MBTA general manager to throw out first pitch at Fenway tonight (assuming the Green Line isn't delayed)
By adamg on Fri, 05/28/2010 - 10:09am
It'll be a T-mendous day at Fenway Park: In addition to Richard Davey throwing out the first pitch (the Sox and the T have long promoted use of public transit to get to and from Fenway), the Sox will honor Orange Line train operator Charice Lewis and inspector Jacqueline Osorio for the way they stopped a train just inches from that drunk lady who fell on the tracks at North Station last fall. Also, the MBTA Transit Police Color Guard Unit will present the flag for the national anthem.

FWIW
it seems like service is improving, at least from my experience.
to be clear, I am the guy in
to be clear, I am the guy in the tie.
Duh
Come on...that's blatantly obvious.
How stupid do you think we are? I mean, you *are* wearing a name badge. ;)
I hope you don't get boo'ed,
I hope you don't get boo'ed, if you do, it will be because of your predecessors and the system you inherited, not you. Keep up the good work and get us our Somerville green line stat!
Perhaps they can also replace "Sweet Caroline"
with "Charlie on the MTA" for this game as well.
That's a fantastic idea...
...or maybe they can sing them both? Send an email to Red Sox PR STAT!
I just e-mailed my suggestion to them.
For others who would like to do so as well, here's the link.

Of course, given that the game will start in about six hours, I'm not sure if it will do any good.
Irony and the GM
I would have thought someone would have already said this, but maybe I missed it.
You have to appreciate the irony here - the General Manager of the T threw out the first pitch the night before the single line that probably diverts the greatest amount of car traffic to Fenway is taken off line. All those people who normally park at Riverside and Woodland and T in to Fenway - well, they're doing something else, and I don't think it's bicycling.
