It's Lima Time!
Here at the Baseball Desert we were already fans of Jose Lima for his great comeback with the Kansas City Royals in 2003 (8-3 record in 14 starts), but yesterday at Dodger Stadium, Lima moved up yet another notch on the Baseball Desert "We Love This Guy" ratings.
We knew that Lima could pitch as a starter, and yesterday showed that he could also be effective in relief - he came in and threw 5+ scoreless innings after the Cubs had kicked the crap out of Hideo Nomo (1 1/3 IP, 3 H, 6 ER) - but we raise our hats to the man because he was also able to stand in front of the crowd at Dodger Stadium before the game yesterday and sing tuneful renditions of both "God Bless America" and the national anthem.
Talk about making yourself useful to the ballclub! I can't wait to see what he does next: roam the aisles selling beer and hot-dogs? play the organ between innings? do a little colour commentary alongside Vin Scully?
Jose Lima - the ultimate utility man...
