At work I have computer access, but no TV. Is there a site that will be streeming the Philly’s game so I can watch it at work?

Not streaming, but [this](http://wap.mlb.com/scores/game.jsp?gid=2007_10_03_colmlb_phimlb_1) provides play by play. I will keep looking

The other option is go to [www.mlb.com](http://www.mlb.com) and buy a subscription to the post-season.

Same answer. You can subscribe to [MLB.com](http://MLB.com) TV or [MLB.com](http://MLB.com) Radio and watch or listen to the games streaming live. I’ve used both and been happy with both.

Note that in Wilmington, the Phillies may be blacked out for your market on [mlb.com](http://mlb.com) (not sure if it’s just TV or radio too).

I bought myself a subscription to mlbTV so I could watch Tribe games without having cable. Nooooooo such luck. No one within the “Indians Viewing Area” is able to watch Indians games on [mlb.com](http://mlb.com)

I don’t know if Wilmington is Phillies or Nationals or BoSox, but I’d be very careful about subscribing to mlbTV until you know for sure.

Yeah, you can only watch out-of-market on mlbtv. I might do that next year; I’ll be able to watch the Rockies or the Orioles whenever they’re not playing the Blue Jays. However: no postseason games are shown over the internet.

Gameday audio is good for the postseason, though I don’t think the OP wants to pay $15 for three games. (Now two.)

Go to the website of the team you want to watch, and click on “Gameday.” It’s not fast, there’s no audio, but it is play-by-play.

I’m in Japan and I use a certain peer-to-peer application to watch MLB games & other sports events almost live (less than a minute delay). This morning (Japan time) I was watching the Rockies-Phillies game.

If the mods are OK with it, I can post instructions and or website links.

If not, please email me at maninjpn(at)gmail(dot)com. Mods?

No, **Frank** , there is postseason baseball on the Internet. In fact, I’m watching right now game 2 of the Cubs-Diamondbacks series with my regular-season subscription to [MLB.com](http://MLB.com).
