ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBAW?!?!?! Oh, yeah, hockey too.

I’ll tell you what I’m really ready for: cooler temperatures. This summer was brutal!

Baseball is winding down. The Tigers have a pulse now, but it’s too little, too late. The Lugnuts are out of the Midwest League playoff picture but the Loons have to be the favorites to win the league.

The Red Wings start up their pre-season schedule late this month with one game on TV.

If you haven’t seen it yet, there are also schedule wallpapers available for Michigan and Michigan State football. I’ll have Lions schedule wallpapers available before the start of the regular season.

Here’s something new. 16 total resolution options to choose from. I will not be adding time or TV information on these because I don’t want to have to update them every week.

Please, no requests for other teams. These took long enough as it is because of my perfectionism.

The Lions return with preseason exhibition action.

I’ve added information for the Detroit Lions Television Network. Remember, even preseason exhibition games are subject to the insanity of the NFL’s blackout policy.

Ndamukong Suh, save us, please.

UPDATE: Changed time to 5:00 for Lions/Broncos game on Saturday, August 21st. Added WNWO NBC 24 Toledo to the Lions TV affiliates list.

We’re back to the normal design. Maybe it’ll help the Tigers play the way they did before last month.

The Lugnuts face the Angry Apples With Questionable Mental Health many times this month; the Loons do the same with the Angry Baseball-Eating Waves.

I should have a Lions season schedule wallpaper out pretty soon. I’m even thinking about doing the same with Michigan and Michigan State (but without the times and TV because of the way the scheduling works in the NCAA).

The DSC gets the retro treatment just like the wallpapers. I have added the Pistons’ Summer League schedule as well. I won’t be doing a Summer League schedule wallpaper for the Pistons.

Get your July Detroit Sports Calendar here.

It’s retro month! All wallpapers use a classic computer font and space background, the Tigers and Lugnuts have retro team logos and the opponent logos on the Tigers wallpaper are from the 80s and early 90s (all logos are from this time period with the exception of Tampa Bay, who did not exist until 1998). Since I couldn’t really use retro opponent logos on the Lugnuts and Loons wallpapers, I used cap logos to change it up.

A few notes on the MLB logos used:

• Cleveland – I really didn’t have a retro logo to use from this time period, so I made up a wordmark based on their 1989 to 1993 uniforms.
• Minnesota – That really is a retro logo, if only by a year.
• Boston – Same case as Minnesota. This logo was last used in 2008.

This one should just be called the DTC (Detroit Tigers Calendar). Same thing will apply next month. Once again, every game is in high definition, so no redundant (HD) everywhere.

Sorry about the lateness. I slacked off too much before the holiday weekend and paid for it.

Once again, all games are in high definition for the Tigers, so that’s why you won’t see that little (HD) logo on there at all.

I’ll update the DSC if needed because of Red Wings playoffs. Every game is in high definition, so no redundant (HD) everywhere.

No fancy write-up here; I’m too tired.

All games are in high definition for the Tigers, so that’s why you won’t see that little (HD) logo on there at all.

I’ll update the Tigers wallpaper if needed because of Red Wings playoffs.

UPDATE: Added the Ernie Harwell memorial patch to the Tigers wallpapers. RIP Ernie.

We almost have another month with at least one game a day. That could still happen; it all depends on the Red Wings’ playoff schedule (which will be reflected on updated DSCs). Here’s the rest of the radio streams (which may or may not be blacked out):

WXYT-FM/AM – http://bit.ly/wxyt32
KBME-AM – http://bit.ly/kbme32
WFOM-AM – http://bit.ly/wfom32
WTMJ-AM – http://bit.ly/wtmj32

Starting this month you will get your DSCs at 12:01 AM on the first of every month.

UPDATE: Added Red Wings first round playoff schedule versus Phoenix. Moved a few affected FSD games to FSD+.
UPDATE: The Tigers game on Sunday the 16th is now at 4:10 PM (or it might have been all along, I really don’t know).
UPDATE: The Tigers game on Friday the 23rd is now on FSD+ (HD) because of a Red Wings playoff game.

It’s April in the D! *groans*

The Tigers open 2010 with Dontrelle at the end of the rotation. Yikes. Good thing we’re only weeks away from the Stanley Cup Playoffs with the Red Wings on a very hot streak. As for the Pistons? Let’s hope the lottery is kind to them. Minor League Baseball is also underway this month, so get on out and enjoy inexpensive baseball if you have some in your area.

