Uball Wallpaper, Because He Is Awesome

I didn't make an April schedule wallpaper because I felt like it was taking too long, and I could feel my GPA dropping beneath me.  Apparently the team just needed to give me something awesome to motivate me to push aside all of my essays and readings and just create a wallpaper.

Just like the Rockies' last game at Hi Corbett, yesterday marked another event that was far too important in Rockies history to let go unmarked.  Thus why I stayed up to 3 to make this for everyone.  Hope everyone likes it :)

Usual drill - let me know if you want a special size, I should have some time tomorrow between pages to whip something up for you.

 

NOTE: I'm trying out Google Docs for the hosting this time around... when you click a link, a preview will pop up.  Click "Download" to get the size you clicked.  Let me know if there are any problems!

WIDESCREEN: 1920 x 1200 | 1680 x 1050 | 1440 x 900

STANDARD: 1600 x 1200 | 1400 x 1050 | 1280 x 960 | 1024 x 768 | 800 x 600

Attributions: the two pictures beneath the scoreboard and the scoreboard are from AP, the list of no-no's was screencapped from Wikipedia, the Rockies logo was taken from sportslogos.net, and the large picture of the man himself was found on this page via a Google search.  The MLB block letter and number font was downloaded from a link provided via the sportslogos.net forum.

GPA’s are overrated. ;-D

Ignorance of the American League is a sign of good moral character.

Thanks

Now Ubaldo’s awesomeness can envelop my computer:D

A free man counts tomorrow and yesterday and both of them are his; hunger and there's no master to feed you, but walk long steps and no master says go slowly.

It is inconceivable for a Rockies pitcher to have poor run support

Roger Clemens had an affair with a 16 year old..

So I’m glad Ubaldo is not Roger Clemens!
