But even at full speed, the hustling second baseman didn’t have enough to beat a throw to home and was cut down at the plate in the third inning of the Red Sox’ 3..

    Harris: Firing Claude Julien will not help Bruins in future
    Even before the puck dropped yesterday at the Garden, the presumption here and throughout the NHL universe was that Bruins coach Claude Julien would be fired if his team failed to make the playoffs.If there was any doubt, it might well have been removed by the way Julien’s team played in losing Game 82 to the Ottawa Senators by a 6-1 final.The B’s playoff-less fate was sealed a couple of hours later when the Philadelphia Flyers beat the Pittsburgh Penguins to claim the second wild card spot in t..

    Every single day, Keenan Reynolds walks through the Belichick Library at Ricketts Hall on the campus of the United States Naval Academy.So every day, the program’s record-setting quarterback is reminded of Bill Belichick’s affinity for the Midshipmen.

  • Father's labor of love puts 5 kids through Boston College

    Father's labor of love puts 5 kids through Boston College
    It was past midnight, and all was quiet inside Robsham Theater, a sprawling performance space at Boston College.Fred Vautour sponged down sinks, scrubbed toilets, and polished mirrors. Pushing a yellow cart loaded with a mop, broom, and cleaning supplies, he moved on to the hallway, where he swept up paper scraps and cleaned the large windows looking onto the campus. In the distance, the Gothic towers of Gasson Hall and Bapst Library faded into the dark sky. In a little more than 12 hours, Eliz..

    Marcus Smart finding his shooting stroke
    BOSTON – One of the reasons Marcus Smart has been such a high impact defensive player for the Boston Celtics is because of his timing. So it only makes sense that Smart, who has struggled mightily with his shot most of this season, would find his stride on the eve of the playoffs. The second-year guard was one of the few positives the Celtics could took away from their 118-107 loss at Atlanta on Saturday, providing hope that Boston can close out the regular season and go into the playoffs with ..

    Finally, it's baseball's turn at Fenway
    The ancient walls of Fenway Park have seen some pretty unusual stuff since the last-place Red Sox slinked out of town at the end of September. In November, we witnessed Fenway football for the first time since Gino Cappelletti dropped field goals into the bullpens in the 1960s. The Fighting Irish of Notre Dame shook down the thunder against Boston College, and then Boston English, Boston Latin, and six other EMass rivals brought Thanksgiving football to Yawkey Way. This was followed by a Galwa..
