Couple Celebration Questions

AddisonStSox · October 17, 2005

Sorry to start the new thread, hopefully others are wondering the same thing.

1) Do any of you know if Comcast plans on replaying the post-game lockerroom celebration footage today as they the day after the AL Central Division clinch? If so, can you PLEASE post the time and other information.

2) Does anyone know how to save the images posted on Whitesox.com? I have gathered all the photos from Chicagosports.com, cbssportsline.com, and yahoosports, but the Flash White Sox photo gallery has some awesome shots. Anyone know how to scam on those?

Thanks. Also wanted to add my body is just numb today. I'm honestly living on a cloud.

Do a print screen on the WhiteSox.com pics. And just paste, crop, and save them in your favorite paint program.

1. Find the gallery you want. ex: http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/mlb/photog.../cf1252621.html

2. In your browser find the option in the menu bar to "View Source" or "Page Source" (often is Command-U)

3. In that mess of code serach for "flashvars" You will find this a line like this:

document.write('<param name="flashvars" value="xmlFilePath=/mlb/photogallery/post_season/year_2005/month_10/day_17/cf1252621.xml"/>');

You are interested in the part that is the "xmlFilePath"

4. Point your web broswer at http://mlb.com/mlb/photogallery/post_seaso...7/cf1252621.xml

The XML file is basicly a text file that tells the Flash Gallery application where the photos are located and what the captions are.

5. So when we load the XML file we find:

<gallery galleryID="ws2005" date="Oct. 16, 2005" title="Chicago White Sox celebrate" dropdownURL="http://www.mlb.com/photogallery/year_2005/mlb_dropdown.xml">

So we take the first photo:

<photo id="1252598" thumburl="/images/2005/10/17/4Hdkf**D.jpg" url="/images/2005/10/17/OTEfZMDv.jpg" width="462" height="462" source="Andrew T. Malana/MLB.com" order="" sell="" gameID="">
White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko (top) hugs winning pitcher Jose Contreras as the White Sox defeat the Angels, 6-3, to win the ALCS and advance to the World Series.
</photo>

And you can see all of the information:

The Photo is located at: http://mlb.com/images/2005/10/17/OTEfZMDv.jpg

The Photographer is: Andrew T. Malana/MLB.com

The Caption is: "White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko (top) hugs winning pitcher Jose Contreras as the White Sox defeat the Angels, 6-3, to win the ALCS and advance to the World Series."

And that is it.

You can do this with every one of the gallerys that MLB.com puts up. Just look for the "flashvars" XML file that tells you where the images are. And always just add "http://mlb.com" to the front of the URLs that are given.

THANK YOU!
