Mets Need To Make A Move

The memory of that nine game winning streak has faded and the Mets open a six-game home stand against San Diego and Florida looking very much like the team that has struggled for much of the season. The good news is they are much closer to the division and wild-card contenders then they were in June but the bad news is injuries and a shaky bullpen might be too much to overcome.

Jose Reyes and Carlos Delgado are swinging hot bats but David Wright has come up short in a lot of key situations and Carlos Beltran can’t get in any kind of good groove. Despite that the Mets would probably be in first place if not for the bullpen which has failed time and time again to protect leads. Now with Billy Wagner’s and John Maine on the DL
you wonder if the relief corps can handle the job or this season will go up in smoke.

With the exception of the Marlins this weekend five the Mets next six opponents have losing records so the time to move is NOW!
