“I don’t believe in my heart that all these deaths have been from the coronavirus. I believe it may have contributed to some of the deaths."

A gem from the article:

I was able to get a little peek at Astros practice today. Yeah I know the evil jerks who deserve all the virtual boos they’ll be getting.

I’m not so sure of their return to play plan. I suspect lots of players will be in and out of the lineup.
