Title: Jose Lopez
Post by: farmstros on May 26, 2009, 09:00:40 am

Not sure if anyone else saw this.  In Monday's Houston Chronicle there was a note in the Astros notes section that catcher Jose Lopez was at MMP Sunday.  Apparently, he had a brain aneurysm(Sp?) before Spring Training and is still recovering.

Thanks for the update, I was wondering what happened to him.

DoRay (Milo maybe) were talking about it during the broadcast on Sunday.  IIRC, they said it'd been discovered prior to ST in his native Venezuela(?) where they got him stabilized and eventually ready to come to Houston for surgery (Methodist this past week).  They noted that his head had been shaved and had some massive incisions (40+ staples, may have been stitches), and were amazed he was up and walking around 3 (5?) days later.
