London calling to the faraway towns. Now war is declared … but I wish we were in The Bronx or Beantown.
Don’t come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls, because the Yankees are coming! The Yankees are coming! Yanks and Red Coats … er, Sox … have unnecessarily traveled across the pond to renew their rivalry in London. First pitch 6:10 p.m. Big Ben time, 1:10 p.m. here in New York. Masahiro Tanaka pitches the first of the two-game set. Strong, allowing two runs to the high-octane Astros. Stronger still, allowing two hits to the Rays in previous start.
