Mets fans react after team blows late lead in 12th straight loss

The New York Mets were welcomed home after a long, strenuous road trip with cold weather and a half-empty Citi Field on Tuesday.

And for their sake, including owner Steve Cohen, they might have gotten lucky that the ballpark wasn’t anywhere near capacity.

At first, though, it looked as if the Mets were going to get the monkey off their back following 11 consecutive losses.

Team leader Francisco Lindor sent a moon shot into the stands to put the Mets up 3-0 early, and it felt as if everything was going their way into the deeper innings.

But right when one thing went wrong for New York, everything unraveled.

The Minnesota Twins tied the game in the 7th inning before the new Mets closer, Devin Williams, signed in the offseason, put the dagger in his own fanbase’s heart.

Williams struggled in New York last season with the Yankees, and though he believed a new start across town with the Mets would change his fortunes, it might have only gotten worse in Queens.

The Mets closer faced five batters and recorded zero outs before leaving to a chorus of boos with the team, which went down 5-3.

In the bottom of the ninth, the Mets’ offense did nothing to change things around, and the fans continued their jeers as the second-most expensive roster in MLB dropped their 12th straight game.

Over 1,000 people responded to the team’s official social media post announcing the final score.

The reviews weren’t kind to the Mets, their players, their coaches, and especially their ownership.
