Red Sox activate Andrew Bailey from DL, Stephen Drew back in lineup
The Boston Red Sox activated Andrew Bailey from the 15-day disabled list on Monday.

There was much ado about the Boston Red Sox players' eating and drinking habits in the wake of the team's September meltdown two seasons ago.
But according to one former Sox star, 2011 was hardly the first time a little alcohol made its way into the Boston clubhouse -- and in prior years it yielded positive, even curse-breaking, results.

The Boston Red Sox have been without shortstop Stephen Drew for the past two nights after he suffered a back injury. While Drew's injury sounds painful -- he described it as "hypertension on my spine" -- he said told Rob Bradford of WEEI.com that he doesn't plan on sitting out much longer.

Pedro Martinez: 2004 Red Sox Did Shots Before Games
It’s been almost nine years since the 2004 Boston Red Sox pulled off the most remarkable comeback in the history of postseason baseball to stun the Yankees in the 2004 ALCS and win the team’s first World Series title in 86 years.

Jacoby Ellsbury Is Red Sox’ Best Leadoff Option, But Lineup Change Could Spark Struggling Outfielder
The 2013 Red Sox pride themselves on working deep into counts and generating baserunners, which makes it rather ironic that their leadoff hitter, Jacoby Ellsbury, isn’t exactly pacing the offense in either department.
Ellsbury, who received his first game off on Sunday, has been struggling at the dish of late, and manager John Farrell could soon find himself with a decision to...
