Twins fall to Red Sox once again as bats wake up way too late

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:33:17 GMT

After appearing to turn the corner last week with a series win over the Toronto Blue Jays, the Twins followed it up with a series sweep over the Milwaukee Brewers.That suddenly feels like a lifetime ago.The latest setback came on Tuesday night at Target Field as the Twins suffered a 10-4 loss to the Boston Red Sox. They have lost five of their past six games and their lead in the AL Central continues to dwindle.Even though Bailey Ober got tagged with the loss on this particular night, it’s hard to blame him too much. He pretty much would’ve had to be perfect given the way the Twins swung the bats for most of the night.That wasn’t the case as Ober gave up a pair of solo home runs in the fourth inning, serving up a slider that Adam Duvall demolished, then hanging a fastball that Carlos Arroyo annihilated.Meanwhile, the Twins never really threatened to score in the early stages, their best chance coming in the fifth inning when Carlos Correa struck out swinging with R...

This was part of a company’s plan to decommission the Indian Point Power Plant. Sponsor of the bill, Assemblywoman Dana Levenberg debated on the floor for an hour and a half before it passed. Levenberg says this method of disposing of radioactive chemicals into our rivers has been done for years, but it’s time for a change. "We want to make sure that we don’t take advantage of our beautiful Hudson river to dump radiological waste in that has the potential to impact people's health, biotia, and anything else in the Hudson River, and that we don’t take advantage of our beautiful natural resources in a way a...

You Paid For It: Getting answers for Affton residents plagued by flooding

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:33:17 GMT

AFFTON, Mo. - Affton residents on Hannover Street are getting slammed repeatedly by flooding. They contacted FOX 2 to get answers about whether a buyout is in their future."In the current situation, we have a ceiling, if you will, qualification level of $3.7 million in damages before FEMA ever comes into play," said St. Louis County Councilman Ernie Trakas. "We never reached that this time, so federal funds are not an option for the county to apply for or create an avenue for residents to apply for to affect buyouts. That’s main reason is there’s no money for buyout."Homeowners are not too thrilled about that."I would have loved a buyout. They’ve tried every other fix, and I don’t know what else it could be," said Susie Reuter. How many Missouri bridges need to be repaired or replaced? Depends who you ask Trakas said the county government stepped up with dumpsters and emergency workers when the last big flood hit. However, he said had another idea."Let's take a look at MSD.
