Folks, I figured out Bobby's slump...
It's my fault. I used to sing "Bobby you are the greatest evah!" and other such encouraging stuff a couple years ago when he came to the plate and typically he would do something better than striking out. I stopped doing that when the season ended. I remembered that just now and started signing just before Bobby made contact and lined to third. I feel really shitty for letting the Sox, Bobby, and you all down.
Rest assured, next at bat, i'll be singing Bobby's praises.
