Akinori Iwamura doubled home Jason Bartlett in the bottom of the fifth.

B.J. Upton then slothed into the batters box.

Upton hit a, get ready for it, lazy popup down the first base line, which Ryan Howard followed into the stands.

Howard, stretching his not-so-svelte-figure into the mass of humanity, made the catch.
Tampa was no-hit from that point on.
Substitute that cowbell for a glove and maybe, just maybe, Upton steps back into the box and smacks a 2-run homer.
It’s sad when fans miss their only real opportunity to alter the outcome of a game.
But I guess that’s what the cowbell is for.
