Deadspin
We feel like we write this every few months, but this time it looks like it's for real. Yes, the Jose Lima Era in baseball appears to have actually ended.
Lima was released by Korea's Kia Tigers yesterday, and that should just about wrap this up.
The final straw apparently came Tuesday evening against the LG Twins, a game in which he surrendered eight runs on eight hits in just 3 2/3 innings. Kia is currently in last place having won just four of 15 games. He leaves Korea not having won a single game, as the headline on the Korean Web portal Naver gleefully reads: "Not one win gathered...Lima is Kicked Out!"
This means a goodbye not only to Lima Time, but also Lima's wife. Though he can still sing the national anthem with her, right? Right?

Erin who?
"Jose, Can you see?"
Ah... reminds me to have my tires checked. Thanks Will!
Mrs. Lima must be huge in Korea.
The Mrs. Lima era in my "spank bank" has only just begun.
A little piece of me just died right now.
At least I have the memory in my heart of being at that game getting to hear him sing.
I'm seeing DDouble
If that kid were smart, he wouldn't have left infancy.
I never tire of this photo. Well, maybe my right hand.
8 runs on 8 hits in 3 2/3? Pittsburgh will sign him by dinner.

Even his wife's buoy's couldn't keep his career afloat now.
i'd fight jose lima inside the breatiary in nippopolis for the rights to her
good thing he invested in inflatable vest technology.
Not my handiwork.
@Chief Wahoo: She's pretty much huge wherever she goes.
When asked how he would spend his retirement, Mr. Lima said he planned to take up motorboating... a lot of motorboating.
@RonZookonRedBull: good thing he already has some personal flotation devices.
@the.munson: " little piece of me just died right now."
Don't you mean, a million little pieces of me just died right now right onto that tissue?
Anna Benson does not approve
Kid, Jose Lima, yes.

Why only one more time? We don't have to be deprived of her just because Jose Lima is gone right?
Lima Time was one of the most wonderful times in recent Royals history.
I don't know if Lima did local commercials while he was in LA or anywhere else, but I will always remember the Casa 'Ole commercials he did in Houston. "Casa 'Ole/Hey/ fresh today/ 'Ole." I remember meeting him at an Astros' black tie function (a charity auction), and he was bidding against Nolan Ryan on painting of Nolan Ryan.By the way the painting was hideous. In the end Lima out bid Ryan paying about $7,000, and then he had Nolan autograph the painting. Lima could always make you smile as he was always smiling himself and, cracking jokes with players and fans around the Dome and spring training. Rest In Peace Jose. You will be missed.

I'm sorry? What's that you say? Lima isn't dead? That MOTHER FUCKER!
@DougOLis: Much as Daft Punk learned, you shall know that there is such a thing as enough.
