Sox will keep close eye on Okajima »
May 17, 2008
Red Sox center fielder Coco Crisp had to leave Tuesday's game in Baltimore after feeling dizzy, and while manager Terry Francona said today that Crisp is feeling better, the outfielder just admitted he's suffering from a "mild case" of vertigo.
Crisp said he really can't describe the feeling, which he called a pounding sensation, but said it ranks as a seven on a scale of 1 to 10.
He's been taking medication for it and he joked about it, saying maybe he's taking too many pills.
Crisp dealt with an inner-ear issue last season, which caused dizziness and nausea. He said this latest bout feels similar to that.
"I'm still feeling a little lightheaded," he said. "But I feel like tomorrow or the next day I'll be back to 100 percent."
He was able to take BP today and was planning on running to see how he feels.
