Its hard to call, Mets are a great team no doubt, but their record is definitely inflated by being in the NL.
I think our problem is definitely still starting pitching. As you said Wang and Mussina have been great all year, Johnson has flirted with brilliance on quite a few occasions but also had some awful starts, I think he's definitely gotten more consistent as the season has progressed though. Lidle has also shown some good stuff since coming over, Wright has been good in spells but I dunno if we can rely on him come playoffs purely because he so rarely goes beyond the 5th or 6th.
As far as defense goes I see our two problems being obvious ones, A-Rod at 3rd and Johnny Damon in centre. Damon isn't bad, but his arm leaves a lot to be desired. Cabrera has done a great job btw!
Offensively we're one of the 2 or 3 best teams in baseball Imo, even without Matsui and Sheff
