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.

11 Hours of Mets Baseball in 2 Days

Last night the Mets lost to the Phillies 5-4 in 14 innings while today in a game that started at 3 PM the Mets won 5-4. At least they didn't lose both games. They had a 4-0 lead in today's game, but the Phillies tied it up. Jacob DeGroom pitched a good game, but the Mets couldn't hold the lead. They called up journeyman pitcher Buddy Carlisle who pitched 3 scoreless innings to win. I just don't like the idea of bringing in a pitcher to get just one out. It really depletes the bullpen, but that is today's style of managing.
