you can search twitter for posts with images too.

you could spring for mlb.tv and screencap stuff yourself too.

There might be ways to get Getty Images accounts or the like as well.

Actually it's Getty that does the quick watermarking. I'd prefer if they sucked meh balls.

I have had MLB.TV for years now (many a card was taken from a screen shot), but I was so unaccustomed to postseason baseball I didn't know it was a separate deal to see postseason games. I found out late and so MLB.TV can also munch on my sac. I'm gonna pass on that for now. Might drop the 10 bucks for the WS if there is a good reason to. Gimme a good reason Mets!

Why would I need mlb.tv (which I have, anyways)? Wouldn't that work for SNY games, too? Or TBS and TNT?

MLB.tv tells me I have free access to post-season games and post-season advertisements online as part of the purchase I made to watch regular-season games, but then they make me fill out a form telling them which TV provider I use. I don't use a TV provider, that's why I want to watch games online. And lies don't work!

well you can't watch SNY/TBS on your computer (well, I guess depending, most people can't though) and you need to be able to scroll back to freeze frame and capture, which you need mlb.tv for (though I guess now that I think about it, that wouldn't work for the Mets because they're still blacked out locally, not live anyway)

Sometimes you can get decent pics just taking a photo of your television too. DVR/rewind.

Oh, I see. You're talking about getting images off the computer while I was thinking about TV images. Well in that case, I don't have an online version of mlb.tv.

Yeah, I ran up against that too. I share my mlb.tv account with a friend who doesn't have cable (sharing's against the rules; sue me). I can watch the playoffs on TV and he can't, so naturally he wants to see them on (or through) his computer. His solution was to get a trial subscription to Sling TV, which carries the playoff games; the trial is free and lasts a week. Not so good if you want more than a week and have no intention of buying a subscription ($20 a month) after that.

well, how are you getting the getty images? just publicly? if you had an account they don't have watermarks right? (I mean, probably 50% of the SBNation blog photos are Getty Images)

I mean, granted, signing up probably means technically agreeing not to use said images without attribution.

I'm a long time registered member there. I forgot I could go right to my account. lol. I'll see if I can make that work for me. It's been many a year since I went to the actual site.

I saw that too. And Comcast wasn't even on the drop-down as a selection/provider. Whats the deal w/that?

You can get it work for games subject to blackout very easily (for an additional cost of no more than $5/month) and you are technically not committing any offence in breach of a law.

[dinosaur jesus]

I think what's going on is that since these games are on national TV, they'd normally be blacked out on mlb.tv, but mlb.tv and some of the cable companies (who are presumably getting a cut) have worked it out so that can see them. I don't know why Comcast isn't in on that. But if you have XFinity or whatever the equivalent is with other companies, you should be able to watch on your computer anyway, without giving $10 to mlb.tv. I don't really understand any of this, but these are the kind of explanations I give to reassure myself.

I think this is part of the new blackout rules, but I'm not 100% on that. Some cable companies signed on (I think just Fox/Fox Sports?) to allow in-market streaming, as long as you have a cable account (because they're aware half of their customers would literally bolt if they could stream sports live in market). Since I guess technically TBS/Fox is 'local' you're blacked out unless you have that cable subscription? Comcast is NOT one of the companies that agreed.

So since SNY is partly owned by Comcast and Time Warner, no go with Mets games in market, but we'll be able to stream the Fox-owned YES.
