It could be worse

A few months back I like many other Mets fans day-dreamed about new ownership for the Mets. I'm still pulling for you Mr. Cuban.

But an interesting name came up Donald Trump. He has money; he has New York roots, why not. I'll tell you why not he's nuts.

I heard Boomer and Carton talking about him on the radio this morning; apparently he was saying that LaGuardia airport is like a third world airport. This guy has two speeds talk and sleep.

Picture this scenario Trump buys the Mets; they lose a game Terry Collins is called up to his office. Trump is behind a table, that old dude George is on one side of him a very uncomfortable Sandy Alderson is on the other. "Terry, Your fired".

The next night on the Tonight Show he announces that he is going to pick the next Mets manager on the next installment of the apprentice.

After burning through a few interim managers, he starts trying to change the players. "Alderson sign Willie Mays to play center field this Pagan guy is a joke!"

"With all due respect Mr. Trump. Willie Mays is nearly eighty years old," Alderson replies.  Trump stares.

Sensing his new boss was joking Alderson joked back "perhaps if we had a time machine."

Trump nods his head. "That's why I keep you around. Get the time machine warmed up. Ok you can leave, tell Jay Horowitz to come in he has to write up an announcement about our new centerfielder."

It would be like 1980s era George Steinbrenner.

Honestly as horrible as it would be for him to own the Mets it would be way worse if he were President of the United States, so if you have to choose one, ahhh choose the Mets. We Mets fans suffer enough already.
