This is a public service announcement to...um, announce that I am indeed alive and well. The problem was, however, that my computer was not. My hard drive recently crashed on me and I had to get it replaced, which left me without a computer for the better part of a month. Add to that life's craziness, plus the absence of major players in Bobby's life, and well...there you have it, the explanation for Bobby's absence. But fear not, my laptop is now alive and well, and spring training is here, which means Bobby will be back too. I can just sense your excitement from here.
