No champagne here as NY Mets open final road series against Nationals

The Mets are roughly 240 miles south of the Yankees right now, but they might as well be on a different planet. In one clubhouse, they were cleaning champagne and beer off the carpet. In the other, some players looked like they could use a cup of coffee.

The subdued atmosphere was similar to the last time the Mets were here, in late July, which shows just how long it’s been since the Mets have played in meaningful games.

With the Yankees dominating the headlines in New York, the Mets began a three-game series against the last-place Nationals that was meaningless even by the Mets’ 2009 standard of irrelevance.

Manager Jerry Manuel noted the shrinking number of media members still covering the team when reporters walked into his office Monday afternoon. Somehow, the pitching matchup of Nelson Figueroa against Ross Detwiler didn’t draw a big crowd in the press box.

Mets now in position to play spoiler

The Mets travel to sunny Florida this weekend looking to dish out some revenge served cold.

The Marlins are the team that knocked the Mets out of playoff contention in New York on the final day of each of the past two regular seasons. With some help from Colorado, the Mets can return the favor.

After Wednesday’s come-from-behind win over the Phillies, Florida stands 4 1/2 games behind the Wild Card-leading Rockies. Colorado closes a four-game series with the Padres on Thursday before hosting the Cardinals for three this weekend. If any combination of Rockies wins and Marlins losses reaches six, Florida will be mathematically eliminated from the postseason.

Citi Field a boon to Castillo, Murphy

Through much of its inaugural season, Citi Field has been branded a pitcher’s ballpark.

Especially when compared to the new jewel of the Bronx, Citi Field’s expansive dimensions and high outfield walls seem designed to minimize offense. But that is true only to an extent. Although Citi Field has yielded only 128 home runs — ranking 11th among National League ballparks — a bigger outfield has led to more success for contact hitters.
