This is why I'm glad the guy I split MLB.tv with last year didn't change his password. :)

Just wondering, do you know how to proxy around the blackout? It's not too hard.

Proxy Guide for MLB.TV!

Log out of MLB.TV before attempting to use this guide!!


To get around the obnoxious blackout restrictions you can use a proxy during the sign in process for MLB.TV. Once you have gotten past the "verifying geographical location" step when you're loading up a game you can shut it off. Chrome and Firefox instructions are below.


Chrome
1.) Install the Proxy Switchy! Extension for Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/...babniblemipncjj

2.) After you've installed it there will be a nice little globe to the right of the address bar:


3.)Click the globe then Options. This will bring up the screen below. In profile name type something (I use MLB but it really doesn't matter!).


4.) Get a proxy from here (http://www.proxy-list.org/en/index.php) and select SSL and Anonymous + Elite under type. Make sure you enter you the captcha phrase after scrolling down (see screenshot) and then click enter. Look for sites with 100% uptime.

Results:


5.) After you have the ip address you need and port number enter it under HTTPS Proxy & Port then click save. Make sure your options look exactly like this screenshot (besides the ip address/port)


6.) Click on the globe at the top right and select MLB or whatever your called the profile name.


7.) To see if the proxy is working browse to https://www.google.com. If Google comes up, yay! Otherwise, you'll get the error message below and you'll need to try a different proxy


8.) Log on to http://mlb.mlb.com/mediacenter and try to open your game. If you get a technical error or it times out the proxy you're using isn't working. Try another. Other than that should pop right up.

9.) After you're done logging on/have the game started you should click on the globe again to hit "direct connection" so your internet isn't going through some unknown proxy.

So I probably can't do it with the MLB app it'd only be for on the computer? Which is fine if so.

Wow, that's as bad as Iowa. They have Twins, Brewers, Cardinals, Royals, White Sox, and Cubs blacked out.

Yes. Because you need the proxy work around.

Unless you have an android phone. There's an app that spoofs your GPS location.

I don't know how well it works, I have an iPhone. But I got that from the same forum I got the proxy writeup from.

Bobby Valentine gets in a huge argument which is very good and then the umpire's gum falls out of his mouth and nearly goes into Valentine's and the rest is MUST SEE priceless.

No....but his reaction will likely replace his ridiculous Groucho Marx look in the Mets dugout.

MLB Network guys had a blast with this highlight.

Honestly, I think him jumping three times prior to that was the best part.
