SPRINGFIELD, ILL. – Writer’s block can strike at any time and it has struck like a bolt of lightning. Only random thoughts are creeping in.
First of all, the Willie Randolph firing has to be addressed by this reporter. I think Omar Minaya issued a sucker punch to the solar plexus with his late-night, left-coast, lobotomy. That said, as much as I like Willie and think he’s a class act, it was time for him to go. He just wasn’t getting nearly what he should out of the Miracle, uh, Moribund Mutts. The Joe Torre father figure calmness was not the way to go with a squad that needed a few overturned buffets, benchings, and brutal honesty about hustle and commitment.
China is preparing to drill for oil 60 miles off the Florida coast.
Can we get to the election already because I don’t know how you feel, but this campaign is longer than Joan River’s plastic surgery bill.
Two things I just can’t get into. College Baseball and Women’s Hoops.
People that need to go away. Pacman, sorry, Adam Jones, Arlen Specter, and James Dolan.
People I can’t get enough of. Ozzie Guillen, Barry Melrose, and Natalie Gulbis.
Just give Paul Giamatti the Emmy for John Adams, no one else has a chance.
It is not necessary to fill every single second of a sports broadcast with chatter.
I want to go to Iceland, I don’t know why, I just do.
Get Smart was very good. I smell sequel.
I don’t think Dane Cook is funny.
Robert Caro’s “The Power Broker” is a must read for any New Yorker.
There is no substitute for swimming in the ocean.
The NFL is the best sports league on the planet. Nothing even comes close.
Happy Summer
Rex

| Rex, you've delivered in the clutch so many times that I think you are allowed to have a Larry King posting every now and again. I thought you were a bit too kind to Dane Cook though. How someone like this becomes famous is beyond me. |

| Wait a minute... Is B. Cox now writing your column, Rex??? If so, we didn't get the memo. In fact, we have been losing control of our squad here. Writer's Block, unapproved subs, trips to Moab and duplicate personalities... Hey, we're starting to sound like a couple of Willies! Uh oh, where's Omar? |

| Matts, if you do get fired who will take your place? I hope its not any guys from SNY - they are awful. Rex, you are still a joy to read - at least you came to work and tried. |

| Why does college baseball allow the use of aluminum bats? Until they use real wood bats it won't be real baseball. Ozzie Guillen is an idiot though and personally wish he would just shut up and let his team play baseball. |
