The Knicks are Leon Rose, who has just capped off as great a front-office performance as his sport has ever seen. The Mets are David Stearns, who has done very little right since taking over the front office of the Mets. Leon Rose fired a coach last spring because he thought it would win him a championship. David Stearns just fired a manager to try to get out of last place with one of the biggest payrolls in baseball history. And to save his own job. New York, New York.
