At least they scored three runs for you today, Shark. Too bad you had the Keystone Cops playing defense behind you for the first two innings.

THE THREE HEROES:
- Superhero / Hero tie: Starlin Castro and... Darwin Barney? Okay, who's screwing around with the teleprompter?
- Sidekick - Justin Grimm. Benefactor of the offensive ineptitude.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Big Goat - Welington Castillo. Brutal day at the plate, including the inning-ending double play in the third with two men on.
- Goat - Emilio Bonifacio. You are not Anthony Rizzo. Please do not attempt to bunt for a hit.
- Kid - Nate Schierholtz. Hey, give him credit. At least it was a liner to second this time.

Castro creeps ahead further in the Hero division with another Superhero performance, while Castillo ties Olt for third place in the Goat division. And hopefully the weather tomorrow will be warmer. Not sure it could be much colder, to be honest. (Well, I guess it could be, but let's not think about that.)
