Yesterday, the Long Beach Armada added pitcher Jose Lima to its rotation for the 2009 season, ensuring that at least one person on their staff will be able to fill-in for National Anthem duty should the local beauty pageant winner or church choir cancel at the last minute. The Armada's manager, ex-big leaguer Garry Templeton, is thrilled for Lima Time Redux:
"I'm excited to have Jose Lima pitching for us this year. His experience, skill, and leadership will be a great benefit to us. I'm glad that we have the opportunity to showcase his skills and give him the chance to rejoin a major league club."
Templeton also added that he's excited for Melissa Lima to sit in the stands every fifth day and "HAVE YOU SEEN THAT PICTURE OF HER AND THE SIZE OF THOSE BOMBS?!"
