December 3, 200421 yr :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol what a scumbag. Got what's coming to him Thursday, December 2, 2004 Women claims he infected her with STD -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Associated Press HOUSTON -- A jury says Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Jose Lima must pay almost $500,000 in damages to a woman who claimed she contracted genital herpes from him. Attorneys for Lima, a former Houston Astros player, said Wednesday they plan to appeal the state court decision and that Lima was unaware he was infected until after his relationship with the 27-year-old woman ended. Harris County jurors awarded the plaintiff $475,000 in damages after hearing closing arguments Wednesday in 280th Civil District Court. The woman's lawyers said she learned she was infected in February 2003, about a week after she had sex with Lima, and that the player never warned her that he had the disease. Another jury earlier this year had awarded the woman $15,000, but gave her no money for pain and suffering. A judge then granted her a retrial and she sought damages of about $500,000. On Wednesday, the woman's lawyers argued that Lima should have told her he was infected with herpes. "My client is obviously pleased with the verdict," the woman's lawyer, Chad W. Dunn, told the Houston Chronicle in Thursday's editions. "She would certainly give up all the money to make the disease go away, but she realizes this is the next best thing." The player's lawyers said he did not know he was infected before the woman, who lives in the Houston suburb of Spring, was tested. "The verdict is not supported by any evidence whatsoever," said lawyer Ralphaell Wilkins, who added in closing arguments that Lima should not be held responsible for transmitting a disease he didn't know he had. Lima, who won 21 games for Houston in 1999, was traded by the Astros to the Detroit Tigers in 2001.

December 4, 200421 yr Author December 2, 2004 It's Lima Time?time to take his meds Well, there's finally an explanation as to why Jose Lima is always so animated. It's not that he's passionate. It's not that he's intense. It's not that he's insane. No, it's very simple: his crotch itches. Like his sores, word spread on Thursday that Lima had been sued by a woman accusing the crazy Dominican of giving her genital herpes in 2003. A civil jury this week awarded the woman, Michelle E. Rudolph, $475,000 for assault and $475,000 for negligence by Lima. The two apparently dated for two years before Lima took a trip to the Dominican Republic and returned with the virus. (Hey, at least he was smart enough not to get an appendectomy there.) Lima claims he didn't know he had herpes at the time, apparently believing that the red growths on his testicles were simply a result of prolonged contact with his 13-year-old jock strap. Interestingly, this marks the second Dodger penis in the news in recent weeks. On November 17th, Jayson Werth sued a man accusing him of being unfaithful to his wife. The man, Ryan Root, also claimed he had a videotape of the Dodger outfielder banging other women. For Werth's sake, let's hope Michelle Rudolph wasn't one of those women. Interesting offseason. No news on Finley. No news on Beltre. No news on a new catcher. Only lawsuits, arrests, and STDs. Just waiting for the news that Brent Mayne is actually a woman.