I’ll probably update the Tigers wallpapers if/when TV changes happen because of Red Wings playoff games. Don’t look for a Red Wings playoffs wallpaper.

A new feature this month: you will now get your wallpapers at midnight on the first of every month.

UPDATE: Tigers wallpaper updated (Friday the 16th’s game moved to FSD+ because of Red Wings playoffs).
UPDATE: Tigers wallpaper updated (Sunday the 18th’s game moved to 4:10 PM [or it might have been a mistake on my part, I'm not sure which]).
UPDATE: Tigers wallpaper updated (Friday the 23rd’s game moved to FSD+ (HD) because of Red Wings playoffs).

With the return of spring training, we have a first in DSC history: an entire month with at least one Detroit game on every day. I have listed links to radio streams (which may or may not be blacked out) on the DSC itself, but here they are as well:

UPDATE: The Tigers’ game versus the Washington Nationals on March 9th will now be televised live at 1:00 PM on MLB Network (as well as MASN).
UPDATE 2: Fixed an error: I had the Tigers’ game versus the Washington Nationals on March 25th as televised on Fox Sports Detroit. There will be no TV for this game. Please download a new copy.
UPDATE 3: Fixed another error: I had the Tigers’ game versus the Toronto Blue Jays on March 22nd as televised on Fox Sports Detroit. There will be no TV for this game. Please download a new copy or just cross it out. I really need to proofread these things better…

Spring training is here! On the Tigers wallpaper, I added all of the out-of-town TV and radio. All of the radio stations listed stream their signal on their sites, but I don’t know if MLB will be jerky butts and black them out. Check the DSC post for quick links to the streams.

HT to my friend Mike for his huge help in sleuthing the out-of-town TV and radio!

Along with wallpapers, I have created a DSC (actually, an MHC) for men’s hockey as well for Vancouver 2010. Same rules apply as to the wallpaper (no requests for other time zones or other versions).

Here it is, the men’s hockey wallpaper for Vancouver 2010. Times shown are when the NBC networks start showing the games, which may be delayed up to 30 minutes from the actual puck drop. Please do not request versions for other time zones or any other versions because it would take too long and be too much work. Sorry.

OK, now we’re back to your regularly-styled wallpapers. The Red Wings’ one is kinda light, due to the NHL break for the 2010 Olympics. I will be posting a special schedule wallpaper that has all of the men’s hockey games for Vancouver 2010 on it very soon. Stay tuned!

Here’s a retro-themed DSC to go along with this month’s wallpapers.

Get your January Detroit Sports Calendar here.

Happy New Year!

It’s time for the biannual “Retro Month”. I have selected logos from the past of the teams that the Red Wings and Pistons will be playing this month. I have limited the logo selection to current locations of teams, which is why you won’t see a Hartford Whalers logo when the Red Wings play Carolina. After what happened in Hartford, there’s no way I could do that. As for teams that don’t have any real retro logos (like the Minnesota Wild) I chose alternate logos.

Huge thanks to Donovan Moore of the Society for Sports Uniform Research for providing the most accurate colors for all of the logos in my wallpapers and to the people at Chris Creamer’s Sports Logos Page for providing many high quality logos to use.

As far as the whole Comcast/Versus/DirecTV squabble, I’ve decided to go back to just one set of wallpapers for the Red Wings. I’ll just be taking a minor jab at what Versus used to be called to remind everyone of their roots. ^_^

Hard to believe this year (and decade) are almost over with. Let’s go out in style!

About the Red Wings wallpapers: I am still pissed at Comcast’s extortion of Versus to DirecTV, so that’s why I make that awesome “Komkast” logo. You can read more about the squabble here. If you don’t want the awesome “Komkast” logo on your Red Wings wallpaper, download the alternate version. I will be making two versions of the Red Wings wallpapers every month until this situation is resolved.

Whoa, the Lions might actually win a couple of games this month. Too bad the St. Louis and Cleveland games will be blacked out. It’s pretty bad when I can’t even legally watch the terrible local NFL team.

Get your November Detroit Sports Calendar here.

I figured I’d get these up while I wait for a Lions stream to become available. The NFL and Roger Goodell can go eat sushi from the Detroit River.

About the Red Wings wallpapers: I am still pissed at Comcast’s extortion of Versus to DirecTV, so that’s why I make that awesome “Komkast” logo. You can read more about the squabble here. If you don’t want the awesome “Komkast” logo on your Red Wings wallpaper, download the alternate version. I will be making two versions of the Red Wings wallpapers every month until this situation is resolved. Missing today’s opener (even though they lost) was awful.
