Mets fans watch team lose to Dodgers in NLCS during watch party at Citi Field

This Amazin’ ride is all she wrote.

New York Mets fans were left disappointed, but not surprised when their team lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers 10-5 Sunday night — accepting the loss after a magical postseason as part of being a blue and orange fan while vowing to root against their crosstown rivals in the World Series.

“It’s always tough when you get this close. It breaks your heart because you invest so much into your team all season long, through the highs and the lows,” Long Island resident Walter Nilsson, 60, told The Post at a watch party attended by thousands at Citi Field Sunday.

“Then when the playoffs came around and we had the tease of a Subway Series, things really got exciting. It’s extra salt in the wound that the Yankees made it to the final series and we didn’t.

“But that’s what being a Mets fan is all about – just picking yourself up the next year and believing that this is it.” 

The team hosted a viewing party at its home field in Queens for Game 6 of the NLCS in which the Mets played an away game against the Dodgers.

But late in the game, as it appeared a Mets loss was inevitable, fans started streaming out of the venue for the last time this year.

Sunnyside local Franky Bwire was again faced with the crushing feeling of defeat.

“I’m pretty depressed. It’s what I expected, but I’m still really bummed out,” the 33-year-old fan said. “We had the talent, we had the management, we had all the pieces in place. But we just couldn’t bring it home, and it hurts. We just weren’t good enough, again.”

With the New York Yankees clinching a World Series berth in a dramatic win over the Cleveland Guardians Saturday night, Mets fans said they have no choice but to root for the team that just eliminated their ball club.

“Dodgers all the way, baby. Five minutes ago I wanted them to burn in hell, but from now till the end of October I’m a diehard LA fan,” Long Island resident Joe Viviani, 64, told The Post. “I hope they win in four.”

“F–k no I’m not for the Yankees. I don’t particularly like LA right now because they just whipped our a–, but I’d get at least a little satisfaction seeing them do the same to those full-of-themselves Yankees,” said Lisa Krueger, 54, of Manhattan.

And Tim Murray, who’s from Queens, swore he would “never go for the Yankees.”

“The Dodgers denied us a Subway Series where we would’ve wrapped up the Yankees ourselves, so now we’re leaving it up to them to do the job,” the 50-year-old claimed.

The Mets struggled to start the season but went on an incredible run to reach the postseason.

The team then topped the Milwaukee Brewers and Philadelphia Phillies in the first two rounds before losing to the superstar Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers.  

“Listen, the better team is going to the World Series, and my hat goes off to LA,” said Luis Adames, 42, from Washington Heights. “But my hat goes off to the Mets because they fought and fought and would not give up, and they got us to this point. And if they can do it this year, they’ve got the formula to do it next year, so go Mets!”

And Long Islander Ted Bureau is already ready for next year.

“I love this team. They gave us a hell of a ride,” the 34-year-old told The Post.

“Who would have thought in June or July that we ever would have made it to this point? I give them all the credit in the world. Yeah, I’m disappointed, but these guys played their hearts out,” he said.

“They gave us so much hope, and I’m proud of all the fans who hung in there with them. On to 2025.”
