Dan Kennedy notes that the Herald's Inside Track recently slammed Boston Magazine ("the older and increasingly irrelevant Boston maggie") without disclosing that the Track Gals both write for Boston Magazine competitor Boston Common.

We go to Steadfast Correspondent for this live report:

... Although nothing has been confirmed, I am hearing that Sept. 8 will be the last broadcast of "The Ten O'Clock News" on WLVI-TV 56.

Once the only 10 p.m. newscast in Boston, the station's ratings have tanked over the past few years as Fox 25 News at 10 has blown them out of the water.

WVLI reportedly lost $750K last year on their news division. ...

On Dan Shaughnessy Watch, Jenny takes time off from bashing the CHB to bashing the Herald's Tony Massarotti and whoever fed him the story about Jon Lester's enlarged lymph nodes:

... First of all, whoever leaked this information should be fired. If it was a Sox official, I want them gone. If it was a health professional, I want them gone and I want them arrested for a HIPAA violation (yes, you can be jailed for that).

Joel Brown is shocked, shocked that a newspaper in Idaho misspells the name of the street the MFA is on.

OK, probably the only man-bulge analysis of the week: Mike Mennonno takes a look (a pretty close look) at the Weekly Dig's recent man-in-tighty-pinkies cover.

On Dan Shaughnessy Watch, Jenny marvels at the suddenly once-a-day CHB, dissects his writing and gets very disturbed at a passage that describes how Terry Francona started coughing up blood during a post-game press conference:

His Shankness concludes from the past few games that Ramirez is off in orbit again:

... Bloggers, e-mail friends, fanboys, and other wonderful Globe readers: Please, this is not a Manny rip job. These are facts. ...

He then proceeds to state how wonderfully Ramirez has played the rest of the year, but announces we need to be suspicious because Ramirez won't talk to the media. Ever wonder why he won't talk to you, Mr. CHB?

First, let's all breathe a collective sigh of relief that David Ortiz is "a healthy son of a bitch" who was suffering from no more than dehydration and stress last weekend (update: Or maybe not). We know that from reading Dan Shaughnessy's column today. The one in which Shank admits he's completely out of the loop:

The Herald reports that David Ortiz was indeed kept overnight at Mass. General last weekend to monitor an irregular heat beat - two days after Carpundit reported the news (still no news, however, on the MGH staffers allegedly fired for asking Big Papi for an autograph):

Well, OK, technically, it's his NECN program, not the male half of the former Anchorcouple, at least, not yet, but still, hey, WordPress and all.

Via Blue Mass. Group, which notes that Curtis does seem to get the series of tubes - he participated in a discussion with those bloggers a few months ago.

Was it only yesterday that the CHB was calling Ramirez a whiny, lying fourth grader?

News that Ramirez may, in fact, have the same sort of problem that's sidelined Jason Varitek, gets Dan Kennedy to wondering when we might expect an apology from His Shankness.

But you wouldn't know it from reading this article in today's Globe.

Memo to Globe business editors: learn something about the SUM ATM network.

Sully leaps to defend Ramirez against media attacks:

... What I do know is that, unlike the racist, bloviating Boston mainstream press I am not going to pin the current Red Sox plight on the one guy that had the balls to show up over the weekend against the Bombers. ...

The media point out the free parking for police near Fenway yesterday. The police (in the form of John Daley) point out the pot-kettleness of the story:

Just for argument's sake, let's pretend that John Kerry and Kerry Healey divorce their spouses, then marry each other. Would Kerry Healey change her name to Kerry Kerry (and then go challenge New Hampshire's Dudley Dudley to a double-name grudge match - unless, of course, Dudley Dudley then one upped her by marrying former wrestler Dudley Dudley, thus making her Dudley Dudley Dudley)?

Hey, a guy can dream, can't he?

City report seeks civilian input and ombudsman.

Mass Marrier: It is way past time to cull the wheat from the chaff:

... Police are no better at self-monitoring than physicians or accountants. Of course, the biggest difference is that they carry the force of law and can kill someone or send him into a hell of courts and prisons, occasionally wrongly.

Because otherwise people might start wondering about a campaign that lies about its involvement in what Blue Mass. Group is calling KillerCokegate.

Andy at Mass. Revolution Now would love to hear Reilly address the issue:

Is it odd that the same day the Phoenix slammed Oliver Stone as a Republican sellout for failing to bash Bush in his new movie, it got the U.S. Marines to co-sponsor a free concert? Or that the Phoenix would get pissed when one of the bands objected?

Who does a better job of summarizing the arts coverage in the morning papers? Joel Brown on HubArts or WBUR's revamped (i.e., Bill Marx-less) Attitude?
