Palladino: Mets’ Bobblehead Curse Is Going, Going…

Stretching a winning streak to a franchise record-tying 11 games is one thing.

Putting together their first-ever 10-0 homestand, which ended Thursday with a 6-3 win over the Braves, is another.

But 41-year-old Bartolo Colon tracking down a base runner on an unassisted pickoff? Uh, that’s unnatural.

Only one explanation satisfies that: much higher powers than athletic talent are working in the Mets’ favor these days.

One might only guess what outside forces have changed Terry Collins’ team from hapless to unbeatable as it heads off to Yankee Stadium for an early season Subway Series.
