This is the behavior that the Rays could not tolerate!

[Ryan Garcia @RyanGarciaESM]

I'm still shocked that Jose Caballero did that on 3-2 and I have serious concerns about how his decision-making could burn the team in a postseason setting

[Mike @mcain5188]

Another WhatsApp scammer!

I'll only say it once.This might be the fastest way to accumulate $3 million by the end of 2026:
$SANA (Sana Biotechnology) → $6 Must buy
$BEAM (Beam Therapeutics) → $28 Must buy
$EDIT (Editas Medicine) → $9 Must buy
$CRSP (CRISPR Therapeutics) → $45 Must buy
$NTLA (Intellia Therapeutics) → $30 Must buy
$PACB (Pacific Biosciences) → $4 Must buy
$DNA (Ginkgo Bioworks) → $2 Must buy

I often get asked why I don't turn this into paid content, but for me, sharing stock information is just a hobby.
I'm not financially struggling, so I choose to share it for free.

Bellinger slows down dramatically whenever he leaves yankee stadium!

[Rick @Rick12_85]

This idea that the Yankees are in a bad stretch because Volpe is playing SS and not because the team is missing Judge, Stanton, Grisham and Fried while Rice and Belli have slowed down a bit is truly moronic.

[Mike @mcain5188]

It's Beltran all the way. Puhols will never be a "yes man" and Cora was fired for being a constant critic of Breslow's roster construction. Neither will fit with Stearns!

[Jake Brown @JakeBrownLive]

I'd be fine with Albert Pujols as manager.

I think the order will be something like:

1. Alex Cora
2. Carlos Beltran
3. Albert Pujols

1 of those 3 will almost certainly manage the Mets next season. (if there is a season)

[Mike @mcain5188]

There is ZERO CHANCE the Mets can move that contract! LOL

[Phillip Feliz | Master Flip 🇩🇴 @Masterflip_]

Bo Bichette holds a no-trade clause and can opt out at the end of this season. The Mets should absolutely reach out and see if he’s open to joining a contender as it could boost his free agency value while giving us a chance to reload the farm.

Stacking the farm is the smart play here. That’s exactly how you avoid setting the organization back for years. #lgm

[Mike @mcain5188]

Cora was fired for criticizing Breslow's roster construction. Can you imagine what he gas to say about the Mets. He has no shot!

[SleeperMets @SleeperMets]

Rank these potential Mets managerial candidates for 2027 based on how much you’d want them to lead the team:

- Albert Pujols
- Carlos Beltran
- Alex Cora
- Rob Thomson

Dr. Eric Berg, Salesman! LOL

[Dr. Eric Berg DC @dr_ericberg]

Medical care increasingly centers on pharmaceuticals instead of natural methods. Treatments commonly address advanced dysfunctions while giving less attention to diet and sleep.

[Mike @mcain5188]

Puhols has no shot. He would never be a "yes man" for Stearns!

[MetsRewind @metsrewind]

Oh no!!! Now it’s going to be 3-4 solid months of debating who the next @Mets manager should be. 😩😡😠😤

[Mike @mcain5188]

And he has something to sell you for it! LOL

[Dr. Eric Berg DC @dr_ericberg]

Facial hair can be more than a cosmetic issue.

If it keeps returning, the trigger may be coming from inside the body.

Look beyond the surface to what may be driving the growth of facial hair.

Does this guy do any cardiology or just hang out on X all day!

[Dr Alo, DO, FACC @MohammedAlo]

🚨 Someone calculated that statins only add 4 days to your lifespan and millions of people believed it.
That number is not just misleading. It is statistically fraudulent.
And no, I am not being dramatic.

I am a preventive cardiologist.
I have seen what happens when patients stop their statins because of a viral social media post.
They come back with a heart attack.

🔬 Here is what that "4 days" calculation actually does:

It takes the entire general population, including young healthy people with zero cardiovascular risk, and averages the benefit across all of them.
When you dilute a powerful drug effect across millions of people who did not need the drug in the first place, the average looks tiny.
That is not science. That is statistical manipulation.

💓 Here is what the science actually says.

✅ 4S TRIAL (simvastatin): High-risk patients saw a 30% reduction in total mortality over 5 years.

