I give the Soxtalk gamethread participants a D- so far. Without me it might be a solid D.

I like Dye's chances to advance the way things are going so far.

Those slow-mo replays rule.

Tejada forgot to take his HGH.

Perhaps his speed will be more valuable in the post season when scoring begins to drop off in the cooler weather?

From the Trib: While manager Ozzie Guillen won't make a final decision until Monday, he's leaning toward starting White Sox right fielder Jermaine Dye in place of Manny Ramirez in Tuesday's All-Star Game. Ramirez, Boston's elected starter, is skipping the game with a sore right knee, which didn't prevent him from playing 19 innings Sunday. I hope Dye gets the start but what a tool Manny is. Plays 19 innings but is apparently injured.

Wow! I just got to my hotel in Allentown, PA thinking the game was over hours ago. What a pleasant surprise.

Well that was s***ty.

Nice piece of woodwork by Brian.

Ann Coulter on Adam Carolla's show.

Good. At least we know that the organization isn't content with the pitching we have right now.

I remember when our pitching was lights out.

Take that Zach!

Ozzie's decision to choose Mark over guys like Liriano is looking worse and worse. Liriano manhandling a good Texas offense on the road. Through 5 innings he has given up 2 hits, 0 ERs and struck out 7 while lowering his ERA to 1.88. EDIT: I'm not one to believe in jinxs but hopefully my post just did that to Liriano. He just walked 2 guys to start the 6th.

The Sox have been an average to below average team in the 2nd half of the season for the past 5 years.

4 of 5 starters with ERAs over 4. Yeah I know I'm typically negative but if that's not a cause for concern you're fooling yourself. And what do you know, the Tigers throwing up goose eggs once again.

BUMP

I can think of at least 5 pitchers more deserving of an all star bid over Mark and his 9-6 record and 4.02 ERA. It'll be fun listening to the announcers question his all star credentials during the game.

Yay!

What is Ozzie doing!!! What if we tie this game and AJ gets hurt in extra innings?!?!?
