After being shelled in a few starts, Jose Lima has been released by the Kia Tigers of the Korean League.
Lima was 0-1 with a 6.23 ERA in 21 2/3 innings of duty for the Tigers.
As this Korean newspaper headline says, according to the East Windup Chronicle, “Not One Win Gathered…Lima is Kicked Out.”
Perhaps Lima Time was set off by the fact that Korean time is 11 hours before Eastern Standard Time, not that EST ever treated him so well.
Will Leitch over at Deadspin reports everyone’s favorite ex starter Jose Lima appears to be headed to Korea. He’s expected to be signed by the Kia Tigers, where he’ll join fellow brief Met Met Jae Seo.
The man behind Lima Time played just four games as a Met, losing all four while giving up 19 runs. He has not pitched in a MLB game since.
Seo signed with the Mets in 97 and had his debut in 2002. He spent all of 03 with the team where he had a 3.82 ERA while pitching 188 and a third innings. He was eventually traded for taxi cab lover Duaner Sanchez and man of mystery Steve Schmoll.
With this pitching tandem, the Kia Tigers will be unstoppable.
