Extra tickets for the London games will be released today via Ticketmaster.

I assume that these are team returns, so they could be good seats

Boston pitcher just had a nightmare. One out left, deep into the count and ended up giving up 6 runs.

Something tells me that the current score (17-13) is not your average baseball score.
