THE FOYLE MONTA

If a monta-ellis-to-adonal-foyle-alley-oop ever were a significant part of the warriors' offense, the title of this post would make an awesome game-sign pun on "the full monty." It's too bad adonal foyle is now merely the warriors' version of the human victory cigar, because phoebe would like to rock a "DALLAS: FOYLED AGAIN!" sign on tuesday night. oh yes, we were at oracle arena today, not only for the 2nd consecutive home blow-out, but also for the after-game event -- everyone staying in their seats watching the clippers score update on the jumbotron. yes, the clippers are horrible enough to lose to the kings. incredible. the warriors will make the playoffs IF 1) they win against dallas and portland, 2) they lose to dallas, and beat portland, while the clippers beat the hornets and lose to the suns 3) if they win one game and the lakers manage to lose both of their remaining games . . . the important thing is that the clippers seriously shouldn't be able to beat the suns, so the warriors *should* make the playoffs even if they lose to dallas. i am going to keep quiet because i do not want to ignite an evil jinx, but i did just put down our deposit on round 1 playoff tickets. damn. and i really want to go to baron davis' birthday party tonight, hosted by mos def at mezzanine in sf. boom dizzle's birthday is only 1 day after mine. and he's only 2 years older than me even though he looks like a crazy 60-year old man with his new beard combined with his frequent-as-of-late (celebratory) scowl-faced yelling. probably, instead of going to a hip-hop club downtown, i'll just put on my new warriors headband and work on my upcoming piece, "YOUR COURT", which is, quite literally, going to be a radio-based audio installation for interactive basketball-court.

for baseball: the tigers front of the rotation looks awesome so far: bonderman, verlander, robertson and maroth are all going to have great seasons. until kenny rogers gets re-built, i'd scrap durbin (who is bleeding runs) and pull grilli out of the bullpen for some starts. he looked awesome the other day in 3 scoreless innings.
