  • Players gave a “thumbs down” gesture to fans during a game because they didn’t like being booed. Their feelings were hurt.

  • Javy Baez and Francisco Lindor apologized.

It’s another thumbs-down for the Mets.

Acting General Manager Zack Scott is facing driving while intoxicated charges after he was busted dozing in his car in White Plains, The Post has learned.

Scott, 44, was nabbed at 4:17 a.m. Tuesday when cops caught him snoozing in a 2018 Toyota on South Lexington Avenue near the federal courthouse, White Plains Police Capt. James Spencer said Wednesday.

The embattled GM refused to give blood or submit to a breathalyzer but underwent a field sobriety test and failed, Spencer said.
