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:

WXYT – http://bit.ly/wxyt32
KBME – http://bit.ly/kbme32
WBGG – http://bit.ly/wbgg32
WCNN – http://bit.ly/wcnn32
WFAN – http://bit.ly/wfan32
WFED – http://bit.ly/wfed32a
WFOM – http://bit.ly/wfom32

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!

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).

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).

Get your Vancouver 2010 Men’s Hockey Calendar here.

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.

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.

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.

I’ll update this with ALDS games if the local baseball team happens to not screw it up in the final few days here.

The Tigers get close to wrapping up their season, the Lions start playing meaningful games in search of that elusive “W” and the Red Wings get things started with preseason action.

If you are wondering what the heck that “FBK” team is the Red Wings play at the end of the month, it’s Färjestads BK, a member of the Swedish Elite League.

Holy carp, that’s a lot of wallpapers. I replaced the 1280 x 720 with 1366 x 768. If you were using 1280 x 720, just use 1280 x 800 and either “center” or “shrink” it.

Sorry about the delay in getting the wallpapers and DSC to you guys. My monitor malfunctioned a few days ago but I was able to get a replacement last night for free.

A few weeks ago I upgraded my display to an LG W2361V-PF, which required me to do some reformatting of the wallpapers as I now run at a 1920 x 1080 resolution. While doing so, I wrote a script that uses ImageMagick to automatically crop and resize the different wallpaper sizes. The real benefit for you guys is that I wrote the script to support the TWELVE most common resolutions I can find. This script makes my life a lot easier as I don’t have to manually crop and resize the wallpapers. If I still don’t have your display resolution, I’m sorry. I can’t support every resolution out there but I’m doing the best I can.

Get your May Detroit Sports Calendar here.

UPDATE: The time for Game 6 of the Red Wings’ series with Anaheim has been added. Another update will come if there’s a Game 7 and/or the Wings move on.

UPDATE 2: The Red Wings’ series versus Chicago has been added. This will be the final version of the calendar for this month.

UPDATE 3: The Red Wings’ Stanley Cup Finals series versus Pittsburgh has been added. This will DEFINITELY be the final version of the calendar for this month.

On the Tigers wallpapers there’s a new memorial patch for George Kell and Mark “The Bird” Fidrych. I am a bit ticked that the Tigers haven’t even memoralized their Hall of Fame third baseman and broadcaster with even a simple black armband.
