After watching us be 1-hit (no-hit after Ichiro's leadoff double) and watching Bedard continue his bizarre spree of either giving up a gopher ball or getting a strikeout, there was hope in the top of the 9th. the bottom of the order came up big, and we had bases loaded, 1 out, down by 2 with Ichiro and Figgins coming up. Groundout/lineout later and it's a 6-5 loss. Then I watch Sportscenter and see other guys on other teams hitting home runs, doubles off the Green Monster, gappers over the CF's head...and think, "man, a little bit of pop would be nice"
