The Yankees just signed Gerrit Cole for a ton of money and it felt like balance being restored to the Force, or at least to the Dark Side of the Force, for those of us who are old enough to live entirely within the Star Wars extended universe. On that point I’m doing my part, and on the others, the Yankees did theirs and now the Red Sox are doing theirs. You can’t have an underdog story without an underdog, and the Sox seem happy to support into the narrative -- take their feet off the scales, so to speak, et voila -- a comparatively scrappy resistance is born.
Welcome (back) to the resistance
