All that's missing is the "Welcome Back, Kotter" theme song.

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 Ramirez Catalyst of Game 95: With a leadoff homer already under his belt, Dexter Fowler follows it up with a bases-loaded two-run double down the third-base line in the bottom of the second to put the Cubs ahead by three. WPA impact: +.110.
THE THREE HEROES:
- Superhero - Dexter Fowler (.200). Okay, let's all try to act nonchalant and pretend that we didn't miss him while he was gone. That or just go in for the giant bear hug and tell him to never ever get hurt again. One or the other.
- Hero - Carl Edwards Jr. (.165). Had the of the tougher jobs of the bullpen in Friday's game, inheriting a runner on second with nobody out and getting out of it with two big strikeouts to end the sixth.
- Sidekick - Addison Russell (.143). Normally there would be a fruit basket on its way to Jimmy Nelson for his errant throw that allowed Russell to scamper to second base in the second inning, but even without that error Russell probably had the final podium spot thanks to a 92-point gap to the next player down. We'll send a "Thank You" card anyway, just in case.
THE THREE GOATS:
- Billy Goat - Jason Heyward (-.075). Remember that bright, shining moment not too long ago when Heyward was at minus-18 and looked like he was on the right track? I'd like to get back to that feeling again, please.
- Goat - Anthony Rizzo (-.067). Even the chart king misses an opportunity or two to drive in a run now and then.
- Kid - Ben Zobrist (-.043). He's also taken one heck of a chart tumble, sinking all the way from plus-9 to minus-10 including five Goat podium appearances in a row.
RANKINGS THROUGH GAME 95: Fowler makes a move away from the cellar door, pushing Heyward further into the mire in the process.
