The Cardinals have struck gold at bolstering their middle relief core
When you talk about the Cardinals bullpen, the attention immediately goes to Ryan Helsley, and deservedly so. Helsley is arguably the most effective closer in baseball, as he converted 31 consecutive saves without blowing a save, a franchise record.

Even Nolan Arenado’s struggles don’t change Cardinals big win in Rockies trade
Even with the St. Louis Cardinals climbing back into playoff contention after a slow start, the most remarkable part of that is that they've been able to do so with their two biggest offensive starts, corner infielders Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt, not looking anything remotely like themselves. Arenado hasn't...

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy Will Be a Bust
Many football fans were left shocked and scratching their heads when the Buffalo Bills traded down in the first round of the NFL Draft, with their rival the Chiefs of all teams. Chiefs fans rejoiced when this trade went down as the team was finally able to use first round draft capital on an elite receiving talent, and with Xavier Worthy’s record breaking 4.21 second 40-yard dash at the Draft Combine, on paper it seemed like a match made in heaven. Fans are hoping that Worthy will finally be the worthy successor to Tyreek Hill. After a handful of draft busts and arrests that promising receiver Rashee Rice has faced this offseason, Worthy has a prime opportunity to run away with the number one receiving role in Kansas City. However, I personally think that Xavier Worthy is not going to be the answer for the Chiefs receiving woes, and that he will be the next in line of first round receiving draft busts.

WIC Benefits Can Now Be Redeemed Through Online Order And Pick Up Through Hy-Vee App
Iowa Woman Infant and Children (WIC) has partnered with Hy-Vee to offer more convenient shopping for those enrolled in the nutritional program. The Iowa Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Special Supplemental Nutrition Program WIC is now available to purchase accepted items for online ordering and pick up. HHS started exploring the idea of advancing the program to participate in this new feature with a pilot program in a Des Moines store in February of this year. After working out the details to be as efficient as possible, the initiative expanded across Iowa, Minnesota, and Nebraska in early June. The new feature for the WIC program was made possible through a grant from the Center for Nutrition and Health Impact. HHS Director Kelly Garcia says, “This is yet another incredible example of a public-private partnership that will greatly benefit individuals receiving WIC benefits in our state. The goal of this program is to provide easier access and conveniences- and every parent of young children wants the convenience while balancing work and life.” WIC members can select qualifying food items online in the Hy-Vee app and enter their eWIC card numbers during checkout. The WIC program was established nationwide in 1974, celebrating 50 years of supporting mothers, children, and families in Iowa, assisting them to live healthier lives. WIC provides supplemental nutritious food, health care referrals, breastfeeding support, and nutritional education to pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women and infants through age five children who are at nutritional risk.

Ravens Pound Panther Pitching, Sweep Season Series From Pekin
Ahead of a round of stormy weather battering southeast Iowa Tuesday, the Hillcrest Academy Raven softball team used their bats to do the same to Pekin pitching in a 13-9 win over the Panthers in Kalona. The two squads rode the see-saw through the first two innings with Pekin jumping up 3-0 after their first at-bat and the Ravens answering with five in the bottom half. The Panthers countered with three again in the top of two to lead 6-5 before Hillcrest put a handful more on the board to take the lead back at 10-6. Three more Raven runs in the third extended the lead to 13-6 and while Pekin would close to 13-9 after the fourth inning, it wasn’t enough to complete the comeback in the weather shortened affair.
