Jose Lima

Just found out that Jose Lima died last night of a heart attack at the age of 37. Damn. Very sad.
He won 21 games in 1999 with the Astros but I'll remember him mostly for his enthusiasm and his hysterical interviews on the Jim Rome radio program. His phrase "Lima Time" cracked me up. He was certainly a character, like many fun-loving ballplayers from the Dominican Republic.
It's another reminder that we are all on borrowed time and you never know what the future holds.
