Bruce's Journal

Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I retired six years ago after working as a Science/Engineering Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark for 25 years. I was married to Karen until she passed away in February 2021. I have a son Lee who is now 35 years old. I am very much interested in the popular music of the 1960s, especially Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I am interested in rock and roll radio. I am an enthusiastic fan of the New York Mets.

The Mets Lost to the Yankees 5-4

I bought a six pack of tickets to the Mets so I can see one game against the Yankees live. The Mets were ahead 4-0 going into the top of the ninth. Billy Wagner, the closer, was brought in. He walked several batters until Will Randolph took him out. It was too late, since the Yankees tied it up. The Yankees scored a run in the top of the 11th to win it 5-4. Oh well.

My beloved Red Sox won (again) and they could have went a game up on the Yanks if the Mets bullpen didn't unravel. I am upset with the Muts. What is up with this team signing free-agents whose skills evaporate faster than a keg of Guinness at McGovern's on Saint Patty's day? (Yes, there are some things I miss about Newark).
There are only two things I hate in this world; and the Yankees are the Other One.; May 21, 2006 at 2:51 AM
