TLDR

One post counts September 29, 2026, as the ninth day the Cubs and White Sox both play postseason games: six days during their 1906 World Series, plus one each in 2008 and 2020. Another fan says the playoffs bring a shift from analyzing a 162-game season to simply hoping the Yankees win.

Max Mannis@MaxMannisBeing a baseball fan requires an absurd amount of cognitive dissonance. You analyze every game, every player, every metric for 162 games, knowing damn well what's real, what's not and how much is random. Then the calendar shifts to the playoffs and you throw it all out the window and believe because, well, you have no other choice. That's what being a fan is. It all starts tomorrow. Sleep well, baseball fans. Yankees fans in particular. This is the year. I have no choice but to believe.11d
