THE THREE HEROES:
- Superhero - Junior Lake. Gave the Cubs the early lead even if he wasn't convinced that he actually did it.
- Hero - Starlin Castro. The two-run bomb in the ninth made it interesting.
- Sidekick - Jason Hammel. Got himself into trouble in the sixth but left the game while it was still tied.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Big Goat - James Russell. One batter, one hit, blown lead, Big Goat.
- Goat - Brian Schlitter. Couldn't close the flood gates before the game was out of reach.
- Kid - Mike Olt. Three big whiffs, with the strikeout in the second with two runners on being the main thing that put him on the podium instead of Nate Schierholtz.
