The postseason seems to inspire a desperate form of baseball the White Sox have been practicing for six months.

There's an Onion story from the Great Recession about whether T.J. Maxx was in a downward spiral or conducting business as usual, which I've thought about the last couple of days.

“The state of this store does not in any way correspond to our standard criteria for judging long-term viability,” said economist Graham Stinson, referring to Chicago’s Fullerton Avenue branch, where more than half of the fluorescent lights are burnt out. “For instance, the canvas bins heaped with broken stemware in aisle six may be a sign that T.J. Maxx is on the verge of complete bankruptcy. Either that, or it’s doing perfectly fine. It’s impossible to say which.”

When the Phillies call upon their closer in the seventh inning, desperation hangs in the air. When Houston has to play its two most battle-tested veterans at defensive positions, it's the sign of an impending identity crisis. When the Red Sox cut short Wild Card Series starts out of deference to the Times Through the Order Penalty even though those starters will end up getting Cy Young votes, it reveals a major rift between the clubhouse and the decision-makers.

Meanwhile, when Venable uses a rookie lefty in Game 1 to cover the first inning or two -- hell, make it three -- then calls upon his best bullpen arm to handle the final seven outs despite what ends up being the highest pitch count of his relief career relief, it's just a Tuesday.

Beyond the fact that it’s incredibly illegal and corrupt to use taxpayer dollars to run political ads on television, there’s another problem with re-running old ads like this: the messaging only reminds everyone what a fraud you are.
Black-and-white image of Donald Trump standing in a hallway from a recent ad he ran on TV with taxpayer funds. White subtitle text on a black bar at the bottom displays what Trump’s voiceover says in the ad: “we will expel the warmongers from our government.”
