New York Mets vs George Bush
In a contest of what organization is run worse, who would win; the United States under George Bush or the New York Mets under Fred Wilpon. I think I have covered the case for Bush, now lets looks at the Mets. They are about to finish the season with the 3rd worse ratio of money spend on players to amount of total wins. They are in second to last place, only ahead of the pathetic, low budget Expos. Of course, the Mets just hired a new General Manager to run their team. You ask, did they get someone from a winning team or even a decent team? No, they got the guy from the Montreal Expos, the only team that finished behind the Mets.
Do you know that Mo Vaughn is still on the Mets payroll (for $17 mil/year). That Mike Cameron is batting .233 and has more strikeouts than hits (only $4.3mil). Richard Hildalgo is batting .228, also with more strikeouts than hits ($12.5mil!). Jason Phillips, batting .220, Todd Ziele, .234; Cliff Floyd, .260. The Mets don't have a single player
