Jose Lopez

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.
Always ready to go to a game.

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.
In the end, my dissolution with the game of baseball will not be a result of any loss of love for the game, rather from the realization that I can no longer bear the anger its supposed stewards cause to be built up in my soul. -Lee (01/08/2013)
