Triston McKenzie got the start Sunday and while he was effective, allowing just two runs on two hits in four innings with a pair of strikeouts, the reason he was sent to Triple-A was to help figure out his control issues. That was not corrected Sunday, as McKenzie walked a whopping seven batters in his four innings of work. Thankfully, he pitched well with runners on base and got out of some tough situations.

Impaired driving due to alcohol is one thing and being impaired under the use of marijuana is another. Just because marijuana was legalized in Missouri doesn't mean you can drive if you're high, or drive while getting high. Have you ever been sitting next to someone in traffic who was smoking cannabis causing you to avoid being around that car?

There’s a saying that goes: “To judge a place, look at the stray cats. If they are friendly, bold, and relaxed, you know it is a good town with good people.”. Alamedans have a complicated relationship with local stray cats. While some residents stop to coo and take pictures of the colonies scattered throughout the island, others take to Facebook to lament the unowned cats who tease their dogs and tear up their gardens. Merry Bates, Board President of Island Cat Resources and Adoption ( ICRA ), spoke to the Alameda Post about best practices for interacting with and living alongside these animals.
