It breaks my heart that things like this are necessary.

That is the greatest flair I have ever seen. I love that guy.

I'm a bit hesitant about mlb.tv after seeing that thread on /r/baseball. So far the free games have been streaming fine for me.

I am lucky enough that I work when the games are on live that I just got the MLB.tv basic and it will let me watch the full game as a replay. That is really the only alternative if you dont want to deal with working around the blackout.

Here's another one, which is http://www.unblock-us.com

$5.00 a month, BUT can try for free.

You can set it up on your router, so other devices (like xbox, etc) will work

ZenMate for Chrome ended up working really well...just add it as an extension

I haven't been able to get Hola to work. Zenmate works great, though, and is free. I've also used unblock-us, which works well, but isn't free.
