"I've been speechless about a lot of different things," starting pitcher Matt Harvey said. "This is definitely one of them."
From Wilpon, the champagne bottle made its way to the hands of pitcher Jon Niese, the architect of last week's beer-soaked slip-and-slide in the Dodger Stadium clubhouse. This time, Niese hoisted the bottle around the room, pouring it into the mouths of teammates, coaches, employees, anyone in his path.
Again, the Mets were celebrating. First it was in Great American Ball Park in September, when they clinched their first NL East title since 2006.
