A week ago, he said the likelihood his truck would be ready for the Scott County Fair’s demolition derby was 50-50. Sunday, July 21, the odds had improved to 70-30. Corey Fehler is looking forward to crashing into someone. Just for fun. The New Prague resident is preparing a 1999 Ford F250 for the trucks category of the derby.

Tigers 7, Twins 2: Javy keeps cookin’, Tarik keeps dealin’
After Friday night’s stinkfest, the Tigers looked to right the ship with their ace on the mound. That they did, with a convincing 7-2 win on a warm Saturday evening.

The ninth-rounder from the Pacific Northwest was surprisingly hittable in a seven-inning outing a few days ago in Cleveland. But hey, he only gave up one run, and the last time I checked, the team that gets the most hits in a game doesn’t necessarily win. But overall, Skubal’s leading the league in ERA, is striking out almost 11 every nine innings, has a WHIP under 1, all that jazz.
