Boston Red Sox
Red Sox 7, Yankees 0 -- Sox welcome back Crisp
03:03 AM EDT on Friday, July 4, 2008
NEW YORK -- Red Sox outfielder Coco Crisp was back in the lineup last night after serving his five-game suspension for his part in the brawl with Tampa last month. During his league-mandated hiatus, Crisp said he was bored and just lounged around the hotel room, watching movies and playing video games. He was able to take BP so he wouldn’t lose his timing.
"Sitting in the bed all day long, your legs feel terrible," he said. "You get up and feel like an 80-year-old guy."
Manager Terry Francona says he's been looking forward to Crisp's return.
"Hopefully he’ll make an impact and that will be even better," Francona said. "You kind of feel it. All of a sudden you look up and you don't have as many players as you’re used to. You do feel like you’re playing shorthanded."
Crisp make an impact, going 2-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored.
