"Pretty in Purple": May Schedule Wallpaper

First things first: my apologies for how late this one was. The last week of April was the last week of classes for the semester, and last week was finals week. That's also the reason for the simplicity of this one, though I think it worked out this time around.

Also, another apology: I do not have vector-based logos for teams, and did not have time to fix these ones, so most of these logos have some scaling weirdness to them. You can especially see this in San Diego and any other logo with pronounced curves. This was a problem the last time I tried to do something like this, back in 2009, and I still haven't learned my lesson. But I just love the outlined look. I'll try and make future ones better if I have some spare time between jobs this summer.

The reason I'm apologizing so much is because I really wanted the schedule piece to do justice to the fantastic picture at the center. Most of you probably recognize the image as one that our awesome prettyinpurple took of the hometown heroes on Opening Day. As soon as I saw the image, I knew that I wanted it to take center stage for the team in some fashion; what better way than in a schedule wallpaper?

And the title? Just sort of came to me :)

Please send her basically all the credit for this one. If it wasn't for her awesome pic, the relative awesomeness of this wallpaper would have been significantly decreased overall. Thank you, Pip!

Enjoy, everyone! Let's hope it brings the winning ways back to the team (and the hitting ways... and the non-Paulino ways...)

GO ROCKIES!

Thank you.

I appreciate all the work you put into these.
