August 11, 2009 - 11:20 pmIs unwavering optimism part of the trade, too? I'm beginning to fall deeper down into this state of Jays apathy into full blown depression.

August 11, 2009 - 11:49 pmi'm slightly comforted by the fact that my Rios figurine broke in a terrible figurine falling off the top of a tv accident.

August 12, 2009 - 12:00 amDear Blue Jay Hunter,
I would love to have your figurines of Alex Rios. I would like to put them next to my figurines of AJ Pierzynski, who like Rios, is one of my favourite players.
From a southside friend.

I can imagine that someone wanting a Corey Koskie bobblehead is a diehard fan.

August 12, 2009 - 12:09 amQJays, now that Rios is gone I don't think I could part with my figurines and bobbleheads. At least I can look at them and remember the good times that Rios gave us.

August 12, 2009 - 12:13 amI'd hold on to those puppies, though they would be an excellent addition to my giveaway collection. I'd put it right next to my Frank Thomas Bobblehead.

August 12, 2009 - 1:51 amSounds like you should start a collection of former Blue Jay bobbleheads. I think there's an Eric Hinske bobblehead floating around out there somewhere too.

August 12, 2009 - 3:32 pmThat Hinske bobblehead has to be huge. Biggest melon in MLB.

August 12, 2009 - 5:47 pmActually, I think there might be one bobblehead with a melon bigger than Hinske's – Kevin Mench.

August 12, 2009 - 11:46 pmOh, yeah. If anyone wants the Mench bobblehead, I have all 10,000 of them. Got them out of the dumpster — not a single person showed up to the game where they were giving them out.

August 15, 2009 - 11:21 pmQJays, just wait for the season when Mench hits 30 HR in Japan, and then you'll be a millionaire with all those Kevin Mench bobbleheads!