✅ WOSCOPS (pravastatin): 31% reduction in coronary events in men with elevated LDL and no prior heart attack.

✅ JUPITER (rosuvastatin): 44% reduction in major cardiovascular events in patients with elevated CRP.

✅ HEART PROTECTION STUDY (simvastatin): 13% reduction in all-cause mortality. Over 20,000 patients. Not 4 days.

🩺 The "4 days" number comes from averaging across populations that include people who will never have a heart attack regardless of what they take.
That is like calculating the average benefit of a seatbelt by including people who never drive.
The math is technically correct.
The framing is intentionally dishonest.

⚠️ Who actually benefits from statins?

People with established cardiovascular disease.
People with LDL above 190.
People with diabetes and additional risk factors.
People with a 10-year ASCVD risk above 7.5%.

For those patients, statins do not add 4 days.
They add years. And they reduce the probability of dying from a preventable event.

🔸 The patients who stop statins based on viral misinformation are not the low-risk people being averaged into that calculation.
They are the high-risk patients for whom the drug was prescribed in the first place.

A patient who stays on their statin after a heart attack reduces their risk of a second fatal event by 25% over the next 5 years.
That is the difference between attending your grandchild's graduation and not.

❤️ Bottom line:

The "4 days" claim is not a scientific finding. It is an averaging trick applied to the wrong population.
Statin trials cover hundreds of thousands of patients across decades of follow-up.
If you have cardiovascular disease, elevated LDL, or a high ASCVD risk score, talk to your cardiologist before you stop any medication because of something you read online.
The question is no longer whether statins work. The question is whether you are in the population that needs them.
Are you willing to bet your life on a calculation designed to mislead you?

[Mike @mcain5188]

It is notable that Bellinger falls below replacement level away from yankee stadium!

[Yankeesource @YankeeSource]

The Yankees beating Skubal and then losing games to the horrible Red Sox is quite a swing. Small sample madness.

[Mike @mcain5188]

Command is the key. Yankees don't need Doval 2.0!

[Yankeesource @YankeeSource]

Seeing some good signs from Lagrange in recent appearances. He’s definitely on track for a bullpen debut barring any setbacks with his command.

[Mike @mcain5188]

Delusional!

[Foul Territory @FoulTerritoryTV]

David Stearns: "I think we're going to continue to give this team time to prove that we can get back in this in a very legitimate sense."

(Via: @SNYtv)

[Mike @mcain5188]

Zero!

[SleeperYankees @SleeperYankees]

What’s the % chance the Yankees bring back Jazz Chisholm Jr. next season?

[Mike @mcain5188]

They need to make sure that Schlittler isnt spent by October!

[Bobby Milone @BobbyMilone29]

Sherman

"The Yankees would never say it publicly, but Fried had his greatest workload ever last year and if he heals well, they will not mind that he will be fresh for the most vital games."

[Mike @mcain5188]

FO needs to start limiting Schlittler's innings or he will have nothing left for October!

[Bobby Milone @BobbyMilone29]

I know it's to give Cole a break

BUT....

Let's other teams' scouts take another look at him

OR

Lets the Yankees FO evaluate him further to maybe consider moving either Weathers or Warren

[Mike @mcain5188]

Exactly!

[Gina Muscato @GinaMuscato]

There’s no point in getting Skubal unless you solidify that Yankees bullpen. Period.

[Mike @mcain5188]

The guy that hit the HR tonight is a stud and he hit a pretty good pitch. Nice quality start by Weathers.

[Yankeesource @YankeeSource]

Good Weathers is unhittable and bad Weathers is Home Run Derby. Will he find the middle ground?

[Mike @mcain5188]

Hopefully they don't forget that they lost the division last year in the 1st 120!

[Bobby Milone @BobbyMilone29]

Can't look at this team with June 16th eyes but Aug 16th eyes

God willing Fried Judge Stanton and Grisham are all back

They added Jeffers+1/2 RPs and Lombard is playing SS

Remember the Yankees FO believes the last 40-50 games are the most important part of the season

[Mike @mcain5188]

Judge at DH and Dominguez in RF has always been the future!

[Yankeesource @YankeeSource]

Dominguez looks better in right than left. Less mechanical, better reads, and arm strength can play up there.
