Buyers or Sellers?

Omar Minaya said he pictures the Mets being Buyers because we are only 6.5 games back in the Wild Card(when he said this, now 7.5).

Realistically I just can't see myself justifying the Mets being buyers, they are 7.5 in the Wild Card behind 7 teams and 10 back in the division. It would take a miracle to make a comeback like this with only 68 games left in the season. While I would have some optimism if the Mets were playing with a full squad, they are playing with a minor league, AAAA roster, and David Wright. You just are not gonna win Major League games with Angel Berroa, Cory Sullivan, and Brian Schneider batting consecutively, its just not gonna happen.

While the Mets have had a slew of injuries this year which is not the fault of management, not having better backups and not making trades to fill those spots is. The Mets should have went out and got some bullpen help when Putz got injured but instead they called up Elmer Dessens. Why he has pitched ok we are a big market team and we should have the money to go out and get an 8th inning guy. The Mets should have traded for a backup outfielder with some pop(Scott Hairston anyone) when Sheffield starting having leg problems. And worst of the Mets should have went out and got an everyday center fielder(Alex Rios) when Carlos Beltran got hurt

A month or so ago the Mets should have been buyers, they were still in it but management chose to sit on there ass and do nothing about it. But there is no way that the Mets can still consider themselves buyers.
