Angry Aurorans and Denverites on social media poked fun at the news media Friday as more information came out about Venezuelan gangs on the Front Range. Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman posted on Facebook that the city will use court orders to shut down additional apartment complexes that have been infiltrated by the gangs. It seemed to contradict comments made by Gov. Jared Polis, who said the gang problem was a figment of Aurora council member Danielle Jurinsky’s imagination.

Atlanta had won nine of its previous 11 games and closed to within five games of first place. The Phillies erased a 4-0 deficit Thursday thanks in large part to Nick Castellanos' go-ahead two-run homer in the seventh inning.

The six-time Super Bowl champion head coach, admitted that the new kickoff is "pretty hard to get used to" before he offered his alternative to the new rules that include the ball being placed on the returning team's 30-yard-line if the ball is kicked into the end zone.

Ramirez went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases and two runs scored in Friday's 10-8 win over the Pirates. It's been a memorable month for Ramirez, as the do-it-all third baseman is batting .279 (29-for-104) with six home runs, 14 steals and 17 RBI over 28 contests in August. With his two steals Friday, he matched his career high in a season at 34, a mark he previously reached over 157 games in 2018. Ramirez is slashing a strong .276/.333/.531 with 33 homers, 104 RBI, 98 runs scored, 31 doubles and a triple over 132 contests this year, and with a full month to go, a 40-40 campaign is not out of the question.

Don Hall is an avid snowmobiler, but instead of heading for the hills each winter in search of deep powder, he takes an older snowmachine to lower elevations nearer the snow line. There’s a reason the Riverton resident prefers the lower zones despite the rocks, fences and sage most riders avoid: That’s where the coyotes are.

Wyoming allows snowmobilers to run down wildlife. Despite global outrage, it may stay legal.

With hot temperatures and most of the state under drought conditions as August gets under way, three wildfires are burning across Wyoming. The Pleasant Valley, Leeds Creek and Clearwater fires are burning more than 30,000 acres.
