The resurgent career of John Danks has been a nice story in this retooling season for the White Sox.
Pitching coaches, like players, come and go. There are exceptions to that rule, and White Sox pitching guru Don Cooper has proved over the last 12 years to be that rare coach who is a career franchise employee.
White Sox pitching coach Don Cooper doesn't like Chris Sale's starts getting cut short.

As Don Cooper will admit, before this season began, the White Sox were expected to be a train wreck.
Through his first 145 games as a big league manager, Robin Ventura has lead a team that some projected to win a total of just 65 games to a record of 79-66, while maintaining a first-place position for most of the season.
A league source told 670 The Score Thursday that the White Sox reached out to Major League Baseball and were assured that catcher A.J. Pierzynski will not be suspended for using a banned substance.

This is the first All-Star break in recent memory that hasn't felt like the serene eye of a giant, swirling storm, in both good times and bad.
The move allows the left-hander to pitch freely in the All-Star Game, but the team insists the decision wasn't made for the All-Star Game.
The underlying theme throughout this season has been the lack of attendance from White Sox fans.
It seems more appropriate, and fun, to combine both rosters into one embarrassing, pathetic, and disturbing group.
