Cardinals vs. Giants Watch and Listen Online NLCS Game 1 Live Stream: MLB NL Championship Series Playoffs

The St. Louis Cardinals vs. the San Francisco Giants face off in Game 1 of the MLB National League Championship Series (NLCS) playoffs on Sunday, Oct. 14 at Yankee Stadium. The ballgame is set to start at 8:07 p.m. E.T. Read on to see where fans can watch a live stream and up-to-date live feed/coverage of the game online.

Both teams will face off in a total of seven playoff games to determine which one advances on to the 2012 World Series to either play the New York Yankees or Detroit Tigers. Those two teams battled it out in Game 1 and 2 of the American League Championship Series (ALCS) on Saturday and Sunday, with Tigers coming out with two wins.

Giants outfielder Melky Cabrera has been reinstated from the restricted list after he completed his 50-game suspension as required by baseball's Joint Drug Agreement, but his status thus far in the postseason "remains unchanged," so he will most likely not take the field.

The Cardinals came back with an impressive Game 5 win against the Washington Nationals late Friday evening, trailing throughout most of the game but coming back with four runs in the final inning, winning 9-7.

The ballgame will be broadcasted on FOX, but for those fans who can't make it to a television, MLB.tv offers a postseason online game package for $24.99. Although no live stream, espn.go and Gamecast both offer great ballgame updates on scores and lineups.
