All I know for sure is that I heard circus music playing. Maybe it was just an ice cream truck stuck in front of my house...

Writer's Note: The daily selections of the three Heroes and three Goats are based solely on the top three and bottom three WPA scores for the game. The selections are not based on my subjective opinion.
THE THREE HEROES:
- Superhero - Addison Russell (.200). So, remember when the Cubs were only down 3-1 and Russell hit a double to tie it? You know, before whatever that second half thing was?
- Hero - Dexter Fowler (.119). And there was some point when things were still normal and he hit a basket shot to left...
- Sidekick - Kyle Schwarber (.067). And then remember when the game was tied 3-3 and Schwarber scooted one past second base to score Russell? I know; it hardly seems like it was the same game.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Justin Grimm (-.593). It's the second-worst single-game WPA of the season and the worst that Grimm's had in his entire career by over 100 points; his next closest was on May 5, 2014 against the White Sox.
- Goat - Kyle Hendricks (-.180). If you're going to intentionally walk Joey Votto with runners already on first and second, it's imperative to follow up on step two of the plan: don't let Brandon Phillips get a hit.
- Kid - Tommy La Stella (-.163). So how's this for a predicament: You can avoid the final spot on the podium, but in order to do it you need to get on base against Aroldis Chapman. Yeah, that's what I thought.
