It's time for this week's GSc update. Jays pitching this week was below average:
| AGSc | Chg | GS | Starts | Week Avg | |
| Roy Halladay | 61.55 | -0.66 | 20 | 1 | 49.00 |
| Marc Rzepczynski | 55.60 | -0.90 | 5 | 1 | 52.00 |
| Ricky Romero | 53.76 | -0.84 | 17 | 2 | 47.50 |
| Scott Richmond | 52.79 | -2.21 | 14 | 1 | 24.00 |
| Brett Cecil | 48.82 | +0.22 | 11 | 1 | 51.00 |
| Robert Ray | 48.50 | +0.00 | 4 | 0 | |
| Brian Tallet | 47.56 | +0.00 | 18 | 0 | |
| David Purcey | 41.00 | +0.00 | 5 | 0 | |
| Jesse Litch | 37.00 | +0.00 | 2 | 0 | |
| Brad Mills | 25.00 | +0.00 | 2 | 0 |
All five starters underperformed. Most notable was Richmond. On Friday, he made his first start since returning to the majors from a stint on the DL. In that game in Oakland, he only went 3+ innings and had to be replaced by Tallet after giving up 6 runs (4 earned) on 19 batters faced. Doc Halladay also had an uncharacteristic start where he gave up 11 hits over 7 innings.
For notables in the majors the GSc looks this:

The Aces...
Tim Lincecum had two very good starts last week. On July 27th he pitched a complete game gem against the Pirates. He allowed no earned runs on 4 hits, struck out 15, and earned a GSc of 87 (his second highest of the season). He followed that great outing with a GSc of 75 on August 1st against the Philadelphia. In that outing he pitched 8 shutout innings, struck out 8 and only gave up one walk.
Matt Cain—in his only start of the week—earned a 3 hit complete game shutout against the Pirates on July 29th (the Pirates seem to be padding pitcher stats for opposing teams); he earned a GSc of 83 in that effort.
Cliff Lee—in his first start with the Phillies—pitched a complete game one run affair against the Giants. He gave up only 4 hits, had 6Ks and 2BB.
The Bums...
Mark Buehrle—the week after going el perfecto—recorded game scores of 45 and 10 in his two starts of the week. In the latter outing against the Yankees, Buehrle gave up 7 earned runs and 12 hits in 4.1 innings. Buehrle's terrible week drops him 10 spots in the rankings and he lost 2.55 overall points on his season average.
Sabathia had a bad outing against the Rays (GSc 33) and a bad outing against the White Sox (GSc 42). Over 12.2 innings and 57 batters, he gave up 10 earned runs, 19 hits and 3 home runs.
