The Hello, and welcome to episode 826 of the sleeper in the bus. It is Tuesday July 7th. I'm your host Paul Spoor.

0:25.0

joined this morning by Justin Mason. Justin good morning.

0:29.0

Good morning. How you doing my friend?

0:31.0

I'm hanging in there man. You know we are pushing forward. We're maybe going to get some baseball

0:38.8

But everyone has COVID.

0:47.0

It's true. This is like the worst sitcom ever.

0:56.7

Everyone has COVID with a laugh track. You know it has a laugh track. I just saw Eduardo Rodriguez is added to the list. Oh no, just, yeah, I mean, this is, we were talking about this before we, you know, got on air and I said like this fantasy

1:07.1

season is going to be a season of attrition. It's just going to be who can't, yeah, dip and dodge the most amount of COVID cases.

1:17.0

Yep, I absolutely believe that and you know who picks up the guys that are able to benefit from you know benefits such a terrible

2:18.4

MEQ and someone drafted Freddie Freeman on the one two turn and then two hours later it was

2:28.6

announced that not only does he have COVID but that he is symptomatic and really struggling.

2:34.0

Yes because that's the thing too we've got symptomatic versus as symptomatic

2:38.0

Joey gal is asymptomatic that's you know obviously better and but what if you get two three four guys that get it and they're

2:46.1

symptomatic so they could be out longer they can be dealing with it more it's it's a nightmare it really is and I I'm not 100% sure the season's going to go and I think it's going to go but I think it could easily get shut back down again.
