I don't think you'd be able to get them because you live in the Chicago area, which means the mlb.tv games would be blacked out.
Correct. They are, however, available shortly after broadcast in most cases. Being in CA, I rely on MLB.tv for most of my viewing and am generally only subject to Nationwide blackouts.
Fox owns the rights to broadcast, it's up to them when to let MLB.tv air games.
