MADISON COUNTY, Ill. - Major trash troubles in Madison County, Illinois, are linked to big trucks going up and down the highway. However, officials hope to follow in St. Charles County's footsteps to get a handle on the trash trouble.The numerous trash and garbage trucks that pass through Madison County each day on their way to the landfill are the main cause of the problem."Over a hundred trucks a day that come over from Missouri that transport trash from Missouri transit locations to the Roxana landfill," said Kurt Prenzler, board chairman for Madison County.

Elias Diaz, Ezequiel Tovar lead Rockies to win over Brewers

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:38:58 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...

CHICAGO (AP) — Tim Anderson is back, and he is looking to bring his usual positive energy to the Chicago White Sox.The All-Star shortstop also realizes his own limitations.“I’m just one guy. I’m one guy and I come to the ballpark every day to do my job,” he said. Anderson returned to the White Sox on Tuesday, part of a flurry of moves by the sputtering ballclub.Anderson and infielder Hanser Alberto were reinstated from the 10-day injured list.

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 ...
