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.

Subway Series Part 2 - Good Start for the Mets

I was not at last night's game, but watched it on TV. The Mets scored 5 runs in the first inning and held on to a 6-4 victory led by a three run homer by Ike Davis and a fine pitching performance by Jon Niese. The Mets strength this season has been their ability to score with 2 outs. The Yankees strength has been the home run. They got back into the game by home runs by Alex Rodriguez, Andruw Jones, and Robinson Cano. There are no cheap home runs at Citifield. The Yankees have scored more than half of their runs on homers this season so far. We will be at the game tonight.
