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.

Yankees 5 Mets 0 in Second Game of the Subway Series

Noah Syndergaard gave up a three run homer to Carlos Beltran and a two run homer to Brian McCan as the Bronx Bombers took game 2 of the Subway Series. The Mets hitting also went south as they could only get 6 hits struck out 12 times. I thought that Joe Girardi overmanaged as he made too many pitching changes with a 5 run lead. I guess this is what is to be expected when the rosters are expanded.

The Washington Nationals beat Miami today 5-2 so the magic number remains at 8. I sure hope that the Mets will snap out of this mini-slump. I still remember the collapses of 2007 and 2008.
