The DEA has never succeeded in stopping any more than 10 percent of the drugs on the market, even by the most optimistic estimates. The Drug Strike Force hopes that this solid .100 or less hitter will greatly improve their winning percentage. Naturally, the Drug Strike Force will not focus on the overall percentage of wins but will instead highly publicize every bloop single and accidental score. No matter what happens, every member of the team will be deemed a hero, even when they wind up with a winning percentage that wouldn't get them into the minor leagues. Yeah, this will really work out great. Keep up the good media work. It is the only success they will ever see.
