Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 8

In another neck-and-neck race for the top of the Hero podium, Travis Wood squeaks out the top step by a nose.

And for the first time this season, there will be a bumping up of players on a podium as Travis Wood would have taken the top spot on the Goat podium as well for his hitting performance (-.047). However, as I mentioned before the season started, pitchers this season will only be judged on their pitching performance and not their hitting.

It did lead to an interesting and tough-luck bottom step on the Goat podium, though.
