  Right on. Great column. This has been a bone of contention of mine for the last decade. Just look at the shooting % of Saturday's games: 19 of 50; 12 of 53; 22 of 59; 19 of 61. Enough blame to go arou more »

  Posted 01/17/2013 08:59:06 EST

  Here we go again. Sports radio analysis. Francona has succeeded in moving attention away from his failures as a manager and put the onus on the front office. He built his case on a few throw away casu more »

  Jim Lehrer never did what Keller did. A year ago I attended a book reading given by Lehrer at the Brattle Theatre. At no time did he compromise himself by revealing back stage info on the many debates more »

  Posted 07/12/2012 08:02:53 EDT

  Another fawning piece by Gary Washburn on an aging athlete whose skills are declining, but can't admit it. Again, Ray has lost a couple of steps the last 3 seasons or so. Before his bone chips injury, more »

• Comment on: Steve Donahue has BC basketball looking up - Sports - The Boston Globe

  Posted 02/10/2012 03:12:08 EST

  Blaudschun must be a public relations agent for Eagles coaches. He was the only one defending the justly fired Skinner and now this about an 8-16 coach. Donahue subs way too much and as a result there more »

  Posted 01/24/2012 07:29:14 EST

  What a great column and so well written! And in the posted comments many well reasoned support for KPD. I was incensed when I heard what TT did. Question - didn't GM Chirelli say that TT was obligated more »

  Posted 12/23/2011 11:09:44 EST

  I was at the game and Blaudschun missed the most important story, the play of FLATL's 5'6" guard Taylor. Particularly late in the first half and early in the 2nd half he broke down the Harvard defense more »

• Comment on: BC basketball wins 3d straight win - Sports - The Boston Globe

  Posted 12/22/2011 08:50:29 EST

  I wouldn't get too excited like Baldschun. BC's been playing borderline D2 teams. The big question is will Donahue be fired if BC doesn't win a single ACC game; or wins only 1 game & gets embarassed a more »

  Burns said in the last 50 years but I would expand it to Post WWII and say that Ike was # 1; Bush # 2. Ike ended the Korean war and had a far more difficult task threading the beginning of the Cold Wa more »
