Jose Iglesias Taking Grounders at Third Base, Second Base at Pawtucket to Provide Red Sox Some Roster Flexibility
Jose Iglesias usually plays shortstop, but it appears that he’s getting some work in at some other positions around the diamond.
The Pawtucket infielder has been taking grounders at third base and second base before games, according to the Providence Journal, to provide the big-league Red Sox some increased roster flexibility.
“”They said I’m moving around, just to get an...
Then and Now: Jon Lester
Sean Riley, contributing writer
2012 is a year that most fans and Red Sox players wish they could permanently erase from their memories for so many reasons. The mindset of everyone in Boston was that this 2013 season would be a fresh start with a clean slate to start the year and hoping that there would be no overlap between last season and this one.
Jon Lester is no exception...

Pedro reveals Sox's secret sauce
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.
Speaking to Sports on Earth at a...
Red Sox-White Sox Live: Jon Lester Takes Mound As Boston Eyes Sixth Win in a Row
3 p.m. ET: A little road swing through Tampa, Minnesota and Chicago appears to be just what the doctor ordered for the stumbling Red Sox, who have bagged five wins in a row so far.
Tonight, the Red Sox (27-17) open a three-game series on the South Side of Chicago, where they’ll visit the White Sox (19-23). Boston is looking to keep the wins rolling and also put some runs behind...
Pedro Martinez Says Red Sox Players Took Shots During 2004 Playoffs
The 2004 Boston Red Sox team achieved some special things that season. They made that historical and improbable comeback from a 3-0 deficit to the New York Yankees in the American League Championship Series, and then went on to win the team’s first title in 86 years when they beat the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series.
The loose clubhouse atmosphere was a staple for that...
Red Sox' Stephen Drew expects to return soon
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.
“I hope so. I don’t plan on sitting out much longer,” said
Drew...
Your Morning Dump...where Lackey continues down the comeback trail
Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.
Lackey earned the win, his first since April 28, improving to 2-4, lowering his ERA from 4.05 to 3.31. “The record doesn’t indicate or reflect how well he’s pitched,” manager John Farrell said. “Now...
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. The stories of the so-called “idiots” have become something akin to baseball mythology — from the “Cowboy Up” rallying cry to the half-naked...
TIP 'EM BACK
Pedro: Sox drank before ALCS games
While admitting it only involved taking little sips, Pedro Martinez admitted that Red Sox players imbibed on a rum concoction before 2004 ALCS games.
Sox "focused" during delay: Tarp slides!
The Guru
Contributing Writer
The Red Sox and Twins went into a rain delay at 4:30 yesterday afternoon with the Red Sox leading 3-1 in the bottom of the seventh as they looked to sweep the Twinkies in the Twin Cities.
Three hours later, after a Bruins win, a viewing of The Sandlot and Hall of Fame "hitting tips" from Jim Rice on NESN that included using "mom's...
Felix Doubront Keeps Living on the Edge, Which Could Force Red Sox to Get Creative
The Red Sox were in shambles during last week’s mailbag. This time around, things are much more pleasant in Boston.
The Red Sox have followed up their 3-9 stretch with a five-game winning streak, which includes a three-game sweep of the Twins in Minnesota. Suddenly, Boston looks like the team that started off the season among the American League’s elite, and that has put a stop...
Nobody saw this: In the AL East, this season could become a two-team NY-Boston blood feud.
This was supposed to be the year NY and Boston sat out the AL East. Instead, the season resembles an early 2000's burner - Yanks/Redsocks, and then the East Division tomato cans.Without Jose Reyes, Toronto looks like - well - Toronto. Over the winter, Baltimore and Tampa flat-lined. After his third year, Showalter's act starts to fray. Worse, the O's didn't improve...
Red Sox Watched ‘The Sandlot’ While Waiting For Rain Delay to End in Minnesota
The Red Sox were able to pick up their fifth straight win on the road on Sunday against the Minnesota Twins, but it took a little while to do it. The Sox came back out and captured the win after a three-hour rain delay. Starting pitcher John Lackey pitched six innings in the 5-1 victory, but knew after the first half hour of the delay that he wouldn’t be going back into the game...
Uehara - Providing Much Needed Bullpen Support and Energy

How does one sum up Koji Uehara? The first word that comes to mind is passion. If you ever pay attention to him when he is in the dugout after he pitches, he is fired up. He is so amped when he returns to the dugout after a successful outing (which happens quite often), it is inspiring, even to me watching at home. First off, I love passion in players...
David Ortiz’s Two Home Runs Against Minnesota Earn Ketel One Honorable Moment
Before David Ortiz was Big Papi, he was a Minnesota Twin. But, the Twins let him go, and he seems intent on reminding them of that mistake every time he faces his old squad.
Ortiz, a career .332 hitter against Minnesota pitching, added another couple twists of the metaphorical knife this weekend. Big Papi blasted two home runs on Saturday, marking the 42nd and 43rd homers against...
David Ortiz Incredulous Red Sox-Twins Game Not Called After Two-Hour Rain Delay (Photo)
The Red Sox were leading the Twins 3-1 heading into the bottom of the seventh inning on Sunday, when the heavens opened up above Target Field and the rain came down. Two hours later, the teams were still being held hostage by Mother Nature, waiting to hear if they would get a chance to resume play.
David Ortiz is tired of waiting around.
The Red Sox designated hitter tweeted his...
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...
A Connecticut Red Sox in King Papelbon's Court; In Philly to fight ALS
The 24th Annual Phestival to fight ALS
My uncle Mark was very close to my family. He was one of my dad's nine siblings, he lived nearby, and he had two sons that were close to my age. When he was diagnosed with ALS, it shocked my family. Only ever hearing about ALS as Lou Gehrig's Disease, I had never spent any time researching or thinking about ALS until my uncle had it...
Ryan Lavarnway’s Big League Stint Might Be Brief, But Catcher Needs to Showcase Talent Now More Than Ever
If good things come to those who wait, Ryan Lavarnway has a successful big league career ahead of him. The young catcher currently has a chance to lay some groundwork.
Lavarnway is a player in flux. The Red Sox’ signing of veteran backup catcher David Ross to a two-year deal in the offseason meant that Lavarnway, once considered Boston’s backstop of the future, was looking at...
Jacoby Ellsbury Gets First Game Off As Red Sox Attempt to Sweep Twins
If the Red Sox hope to sweep the Twins, they’re going to have to do it without Jacoby Ellsbury — at least from the start of the game.
Ellsbury is getting his first time off of the 2013 season. The Red Sox center fielder has played every inning for the team this year. Shane Victorino will bat lead off in Ellsbury’s place and play center field.
Taking Ellsbury out of the lineup...
