He has certainly done things with his glove and his legs and his hustle (in the running hard to first sense, not in the Kevin Millar doesn’t shut up sense), but the bobblehead portrayed him with a bat. It might have been more endearing had they positioned him at his little locker demonstrating patience toward questions about when he’s going to start hitting instead. More lifelike, anyway.

Glad it was a good one for all of us, particularly your boy.

The last loss was an Ollie Perez start. But so was the fifth win. You gotta go where the fates (and the tickets) take you.

Will post future Two Boots info as we have it. Thanks for asking.

The Jason Bay Bobblehead doll is only 6 home runs behind the Real Jason Bay at the All Star break. Who would’ve figured that…

Hi Greg,

Well, our losing streak for Citi Field is at 1 and we have the dubious distinction of never ever seeing the Mets win at the new ballpark.

Of course, Saturday was our first trek to Citi Field but now we know why you had no intention of being there yourself – your psychic powers forsaw the 4-0 loss and you instead went on Sunday with the knowledge this insured extending the victory streak…., or was the thought of Mike Pelfrey on the mound too much of a gamble to put the streak on the line?

Greg — What would you do if you were still on this amazin’ streak, had tickets today and, say, Ollie Perez was given one more win-or-leave start? Would you go? You gotta nurture a streak like this, seems to me.

Also, for your out-of-town fans like me, who need to do some advance planning … do you know the date yet of the NEXT Two Boots get-together?
