The Chicago White Sox will have a little more time off before they resume play on Friday against the Detroit Tigers. It'll be a series that will hopefully showcase a different Adam Dunn than was seen in the first half, because they need it to.
The White Sox's 44-48 record through the first 92 games of the season hasn't necessarily led to optimism among their fans. And to make matters worse, they suffered a 3-1 series loss to the Twins heading into the All-Star break.

By gametime, I won't be surprised to see that Adam Dunn and Randy Wells have been added to the rosters. I was initially taken aback by Aramis Ramirez's decision yesterday to turn down an All-Star invitation, but now I'm with him.
Admit it Chicago, you've probably never relished the All Star break as much as this year. Mind you, I said the break and not the All Star game itself.
