MBTA to run 'near rush-hour' subway service on Saturday
By adamg - 6/16/11 - 3:37 pmThe T says it's beefing up service on Saturday for the Bruins victory parade, which kicks off at 11 a.m. at the Garden.
All four subway lines will run at "near rush hour" schedules during the day. The T says it will also have extra orange-vested workers stationed throughout the system to help riders unfamiliar with how to use CharlieCards or get to the parade route.
The T said commuter rail will run on its normal Saturday schedule, but that it hopes to announce some additional service tomorrow.
Because of the expected crush of fans at the Garden, the T is urging people who want to be right there to use other stations, such as Haymarket and Government Center, or even Park Street and Downtown Crossing, and then walk over.

We'll have none of that: Fans outside the Garden after Game 6. Photo by Courtney Sacco.
Just not enough time to plan security, hizzonah determines:
"Some people get exuberant have a few and act up, and you know, this is a sport, and a lot of families who like to watch sports bring kids, and I wouldn't want to send the wrong message to anyone," said Mayor Menino.

A Boston team embarasses itself
By adamg - 1/16/11 - 8:44 pm
No, not them. Our local lacrosse team, the Boston Blazers, are apologizing for a halftime show at the Garden on Saturday that, in the words of the New York Daily News:
Featured scantily clad dancers competing to see who could give the Blazers' mascot, Scorch, the best lap dance.
Video (look at the monitors at the top of the screen). Cameron Frye has a photo of Scorch with the three women about to rock his world.
It was part of a promotion by JAM'N 94.5, which presumably won't be invited back for another "Hustle's Blazin Babes Halftime Show." As the Blazers said:
We have already taken steps to ensure this never happens again at one of our games.
Alleged out-of-town dumbasses learn you can't beat up people who won't high-five you at Bruins games
By adamg - 12/3/10 - 1:27 pmBoston Police report arresting a pair of men old enough to know better for assault and battery at a Bruins game at the Garden last night.
According to police, Scott DeVivo, 40, of Newton, NH, and Shaun Neary, 34, of Salisbury, became so incensed around 9 p.m. when some other fans in Section 8 wouldn't reciprocate their attempt at high fives that they "threw beer all over them."
Police report that did nothing to convince the other fans to change their minds about high-fivery. DeVivo, police say, then jumped on one of the fans, knocked him to the ground and began punching him. A detail officer noticed the affray and jumped in:
How the Bruins respond to restroom vandalism
By adamg - 11/13/10 - 7:46 amSo this drunken Bruins fan kicks a hole in a restroom column - and then somebody posts a video online. The Bear is not amused (guess it would have been impractical for them to just take out all the columns).
Associated Press, by way of the Providence Journal, reports authorities are looking for the woman.
