The Mets, already suffering from an 8 percent decline in home attendance, an out-of-contention ballclub and owners who expect to lose about $60 million this season, are about to suffer yet another indignity — they are about to drop into 14th place in baseball’s average attendance standings.

The Mets haven’t been this low in MLB’s attendance race since 2004. Last year they finished 12th after drawing enough fans to finish in seventh place in 2009 and second place in 2008.

The struggling Mets have had average attendance this year of 30,891.
