veteran catcher’s excellent season hasn’t received a lot of attention, what with injuries to Rockies pitchers and the club’s poor start. But he shared the spotlight with rookie shortstop Ezequiel Tovar Tuesday night in Colorado’s 3-2 victory over Milwaukee at Coors Field.“Offensively, for sure,” manager Bud Black said when asked if Diaz is playing at an All-Star level. “This is reminiscent of his second half in 2021. The average is high, the on-base (percentage) is high and I still think there are more homers in there.“He’s catching great. … I think ‘Elie’ is becoming more comfortable and confident with his receiving, his blocking, his game-calling. He’s got a canon and I think that’s showing up in some of the caught-stealing numbers.”Diaz, how batting .330 to lead all big-league catchers, hit a solo homer in the fourth and then drove in the go-ah...

I’m one guy and I come to the ballpark every day to do my job,” he said.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:35:15 GMT

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Tyler Wells was just hoping to hang around long enough to save the Baltimore bullpen, and maybe give the Orioles’ hot-hitting lineup a chance to get them back in the game against the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday night.“Whenever I say there’s no quit in this team,” Wells said later, “there’s no quit in this offense.”That was evident by the fourth inning, when Ryan Mountcastle hit a two-run homer to help the Orioles wipe out an early three-run deficit with a five-run outburst. Mountcastle added another two-run homer the next inning and finished with five RBIs, helping the Orioles to an 11-7 victory over the Royals — and a 10th consecutive series-opening win.“Just a great game offensively,” Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said. “Mountcastle was a huge part of our lineup.”He wasn’t the only part, though. Adley Rutschman had four hits and an RBI, James McCann had three hits and also drove in a run, and the Orioles finished with 15 hits to go ...
