NEW YORK -- Former All-Star right-hander Jose Lima died Sunday morning at his home in Los Angeles at the age of 37.

The cause of death was ruled a heart attack, according to his wife, Dorca Astacio.

"Jose was complaining while sleeping and I just thought he was having a nightmare," Astacio told ESPNdeportes.com. "I called the paramedics, but they couldn't help him."

I just saw this.  Even though he was pretty useless as a Met, just damn!  Gotta get the aspirin now.

'Lima Time' ended before its time

'We've lost a great human being,' Yankees' Pena says at wake for Jose Lima

By Adry Torres
Special to ESPNNewYork.com

NEW YORK -- Many, perhaps, didn't warm up to Jose Lima and his "Lima Time," whether it was his gestures after striking out a batter or any of his other antics when he was having a good time.

You don't know what you were missing.

My Lima Time experience took place on a May night in 2001 after an Astros-Mets game at Shea Stadium. After wrestling for a spot to get a player to sign my baseball, I managed to call out to Lima, then with the Astros, in Spanish while other players walked to the team bus or their cars.

"Lima, firmame la pelota [Lima, sign the ball]!" I said.

Through the two locked fences, my hands managed to get the ball to him and we chatted for a few seconds. He joked around. I had heard that he loved singing, so I asked if this was true. "Claro que si [Yes, of course]," Lima said. He couldn't stay any longer because the bus had to leave, but I bet he would have if he didn't have to go that night.

Even though he couldn't pitch worth a hoot for the Mets in '06, from what I've read, he was a great presence in the clubhouse, and he always seemed to be having a lot of fun in the dugout.
