Lacking cable, I won't be able to watch any NL games until the NLCS or any AL games until the World Series. These are the two weeks of the year where I regret my cablefree life. Though not that much.
you could always check into a bar or visit a friend who does have cable.

I listened to a number of games in my car this year with the MLB App and thoroughly enjoyed it. Reminded me of being a kid before every game was televised…

Awesome game, love the comeback and the Goon Squad picking up the team. Insane to think that each team left 10 runners stranded on base, especially considering that I think the Cards loaded the bases 3 times, I believe? Wish I could leave work a little early to catch the full game, should make it back in time to watch the end. Excited!

Been in the virtual waiting room for NLCS game 1 tickets for an hour. Insanity!

It's ridiculous that there will not be any sort of local simulcast for the MLB Network games. The NFL Network allows this sort of thing since, like the MLB Network, has limited availability.
Save us, LivingSocial.

I don't get what MLB is thinking here. There is no other game on TBS at that time, and they decided to reduce the number of possible viewers by 30 million. Just move the A's - DET game to MLB Network since it starts so late on the East Coast anyway. That would halve the number of viewers lost.

JZ looked so good at the beginning of yesterday's game and then really got roughed up… everything seemed to go the Cards way….

It was rather unsettling seeing the 1 and 2 both struggle. Hopefully Edwin can right the ship and calm everyone down. Hopefully the bats show a little more patience or start bringing in those runs. I'll be at work tomorrow during the game so I'll be staring at ESPN.com for updates.

Game 3 1:07
Game 4 4:07 [5:07 if Tigers/A's win series in less than 5]
Game 5 8:37 [If necessary]
Didn't manage to get through to get tickets for the NLCS. Just got my fingers crossed they get that far…

Nice. I made it through the waiting room right at 10 and found both games 1 and 2 already sold out, for tickets I was looking for ($90 or less). Scored a pair for game 6 on maybe the top row of the section, ha.
Like you though, I just hope they get through this round. I think the cardinals have a slight edge in the pitching matchups for the next few and their right handed heavy lineup worries me with Detwiler not being as effective against righties. That being said, Carpenter just came back, so hopefully we can shell him tomorrow and go on and wrap this thing up.

Excited! I might take my lunch break during the 8th inning and run out to a bar around here and watch the end of the game. Gonna have to stare at my screen for updates because apparently my work computer can't run the online radio stream :\ sigh.
WOOO! GO NATS!!

Yeah, we can eat in the office and still get our break. It depends on the score of the game. I also might just sit in my car and listen to the radio.
Anyone know if they'll be showing the game at the Fairgrounds during the game? I'd imagine so, yes? I know they had a viewing party for Game 2 on Sunday….
EDIT: have no idea how I slashed those letters…

I know, I was just giving him shit.
Sometimes I'll got for a run at 8am and shower in my gym at work and call that my lunch hour. Then eat while I'm doing my work later.
Damn, we have it soooo good. In my former life, I was a schoolteacher. Lunch consisted of me eating in the lunchroom with the kids for 30 minutes, and having to interrupt my lunch anytime there was an issue. And there was always an issue.
