AGENT TOOK OUT INSURANCE ON HARVEY'S ARM
Matt Harvey's agent, Scott Boras, took out the policy on the Mets RHP at the end of the season, according to CBS Sports. The Mets and Boras were in a dispute over Harvey's innings limit as the season drew to a close. Including the postseason, Harvey is at 202 innings. The value of the policy isn't known.

Doesnt their salary just go to the insurance when they blow out their arms?

Its interesting, but kinda kicking the karma horse.

Well, on to game three, temps should be up in chicago, so our latin players might not be wearing parkas out there. The cubs have done well against dugraw this year, so hopefully the cubs turn this into a series tonight.

Maddon has a really short hook with Hendricks and Hammel, which is why I thought they would keep another pitcher on the roster instead of Berry the pinch runner. Hendricks has had perfect games thru 4 2/3rds and 5 1/3 and been pulled before the next inning starts.
