Detroit Tigers Post-season Desktop Wallpaper

Now that the Detroit Tigers have officially clinched the AL Central, I have decided to release a post-season wallpaper.  I was hesitant to do this before they locked up the top spot in the division, but now we can celebrate the first division title since 1987!

Post-season Wallpaper

For those inquiring, I will probably be making a postseason wallpaper, but I was waiting until the Tigers had clinched.  I didn't want to jinx anything by working on it before they won the A.L. Central.  As I haven't started anything, I won't have it up until later this week at the earliest.

September 2011 Desktop Wallpaper

September finds the Detroit Tigers sitting five games up on the Chicago White Sox, and five and a half games up on the Cleveland Indians.  Several key additions over the course of the last few months have aided the Tigers in remaining in the top spot, including this month's featured player, Delmon Young.  Since acquiring Delmon on August 15, the Tigers have gone 10-5, and I believe that Delmon has played every game.

Some notable series yet to be played in September start this weekend with a 3-game set against the White Sox.  All in all, the Tigers will play the White Sox six times in September, and they will play the Indians six times.  It will be an exciting month of baseball!

August 2011 Desktop Wallpaper

August finds the Tigers leading a tight AL Central race.  Continuing the common thread of a pitcher dominating, Rick Porcello was 5-0 for the month of July.  Verlander was his usual commanding presence, so the starting pitching which concerned some going into the second half, might be getting stronger.

July 2011 Desktop Wallpaper

The mid-point of the season finds the Detroit Tigers a half-game in front of the Cleveland Indians.  The cursed inter-league schedule is nearly done and soon we'll be back to facing our divisional opponents.  

Justin Verlander was 6-0 in the month of June, so lets hope he continues that hot streak for the rest of the season, and that he can positively affect the rest of the pitching squad.

July wallpaper

For anyone already looking for the July desktop wallpaper, I should have it up tomorrow, but definitely Friday at the latest.

June 2011 Desktop Wallpaper

As of today, the Tigers find themselves trying to catch the Indians at the top of the AL Central.  Their home record so far this year has been much better than their road record.  Fortunately, June has a lot of home series, which should help Detroit in the standings.

May 2011 Desktop Wallpaper

My apologies for the lateness of this post as real life has intervened as of late.  Unfortunately, this post finds the Tigers the losers of six straight games.  Let's hope that the month of May brings better results for the team.

Opening Day 2011

Welcome to Opening Day 2011!  

 

This year, we have the privilege of our Detroit Tigers opening the season against the New York Yankees in New York.  It should be a chilly afternoon in the Big Apple, but I have a good feeling that the Tigers' bats are going to be hot today.

March / April 2011 Desktop Wallpaper

Baseball is back!  Spring Training is wrapping up with the final roster cuts being made this week.  Opening Day is just 8 days away, and I really hope this cold weather ends soon otherwise the players will be wearing parkas on the field.

No Spring Training Wallpaper...but

I didn't have the time, energy, or the design finalized before the first Spring Training game, so I opted to forgo it this year.  However, I have gotten over my design block (Yay!), and will be posting the monthly wallpapers in a couple of weeks.

Drawing a blank

Typically this time of year, I would be in the process of designing the monthly desktop wallpapers.  Well, I'm drawing (pun not intended) a blank.  I usually get inspiration for my designs from design blogs, but I'm not finding anything that is hitting me.  

I'm sure I'll find something before Opening Day, but if you see anything that might work for a design, leave a comment.
