Congrats to the National League for another thorough trouncing of the
American boys.

The NBC announcers mentioned that they didn't really have a truly
standout for MVP, but I think choosing Hoyt was dumb.  If he wouldn't have
given up the sacrifice fly in the first inning (even though the run was
unearned) I would say ok.  As far as NL pitchers I think Nolan Ryan did
the best.  But my first choice would go to Jose Cruz for his dazzling
catches in LF.

Go Cubbies!

I couldn't agree more! Don't forget to look at Cruz's on-base percentage
also. He did draw two walks.
