As Mark Twain once quipped, "There are 3 types of untruths: lies, damned lies and statistics."

Here's why I think it gets crushed (some more)
1. minuscule sample size
2. Aricept is already a less than marginal treatment for Alzheimers
3. Hype/run-up over the past few months assumed better news than "not significant".
Full disclosure: No position.

Looks good at 13 million OS. Any concern for you about the 20 million shares coming due in August 2016?
CBAY getting absolutely hammered lately even as small bio recovers. Anyone know why?
The Mets aren't the first team to have a great season and a shitty world series.
Look at the bright side: from 52-50 they won their league.
Deals for Cespedes, Clippard and Johnson got them over the line in the regular season. Murphy and the rotation won them the pennant.
The Series showed the massive holes the team will need to fill before they can expect to win it all: defence, bullpen and baserunning.
You forgot to ask who had the better rotation.

I don't disagree with your assessment all in all. The Royals were stacked and played well. All credit to them for staying focused this season after coming so close last year. Theirs is a blueprint a lot of clubs will be studying closely this off season.
2015 season RIP.
Only a Royals fan could have enjoyed this series. I'm not a fan of the Mets or the Royals, but who wanted a bush-league series like this? It's hard to say "the Royals are the better team" because the Mets played so poorly. Fairer to say "the Royals played better than the Mets"....but then again, so did my kid's little league team.
LOL. I don't think Bruce Bochy would agree.
Not at all. Harvey was spectacular. This decision wasn't a vote of no confidence in Familia.
In game 3 he stuck with Thor and it worked.
I would be curious to know how much WS tickets are at other ballparks.
Last time they were printed in Milwaukee they were about 3 dollars fifty cents each. Behind the plate.
You're right about Familia. That 10th was sweet. Hero time tonight for one of the teams. Like to see Uribe get a shot.
NO doubt. Crap D again. No way a run comes across on that ground ball. Woesome
And Murphy has 7 home runs in the post season, but this series?
Moot point: Here comes Familia!
Think of it this way TC:
You leave Harvey in for the 9th and he loses: Who's going to blame you for not bringing in Byung-Hyun Familia?
You bring in Familia and he loses: It's gonna be a long, long winter
I hope he can go 9. My confidence in Familia is not too high in this series.
Yup. He should have been leaf-blown into the dugout. Thank god he didn't hit it on the ground; would have been 2 if not 3. Won't miss his bat or for that matter his "work" in the field. Not to mention how his injury delay effects Harvey....
And Murphy's was a DP ball. Lucky break,. Royals looking like the Mets!
Yup. No DP please
Clutch 6th for Harvey. That was tight- Mets have been up in close games only to see it disappear in the 6th/7th.
let's see if they can add to their total of 1 hit. Might be time to pinch hit the ace in the whole: CUDDYER!!!!!!!
Yup. The Mets have really stunk up the joint in the series. I was really hoping for a clash between 2 teams playing to their full potential, a 7 game series this year, but that's looking pretty slim unless Harvey and DeGrom can go the distance.
Hard to believe that Cespedes is a former gold glover...and the talk of signing Murphy to a big off-season contract seems to have diminished considerably as he plays closer to his professional norm in the series.
Still it would be nice to see them take it back to KC.
Appropriate ending to this one. Don't take it too hard - KC has been doing this to everybody!
They got 4 hits. Take conforto and young's wp out of the mix and you have zilch.... Looked to me like CY was very hittable tonight. Can't see how they're going to spring to life against Davis.
Yup. Too many gifts, too few hits.
Wow. I can't believe he got him on the 11th pitch!
Niese...... Can't Reed pitch 2 innings? Clippard? TC needs to study Bochys playback.
Should have yanked matz
Thanks. Enjoy the game
Any idea when VASO reports?
Well, you know Matz won't go 7 in game 4. Can someone in the Mets pen deliver 6 outs in the middle of the game? If so, the Mets have a great shot. If not, well we've seen what happens then.....
Flores!! What a play. Anyone else nervous as the beejeeezuss on that one? Wow!!
Could be the Mets night here after all with plays like that!
Lack of execution: Noah nowhere close to getting the bunt down, 2 runners stranded. Wasted opps.
