Prettty please?

Judging by what happened last year, I think we might be able to get Josh Fields on the All-star team if we really tried.

Dye might be our best all-around hitter.

 

He surely is the sox best all-around athlete.

Guys dont you remember people from the east coast think thats "bush league", which is all the more reason to do it.

haha it wouldnt be bush league when he deserves to be there but doesnt get the recognition

I say we go all out

just changed my sig a little. we need to spread the word around.

we should pin a "get jermaine dye in the allstar game" thread . and leave it up there until voting ends

Just saying.. if we could get pods in, Im sure we could get dye in if White Sox nation gave an effort. IUt would be our first positional starter in almost a decade.

 

We got a lot of help from Red Sox fans that just didn't want to see Jeter in the ASG. It would be a whole s***load harder to get Dye voted into the starting lineup of the All-Star team.

we have more time to work

 

just saying.. if sox WS merchandise can be one of the best all time in sales... Im sure we have the fans out there to make some noise for one player. The cards fans do it all the time.

I'm on board for getting Jermaine Dye in the ASG, lets do it

I 2nd the motion.

In JD's last 162 games dating back to early last year:

 

.294 BA (595 ABs)

.367 OBP

.578 SLG

.945 OPS

97 Runs

44 HRs

119 RBIs

31 2Bs

14 SBs

 

Those are some pretty nice numbers to go along with some stellar defense. Definitely underrated.

I just did another 50 ASG votes. All Sox starters minus Brian Anderson since I wrote in Jim Thome as the 3rd outfielder.

If you guys think we can get it done, I'll be glad to put in as many votes as I can. Dye definitely has the numbers to back it up.

It can't hurt. He's more than deserving of the spot. I've sent in a bunch this morning

Dye doesn't get as much attention for two reasons:

 

1. He doesn't play in Boston or New York (believe me it has nothing to do with it being Chicago)

 

2. He hasn't put up monster stats like this for years on end, in fact most people thought his career was pretty much over a couple of years ago.

 

Of course, even as a Tigers fan I copmletely agree that he should be starting in the all star game, last year he was the one guy on the Sox I hated to see due up in a big situation against us. (Thome has joined him this year of course )

I'll definitely do my part to get JD in the ASG. It makes me sick to see so many Red Sox and Yanks in the Starting Lineup. But even if even he isn't voted in, don't forget Ozzie's the manager. He'll pick him as a reserve.

I just put in 50 votes. If the admin teams for wsi and soxtalk can both pin a thread and start a campaign, Im sure word can spread fast to sox fans everywhere.

I just finished 100 votes for the day.

I still haven't started voting yet. Once school is done with, I'll get around to it.

75 here so far

I have 3 e-mails to use...75 more for JD! Lets git 'er done.

Jermaine made the Play of the Game tonight with that grab of Matthew's line drive!

Figured I'd bump this thread for a damn good reason, with his 2-3 (1HR, 1BB) night Jermaine Dye has now shot up the list of top OPS' in baseball all the way up to #2 behind Albert "god" Pujols who is not currently active.

 

So for the national media I just have 1 thing to say, jump on this guys back he's currently THE BEST HITTER IN BASEBALL! 1.099 OPS is just sick.

RNK      NAME         POS   HR   RBI   OPS

1.) Albert Pujols      1B   25   65   1.193     CARDINALS

2.) Jermaine Dye       OF   18   43   1.099     WHITE SOX

3.) Jim Thome          DH   21   53   1.092     WHITE SOX

4.) Jason Giambi       1B   16   47   1.089     YANKEES

5.) Travis Hafner      DH   16   51   1.070     INDIANS

6.) Jason Bay          OF   18   49   1.056     PIRATES

7.) Miguel Cabrera     3B   9    43   1.014     MARLINS

8.) Vernon Wells       OF   15   46   1.006     BLUE JAYS

9.) Alex Rios          OF   11   43   1.004     BLUE JAYS

10.) Manny Ramirez     OF   14   37   .996      RED SOX

Sure is interesting seeing 2 Sox hitters in the top 3 in baseball.
