Former Astro pitcher Jose Lima went into cardiac arrest and passd away Sunday at the age of 37. He was great while the Astros were in the Astrodome and was always great with the fans, especially kids. One of the good guys has left us. May he rest in peace.

I second that, RIP Jose. What a character he was but he was a genuine good guy that lived life to the fullest. Hopefully rumors out there are shown to be unfounded.

I was thinking about posting this. Thanks for posting it JB. He was a character. On today's team he wasn't good enough because Lima needed more than one run scored per game to win. But he was a good pitcher and a great community guy. My condolences to his family.

Naw, I would never get down on Lima. The year that we got rid of him, that team barely hit for him also. Sometimes a pitcher runs on a streak of bad luck. Oswalt got some runs scored in his favor tonight.

Lima was definitely one of the most colorful characters to don an Astros uniform.
