Ex-Mets Watch: Lima Time

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.

Ex Mets Watch: Seo and Lima

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.

    month firing off seven and a third solid innings with six strikeouts.  He allowed just one run on three hits and
    three walks. He carried a one hitter into the

    Edgardo Alfonzo drilled a homerun and

    and two runs scored. 

    Catcher Yunir Garcia started his first game for
    Norfolk, after
    one pinch hitting appearance, and was 1-3.

    (3-2) picked up the win in relief of Jose
    Lima
    who was pitching a shutout until surrendering four runs in the sixth
    inning.

    Victor Diaz and Bobby Malek both had two hits and an
    RBI.

    Binghamton Mets (AA)

    Saturday

    Michael Devaney turned in a solid start allowing two runs, one
    earned in five innings.  He gave up six
    hits and walked four.

    Matt Lindstrom gave up two runs in .1 of an
    inning. 

    The final run came against Henry Owens, who took his second AA
    loss.

    Sunday

    Jose Coronado’s
    three-run, eighth-inning single proved to be the margin, as St. Lucie battled
    back from a big deficit and shaky starting pitching to beat Vero Beach at historic Holman Stadium.  (Ed: If you had trouble with the concept of a
    three-run single, you weren’t alone. 
    Coronado himself scored the third run on the play on a throwing error on
    Vero’s catcher.  This, my friends, is
    minor league baseball.)

    just two runs and four hits, but ran out of gas in the eighth, allowing a pair
    of singles and then a double, which scored a run, to start off the inning.

    Ryan Meyers couldn’t put out the fire,
    giving up a single and two more runs before finally quelling the uprising.

    Kevin Tomasiewicz slammed the door and
    picked up his 15th save.

    Who Is Hot Foot?

    Hot Foot was founded by a group of life long friends who also happen to be die hard Mets fans. Hot Foot comes from the great 1986 Mets relief pitcher Roger McDowell who would use a wad of gum to stick a roll of cigarettes to the back of unsuspecting teammates shoes and light them on fire, thus a Hot Foot. Hot Foot is inspired by the same rock and roll baseball mentality of Roger and the 86 Mets, and uncensored commentary with news, notes, rumors and analysis revolving around the world of the Amazin New York Mets.
