THE THREE HEROES:
- Superhero - Anthony Rizzo. It's been a while since he's been on this side of the ledger; his last appearance was at the beginning of the road trip against San Diego.
- Hero - Jason Hammel. The prospect in the upcoming trade just got better.
- Sidekick - Jason Hammel. He can pitch! He can bat! Operators are standing by! Order now and get a free wall calendar!
THE THREE GOATS:
- Big Goat - Junior Lake. Now 1-for-33 with 21 strikeouts when he doesn't play left field.
- Goat - Nate Schierholtz. Someone should remind him that attempting to steal bases may not be his best option.
- Kid - John Baker. Close race between him and Darwin Barney; he makes the podium for batting seventh to Barney's eighth.
