Congress OKs $1.9T virus relief bill in win for Biden, Dems
By ALAN FRAM Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress has sent President Joe Biden the landmark $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill. The House approved the bill Wednesday over solid Republican opposition in a vote that gives the new president and Democrats a victory just seven weeks after he took office. Biden tweeted that “help is here” and said he would sign the bill on Friday. The 628-page measure represents Democrats’ effort to bridle the catastrophic pandemic and revive the enfeebled economy. Republicans say the measure is bloated, crammed with liberal policies and heedless of signs the dual crises are easing. The Senate passed the measure over unanimous Republican opposition four days ago.

Walk said that such games are good for a young team as far as building a winning atmosphere.
Walk also talked about the recent performance of Steven Brault, the stars-to-be on this Pirates roster, and the more conservative approach to the remainder of spring training.
