Mike Pietrik is correct. Real Media inked a deal with the baseball leagues during the last decade that contractually requires radio stations that carry major league baseball games over the air to block those games on their Internet streams--it allows Real Media and the baseball league to earn more money from those games. And I will note that this kind of deal (though not necessarily with Real Media) is in place for the football and basketball leagues as well. The only major professional team sport that, to my knowledge, has not done such a deal (and they may have by now) is the National Hockey League which was trying to regain its audience after a bruising players strike a few years back.

While your idea in theory is a good one (and indeed that page lists over
100 stations that are Cards affiliates), the truth is that the vast
majority most of the time do not stream
the games due tto MLB restrictions. Thus, buying GameDay Audio for $20 is
the surest and quickest way to gain guaranteed auio for the games.
While there is no harm in trying the stations on that list, it will likely
prove a frustrating effort most days.
Human history is the long terrible story of man trying to find
something other than God which will make him happy.
