Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 04:19:16 GMT

ST. LOUIS - Nearly one month removed from the trade deadline and with nearly one month remaining this season, the St. Louis Cardinals have hit one of their biggest skids in a disappointing campaign.The Cardinals have lost 10 of their last 12 games and bring a four-game losing streak into Tuesday. The latest loss, which spoiled one of Adam Wainwright's best opportunities for career win No. 199, puts the Cardinals 20 games under the .500 mark. It's been almost three decades since a Cardinals team fell that far back. That last happened late in the 1995 season. Why Bob Barker did not play for the St. Louis Cardinals Just how ugly has this stretch been for the Cardinals? They're only averaging around 2 runs per game and giving up around 7 per game in their last dozen contests. The Cardinals are in a tough spot when it comes to measuring performance. On one hand, the team traded away several veterans to stock the farm system and give younger players more opportunities, so some regressi...

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 04:19:16 GMT

Colorado authorities are intensifying their crackdown on traffic express lane rule violators, deploying more roadway surveillance technology and shifting from warnings to $75 civil penalties in an effort to improve highway safety.The surveillance systems including sensors, cameras and tracking software detect violations and identify driver transgressors who cross the painted white lines separating express lanes from other lanes.

Dangerous Toys Come Out to Play

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 04:19:16 GMT

Dangerous Toys Come Out to Play: Austin rockers Dangerous Toys, as frontman Jason McMaster points out during the show, haven’t performed at the Whisky in quite a few years. This venue plays host  to a lot of bands from the ’80s hair/sleaze scene — it remains the spiritual home of that music. It’s a party club for nostalgia hounds. But there’s no doubting the fact that, when Dangerous Toys rolled into L.A. this week, they weren’t fucking around.They look great, first of all. Less big hair and bandanas, more beards and sunglasses — they’re sporting a biker rock look, akin to the likes of Little Caesar.McMaster has long had one of the most underrated voices in rock, and he’s also a superb frontman. Funny and charismatic, he likes to throw anecdotes out between songs and play with the crowd a little. There was a charming moment at the Whisky when he thought he recognized the woman who discovered Dangerous Toys and pulled her on stage...

First Look Inside: Blossom & Root opens in Danville

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 04:19:16 GMT

Danville’s eagerly awaited, veggie-forward Blossom & Root will open it doors on Aug. 30, offering the Tri-Valley’s first upscale restaurant menu to showcase vegan fare.It’s a move six years in the making, says owner Susan Vergilio, whose daughter inspired their entire family to go vegan. The only problem with that lifestyle change? There weren’t many restaurant options at the time where their family could dine out. So Vergilio, whose background is in chemistry and teaching, set out to change that, learning not only how to create a menu of delicious, high-level dishes — the executive chef is Jen Sopinsky — but how to open and run a restaurant.Blossom & Root is located at 411 Hartz Ave. in downtown Danville. It is the first entirely vegan restaurant in the Tri-Valley area.
