From Royals pitches to bat evictions, August is packed! Don't miss the scoop on Move-In Monday, legal thrills, and more!

August has rolled in hot and heavy, starting with a bang for our Kansas City Royals. Pitcher Brady Singer caught everyone's eye with his third consecutive start going seven full innings, giving up just three runs. Interestingly, all those runs happened in the second inning, proving that even pros can have a rough patch! For those of you more into the day-to-day grind, mark your calendars for Monday, August 5, 2024. That's when downtown residents participating in Move-In Monday can place their trash and recycling carts out starting at 6:30 a.m. for daily collection. Get ready to declutter and recycle like a champ! And hey, did someone say bats? Yes, those pesky but protected creatures are now fair game to be shooed out of your homes. From May through July, they're left undisturbed, but come August, it's evict-a-bat season. Finally, let's not forget the legal drama and sporting heroics rounding out the news. Disciplinary actions on August 1 saw the Florida Supreme Court handing out some hefty penalties to 13 attorneys. Meanwhile, US Men's Cerebral Palsy (CP) National Team head coach Stuart Sharp announced a 17-player roster for an upcoming training camp. Fun fact: Bats can eat up to 1,200 mosquitoes an hour, making you wonder whether you really want to kick them out! And did you know the Royals’ mascot, Sluggerrr, has been energizing crowds since 1996? Talk about a hit!
