     Stars: Dave Parker and Jackie Robinson chose radically different ways
to win their teams' games - Parker homered in the seventh, and Robinson
stole home in the ninth... Dan Quisenberry recorded eight consecutive ground
outs - including a double play to end the seventh - in preserving the Royals'
victory.  "Three games and five innings in four days; I just don't want to see
him overused; that's my only concern," mused winner Steve Busby, who won
despite giving up twelve hits.

     Slumps:Del Unser had 5 hits in 9 at-bats at AAA, but after being called
up to replace McDowell in center for the Senators, fanned 3 times and popped
up once against Ron Guidry.

     Montreal:  First of all, I learned a lesson today - you can't be every
where, and you can't see every great play.  Whether it's because you're
working or spending time with your family, for you adults out there, you
must be satisfied that the sport is going along nicely without you, and know
that you are doing something far more important than watching a game.
     The game in question occurred in Boswaukta.  In the top of the ninth,
after Jackie Robinson tripled off Joe Niekro, pinch-hitter Boog Powell was
being intentionally walked.  On ball three, Robinson broke for home, and
scored easily.  While it is a much better play with a righthander up, this
heads-up play should be used more often; this is the first time I had heard
about it, but you can easily catch a guy napping at times.
     Some intriguing things were happening in Montreal, though.  James Bell
stole a base, and Showboat Thomas grabbed two singles.  The Cubs showed
their diversity today, and I felt that they could be on their way to a winning
season.  Unfortunately, Cub fans have often felt like that.  Perhaps it is
better to root for a team like the Indians, who are usually not even close to
contention, than to face so much heartache in the second half.