With the pitch count running high, Syndegaard will be gone by the 7th. Niese? haha. Colonic? hahaha.
Mets have to build a bigger lead here. They haven't shown that they can win a close game late since LA.
Opened a position in TROV again. It's near its 52 week low. They released a very positive PR yesterday:
I especially like this quip:
"The study data are consistent with my early clinical experience with Trovagene's technology. After testing a patient twice using tissue biopsy, the information on progression was inconclusive, despite my suspicion of the emergence of the EGFR T790M mutation," stated David Berz, M.D., Ph.D., M.P.H., a clinical oncologist at the Beverly Hills Cancer Center. "Under the Company's Clinical Experience Program, I ordered Trovagene's urinary liquid biopsy test, which detected the emergent mutation in relatively high abundance. This result enabled me to identify a new targeted treatment option for this patient. I'm encouraged by my experience with Trovagene's technology, and will continue to use it in my practice
No doubt. The cost of blowing game 1 was always going to be high.
It's time to fall-back on the old cliche: one game at a time.
Yup. Look, the Mets are one Familia meatball away from returning home even. In game 2, Cueto was Bumgarner. Except better. KC did what they needed to do, protecting the home turf and getting the majority of the breaks, (which consistently go to the better team).
KC took care of business. Now it's gut-check time: can the Mets do the same?
I like their chances in game 3 with Syndergaard. He's been a force at home. And Ventura has been shaky and hittable.
You Mets fans have been spoiled, not just by the Cubs sweep, but by the magnitude of the sweep. With KC, it was never going to be as easy as the starting 4 nailing down 8 innings each and Murphy taking care of the O.
Agreed. No shortage of shoddy defense by the Mets in game 1. Lest we forget, Flores hasn't been playing down to his proven liability level yet this post season.
I thought Harvey pitched fine. No, he didn't have his best stuff, but in spite of that, like all great pitchers, he gave his team had an excellent shot at winning. Up 4-3 in the ninth is a game you MUST win. Once it goes extras, the better bullpen will prevail.
Look, the Mets scored a ton of runs against the Cubbies. That was an Murphy-led anomaly in my opinion. Yes, the Mets have put some curly numbers up late in the regular season, but their calling card is the 4-2 victory with their starter going 7 1/3. Then it's the pen. Amazing to think KC's pen stacks up so well even without Holland.
Yup. Catches win matches. Cespedes looked like Canseco out there today. And the bullpens? To my mind, that's where the series will be decided. So far, no contest.
KERX is one of many, many bio stocks that have sunk to multi-year lows. Check out the action on MACK and RYLP, which were both hammered yesterday after receiving FDA approval on their PFUFA days.
The bio sector has been under pressure from politicians (Clinton) and allegations of price gouging and corruption (VRX). Gone are the days when a bio-tech would shoot up 15-20% based on a PR announcing presentation at an annual conference.
The bio sector reminds me of the tech sector in 2001; it's possible bio-tech will turn it around and the IBB will shoot past 400, but I'm pretty happy to sit on the sidelines until I see some confirmation that the bears have left the sector.
I've dipped an oar back into energy. A starter of AXAS at 1.62.
LOL, I could only wish the Mets were my team! I'm a die hard Brewers fan...still smarting from the '82 series....
Agreed on the Cubs- they certainly over-achieved this year to get this far along. Their big guns (Lester and Arrieta) had to come through for them to have a chance against the Mets and they outright failed. I can't see Arietta duplicating his season next year. And Lester? Solid, but he's no Andy Petite in the post-season, as the Royals can attest.
The cool stat they mentioned on the TV broadcast was that in July the Mets were 52-50. Just goes to show that if you have the starters in place and a reasonable bullpen, a few key pieces can make the difference in October.
I'm thinking it'll be a fantastic series, Mets vs KC. The Royals field a strong playoff roster; they run, they field, their bullpen is top-notch and they can hit. If they get anything from their starters, it'll be a great match up.
I'd love to see Price take that KC series to a 7th game.
