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

This amazing ride is everything she wrote.

New York Mets fans were disappointed but not surprised when their team lost 10-5 to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday night. They accepted defeat after a magical postseason as part of their role as blue and orange fans while vowing to fight their crosstown rivals in the World Series.

“It's always hard when you're so close. “It breaks your heart because you invest so much in your team throughout the season, through the ups and downs,” Walter Nilsson, 60, of Long Island, told the Post at a watch party attended by thousands at Citi Field on attended on Sunday.

“When the playoffs came and we were looking forward to a Subway Series, things got really exciting. It's added salt in the wound that the Yankees made it to the Finals and we didn't.

“But that’s what it’s all about as a Mets fan: picking yourself up 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, when it became apparent that a Mets loss was inevitable, fans began to leave the venue for the last time this year.

Sunnyside resident Franky Bwire once again faced the crushing feeling of defeat.

“I'm pretty depressed. It's what I expected, but I'm still pretty depressed,” said the 33-year-old fan. “We had the talent, we had the management, we had everything under control. 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 spot in the World Series with a dramatic win over the Cleveland Guardians on Saturday night, Mets fans said they had no choice but to cheer for the team that just eliminated its ball club.

“Dodgers through and through, baby. Five minutes ago I wanted them to burn in hell, but from now until the end of October I'm a die-hard LA fan,” Joe Viviani, 64, of Long Island told The Post. “I hope they win in four games.”

“Hell no, I’m not for the Yankees. “I don't like LA much right now because they just blew us away, but I would at least feel a little satisfaction if they did the same thing to those smug Yankees,” said Lisa Krueger, 54, of Manhattan.

And Tim Murray, a Queens native, vowed he would “never play for the Yankees.”

“The Dodgers denied us a Subway Series in which we would have beaten the Yankees themselves, so now we're leaving it to them to do the job,” the 50-year-old claimed.

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

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

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

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

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

“Who would have thought in June or July that we would ever get this far? I give them all the credit in the world. Yes, I'm disappointed, but these guys gave their heart and soul,” he said.

“They gave us so much hope and I’m proud of all the fans who stuck with them. Here’s to 2025.”
