"Every game we left on the field, every opportunity that slipped away, we felt it just as you did."But we also felt something immense: the unconditional support of every Mets fan. You were the reason we gave everything in every game, the motivation that pushed us to keep going even in the toughest moments. Thank you for believing, thank you for being with us. With love and respect. 🙏 ❤️" View this post on Instagram Instagram PostThe Mets finished the regular season with an 83-79 record and went 5-5 in their last 10 games.
