Legend Herb Score Passes; Some Stuff

Let's start out on a sad note. If you haven't seen it yet...

Indians Broadcasting Legend and former pitcher Herb Score has passed away at the age of 75.

Too young to remember most of his work, but I think any Indian fan at the right age knows who Herb is and what he's done. 97 is too long ago to remember anything to begin with.

"Today is a sad day for the Cleveland Indians family and for Cleveland Indians fans everywhere," team president Paul Dolan said in a written statement. "We have lost one of the greatest men in the history of our franchise. Generations of Indians fans owe their love of the Tribe to Herb Score, who was a powerful pitcher and legendary broadcaster. Our thoughts and prayers are with Nancy and the family."

1964... to 1997, Game Seven, of the World Series, By the By... That's how long Score did Indians games.. Up there with legends of other teams like Jack Buck.. Thoughts are with his family and friends, and of course, his second family, the Cleveland Indians.

Oh yeah... Score was a pretty good pitcher as well. Look up his stats..

Quotes from Indians officials and a first hand look at Score from Hammy himself, who was the first to know about Herb retiring before the outs of the 97 World Series.

Castrovince did another mailbag, this one a lot more nicer than Hoynes' Q&A.

He called Chad Cordero the type of relief pitcher the Indians go after, and we know he'll get a one year deal.

A very promising update about Juan Lara, who has made a "remarkable recovery" from his auto-accident last year.

Hey Justin Masterson-Kelly Shoppach swap was brought up.. Not happening, just a crazy idea I read.

Yeah so remember DAMN YOU COLORADO yesterday?

I don't know.. It's crazy.. It looks like the Rockies are crazy and going to try and deal both Huston Street and Carlos Gonzalez, two of the pieces they got in the Matt Holliday deal. Also Atkins is probably off the market since they got rid of Holliday. With that it looks like we are going to be a play for Huston Street.

If the Rockies trade Gonzalez, then I could see a Ben Francisco-Huston Street swap.

Better add Trevor Hoffman to the list.. Hoffman and the Pads are parting ways and the Indians were close to signing Hoffman years ago. They settled for re-signing Bob Wickman. Now.. Uh..

NO! NO NO NO NO NO NO!!

He's too old man.. And he want's more than 4 million or something like that?

Jason Isringhuasen, Chad Cordero... Something... Other than Hoffman, both less riskier..
