Wow. What a shock! My sympathies. He always seemed like a really fun guy to be around.
37? Oh, my. Way too young.

Whoa! Sad.
Wow 37 is professional wrestler territory.
RIP Jose. Always seemed like a fun guy.
Unfortunately at that age, it's natural to wonder if he doesn't share something in common with those wrestlers that have gone that young.

The man could pitch in his heyday. Awesome stuff.

I wonder if he is only among the first of too many.
Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.
Ken Caminiti was probably the first.
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
Lima was probably closer to 42 but still, its too young.
"This isn’t stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
Could be but even for a wrestler, that's pretty young. The ones of this generation seem to be passing because of sleeping pills and painkillers. The guys from the 80s are the ones that seem to be passing from steroid abuse.
It was Lima Time in Heaven. RIP.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
I'll never forget the homerun he gave up to Adam Dunn that went into the Ohio River. RIP Jose Lima.
I was at that game.
Sad to hear. Lima seemed like a nice guy. RIP Jose.
