Good news, everyone!  4:3 aspect ratios are here!  Bad news, everyone: I couldn't find a way to re-organize the stuff on the paper to make it "fit" better to that aspect ratio, so I took the easy way out and just scaled down what I had and added more border around it.  Mea culpa.  Next time around, I'll develop both ratios at the same time.

If you've got any special resolution requests, let me know!  I won't be able to get them done before Game 2, but they'll be in your hands either tomorrow night or Friday morning :) .

Go Rockies!

Something short and sweet I threw together in just a few hours after tonight's amazing win vs. the Giants.  These next 3 dates have been circled on my calendar for a month now.  It's time you make sure they are circled on yours.

BEAT LA!  GO ROCKIES!

Last month was bad...pulling double-shifts at work, my girlfriend coming back early from field training with a badly sprained ankle - throw in a vacation around the All-Star Break and you've got an overly busy month.  So just for all you loyal followers out there, I learned how to put textures onto fonts :) .

Let me know what you think of this month's edition!  I'm headed to bed for now (3 am and such), but when I come back tomorrow night I'll sit down and watch our boys do battle with the Phillies while making up any special resolutions that people want (jrockies, should I just start making you one each month?) and getting to work on some mobile versions.  I've also got a few other wallpaper ideas floating around in my brain...since I have a relatively light workweek, you may just get 3 or 4 wallpapers this time around :) .

Enjoy as always, and Go Rockies!

(for those not sure what this is about, you may want to read this thread first)

Not even a 51 minute rain delay in the 4th inning could slow down the Hammel train tonight as he dominated the hapless Mets lineup through 7 2/3 innings.  After allowing only 4 hits until the 7th, Jason finally showed signs of wear as he allowed 3 in that frame, including a 2-RBI double by Angel Pagan.  Solid bullpen work thereafter by Chacin, Betancourt, and Street with Daley providing an 8-pitch, 2 hit, 1 earned run hiccup in the 8th.

A solid outing by the Rockies offense as well, with the big power provided by the bat of Garrett Atkins.  His grand slam in the 3rd put the Rockies up 5-1, and a two-run shot in the next inning by Brad Hawpe would put the game away for good.  After that, the Mets wouldn't sniff a win expectancy over 10% until the 8th inning.

Check after the jump for more WE/WPA goodness, the fangraph, the RowCall, and tomorrow's action.

I wanted to give everyone a brief update.  About two weeks ago I fell victim to a bad computer virus (Win32Trojan.TDSS, if you're interested - Google it if you want, it's real nasty), and earlier this week I had to throw in the towel and reformat my computer.  So I lost a lot of stuff, most notably my copy of Photoshop.  I'm still waiting for my friend that can get me a good Photoshop hookup to come through, which should be on Friday.

tl;dr: Hopefully I can get a July wallpaper done by the end of the holiday weekend for everyone.  Thanks for being patient with me!  Especially cause this time it wasn't just me being busy and/or lazy :P .
