Socket timeout

[deejcunningham]

When used in Mycroft, the skill fails. Requests can be made outside of Mycroft's virtualenvironment successfully and the skill actually runs successfully maybe ~10% of the time within Mycroft. The following error pops up:

17:26:29.948 - mycroft.skills.core:wrapper:607 - ERROR - An error occurred while processing a request in Score Skill

socket.timeout: timed out

Currently testing after having left Mycroft running in background for some time and most scores are fetched immediately and without error. Testing in the evening with only one in-progress game so most of the scores may be cached by mlbgame

Currently worked-around by setting default socket timeout to 100 seconds. Thanks to @forslund at Mycroft for investigating.
