Can they find some consistency?
It’s been a tough couple of years over at Cronin Field, at least by the Eagles’ standards, where they’ve been 11-11. Last year was the ultimate question mark, as SJP toppled might Everett yet finished with a losing record.

Is Beverly Republican City Committee member Brett Schetzsle running for state representative? It looks like it, according to an entry last week on the North Shore Young Republicans blog.
The blog item refers to “NSYR’s very own Brett Schetzsle, candidate for Beverly State Representative.” I just asked Schetzsle if he is, in fact, going to run [...]
Count Lowell Congresswoman Niki Tsongas out of the race for Kennedy’s seat.
Her office just issued a release (about 1 p.m.) stating that a report in Sunday’s Lowell Sun that she was giving the idea serious thought was incorrect.
“I feel privileged to serve in the U.S. Congress and my efforts are entirely focused on effectively representing [...]

It was an odd season last year for Salem, which [...]

The defense, especially in [...]
Former mayor Jack Monahan checked in yesterday with his remembrances of Ted Kennedy.
Monahan said he and Neil Desmond, then chairman of the city’s Harbor Authority, traveled to Washington in the late ’60s seeking federal money to dredge the harbor. When they visited Kennedy, Monahan jokingly asked Desmond if he could set up a “courtesy mooring” [...]
While much is no doubt happening behind the scenes, don’t look for any public expression of interest in Ted Kennedy’s Senate seat until after his burial in Arlington National Cemetery this weekend.
Meanwhile momentum seems to be growing for emergency legislation that would allow Gov. Patrick to appoint someone to fill the seat temporarily. The senator’s [...]
It’s time to take advantage of one of the best deals of the summer — the semi-annual Newspapers in Education book sale.
