Mets are 11th in runs scored.
https://www.mlb.com/stats/team/runs
11th in OBP.
10th in OPS.
Your hitters ain't covering your pitching which explains why 13 games back.
Boone and Blake are idiots by letting him pitch in the 7th. But that wasn't what cost the Yankees the game. Right now they can't hit for crap.
Boone let Gil go one inning more than he needed. But that is Boone and Blake mismanaging the pitchers. You want Gil out of the rotation but you have no replacement.
Volpe is still young and learning and he and DJ did screw up on Friday night.

Handing out get out of jail cards for free while the taxpayers write the check. LMAO!
In Italy, pharmacists take the view that doctors exist to diagnose ailments, and pharmacists exist to prescribe the appropriate meds. I wouldn't say they're wrong.
I would.
The one month my son had to ration his Vyvanse on weekends he couldn't focus for crap. He is a manager and trainer at Fedex which right now is the perfect job for him since every day something new pops up. I can assure you after all the research I have done he definitely has ADHD. When he was young I was skeptical until we took the Connors test and saw the results.
I'm sure it is over diagnosed but that was never the case with him. My issue is with the cheaters as I posted about and have driven up his costs though he can well afford it. When he was on my wife's healthcare plan his script was costing us $150 a month for 60 50 mg pills. Now he needs to pay double out of pocket for 2 scripts of 70 and 30.
My problem is how does Optum Rx get to deny a script from 2 different doctors and cutting the script in half with zero concern for the employee. And how does the FDA allow for the bogus scripts to get written so the generic is no longer available?
BTW next time you see a Fedex driver ask him what he ships the most of. It's good for a stock tip.

Anthony Rizzo's reaction to third Ben Rice home run shows he's ideal Yankees teammate
Fire us up. Sportsmanship!

And Rizzo is all class.
He played first base and Ben Rice is not Lou Gehrig yet.
Mets runn diff is +4. They may get on base but they are not scoring runs.
Right now Gil is a much better pitcher than Severino. If the Yankees had a legit pitching coach I'm sure he could figure it out.
As for Volpe he was much better than the previous leadoff hitter. Granted he has his ups and downs. I don't like people who kick players when they are in a slump but that is just me.
Torres is fair game however.
Companies such as Optum RX and CVS are hired by companies who offer prescription plans for the sole purpose of reducing costs. So they quote their own formulary experts to dispute the scripts and override the patient's doctors.
His doctor knows how the game is played and their pharmacy expert wrote 2 scripts for 70 and 30 that the plan couldn't deny.
My son was fortunate he had a good pediatrician that recognized the problem and after numerous tests as I mentioned prescribed Adderall which allowed him to excel through grammar and high school. Once he was old enough he started seeing a psychologist to understand the problem.
Along the way I continued to learn more and more about ADHD and pretty much understand the causes now.
My only suggestion today is for parents to pay more attention to their kids. I coached youth baseball for 10 years and could tell the kids who had ADHD and ADD.
Our son takes 100 mg a day of Vyvanse. My wife retired this year and he went on his company's health plan and the geniuses said he only needed 50 mg a day even though his 2 doctors had submitted scripts for 2 50's. So his doctor wrote 2 scripts one for 70 and one for 30. The formulary geniuses had no problem with that. He took 50 mg a day for a month and it was affecting his work. Now things are back to normal. The generic Vyvanse is $7 a script but Vyvanse is $150 a script. So he pays the $300 a month as a cost of doing business which he can well afford.
But the FDA is the culprit since they won't raise the allocation for the generic and they don't track doctors who are simply pill pushers. My son knows better than to sell his pills since he does need them and I have no pity on anyone who does since they are just gaming the system.
MLB has also banned adderall etc but players get exemptions when they claim they have ADHD.
Right now I couldn't tell you one plant from another except some of the plants are cherry tomatoes and some aren't. They are all thriving and we're waiting to pick the red ones. Come August we'll be gone for 2 weeks to Cape Cod and hopefully the kid will keep watering them.
And why is this guy playing CF?

