Even in a league with a 99% vaccination rate, breakthrough cases on the Senators have now infected more than 40% of the roster.
I'm waiting for the radio ad on that one.
If only that was about the Senators in Washington DC.
either way...WINNING!...they got caught in their hypocrisy....
OH NOOOOOOEZ !!!!

Just vax harder, that’ll do the trick. Retards.
Young healthy athletes are “battling” the sniffles and can’t taste their food. Wow, how terrible.... /sarcasm

Great news.