Mets lost 14-2 to the Pirates and they have lost 3 in a row. Your lead off hitter is batting .244 and your clean up hitter is batting .245.
Iglesias is batting 7th and hitting .339 and Bader is batting last and batting .267.
And you're whining about Volpe who is in a slump.
Want to compare Severino to Gil?
I'll take Gil.
And congrats you mentioned DJ again.
Who was leading off before Volpe?
This was the first year by building the raised bed and filling it with mulch and gardening soil. Not sure we did a lot of homework on the plants and my son bought the peppers so that's on him. lol.
We bought the plants from Home Depot which is probably the last place we should have gone to. Next year we'll hit the farmers market
And the Boeing Starliner saga continues,
Yes, the Starliner Is Stuck in Space
NASA has sent hundreds of people into space since 1961. Doing that is hard, but for an agency like NASA, it is supposed to be as routine as one can expect.
That makes the Starliner saga of the last several weeks all the more troubling. On June 5, Boeing sent two NASA astronauts, Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, to the International Space Station aboard its new Starliner spacecraft. It was the first time the vehicle had ever ferried humans into space — after years of developmental delays caused by design and testing problems. This mission was supposed to be a moment of redemption for the company’s space program as well as its larger reputation.
But Boeing can’t catch a break. Helium leaks were detected soon after Starliner made it to orbit. Upon approach to the space station, five of its thrusters started to behave aberrantly. While the crew made it to the space station safely, a planned eight-day stay has stretched to 26 days and counting. NASA and Boeing say they are still trying to discern what caused the thruster issues — and, more important, ensure Starliner can safely bring back the astronauts.
That is, of course, the prudent move. The Challenger and Columbia space shuttle disasters could have been prevented by more thorough checks. But it’s one that leaves Williams and Wilmore stuck in space.
Now, NASA and Boeing object to that kind of characterization; they have emphasized that in an emergency, the astronauts can take the spacecraft home. But if the pair can’t come home yet, because of circumstances outside their control, and there’s no timetable for when they could return, that seems to fit the very definition of being stuck.
This isn’t how NASA’s new era of human spaceflight was billed when Starliner was first announced. NASA wanted to elevate the private sector: For its new partners, it picked a newcomer, SpaceX, and a seemingly dependable veteran, Boeing. But the veteran is the reason Williams and Wilmore are having to adapt to new routines hundreds of miles above their homes on Earth.

For someone with ADHD you can definitely see the signs if you have done your homework and taken a legitimate test for it as I noted.
Concerta is a poor substitute for Adderall as well as Ritalin.
Sorry about your son. Sounds like he was mis-diagnosed from the beginning and he needs to be careful if he attempts to wean himself off of it my himself.
We have relatives that live in MD and after all the years of heartache we're happy the Orioles are winning. And next weekend they'll be playing the Yanks. Which right now looks like an easy win as well.
And lost again to the Red Sox while the Orioles won.
I'm starting to like the Orioles.
In the mornings I now check first thing to see if the Orioles lost.
This is nothing new and the guy is a johnny come lately since he thinks he may have been screwed by his CC processor. How much time do you think he needs.
You are citing one parent's experience as if she was an expert. And I'll add I am not but I have done my homework.
So far, I’ve been fairly lucky. My ADHD child takes quick-release Ritalin, what I consider an “old school” medication. We’ve tried them all, literally all of them, and this is the one that seems to work best.
Ritalin is not a replacement for Adderall. Adderall is a replacement for Ritalin since it is a better drug.
My son took some adderall in school when someone offered him some. Then he played the game like countless others.
So your son gamed the system to benefit himself when he did not need Adderall to begin with. And now you are complaining because of the Adderall shortages and he had to take ritalin.
No they throw the manager out when you heckled. Thanks!
His 4th was on the 1st.

You missed the party. He served tofu burgers and veggie burgers.
LOL. I'm not sure which ones we bought since they have no many varieties now. My FIL was a much better grower and he would save seeds and plant them the following season. The problem is come early August his plants would die off and he'd dig them up and plant some fall crops. He had a wall of canning jars in his basement and we'd shop there all winter long.

F is like a ship lost at sea. Someday they'll figure out how to get back to port. I've owned it off and on since it traded at a buck and it has paid for 2 new Fords. I now own 3 including the Fusion
My cost basis for ARM is in the $70s. They benefited when NVDA split and it looked cheaper.
We close early on July 3rd so the Wall Street crowd can make it out to the Hamptons for the 4th. Our Canada Day for you which was on the 1st.
