Big topic of discussion on bay area sports radio the last week or so: how much, if any, credit does Singletary get for the 49ers success this year? - Stephen Dec 6, 09:41 2
- [deleted]
- I would say 15-20%, just for the defense. And also he turned Vernon Davis around -- nm - amoxy Dec 6, 09:42
a point I don't think I've seen anyone make about the NHL realignment - it's got expansion built-in. -- nm - Reagen Dec 6, 09:39 5

Also...I'll suggest right now that if Albert signs a 10 year deal with Miami...he'll be a Dodger within 4 years. - Jim Dec 6, 09:27 9
- Was the 7yr/175 million the last offer the Cards made him? -- nm - amoxy Dec 6, 09:43
- [deleted] 7
  - I agree. But if he gets an ARod contract...I'll be pissed if the Cards match it to keep him. It will cripple the franchise. -- nm - Jim Dec 6, 09:33 3

      - I don't think so. We have Berkman for another year. Allen Craig could be a 1st baseman. Also, there's a AA 1st baseman, Matt Adams to keep an eye on -- nm - Jim Dec 6, 09:41

    - Your original bet back + $33.33 -- nm - Strongbad Dec 6, 09:33 4
      - Here's the way the lines work - Strongbad Dec 6, 09:37 3
        
        So, Richardson is the more profitable bet if you think it's a toss-up between the two? -- nm - David Dec 6, 09:43 2
        
        Much. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 6, 09:44 1

- Great, now I need another reference to understand the definition. Sex Barbecue? - GregW Dec 6, 09:10 4
  - I think it's a bunch of made up stuff. Urban dictionary doesn't even have an entry for it. - ceregon Dec 6, 09:23 2
    - Uh, I just checked and indeed, barbecue is there. -- nm - Spawn Dec 6, 09:26 1
      - but not sex barbeque -- nm - ceregon Dec 6, 09:37
  - IIRC, male homosexual activity. -- nm - Spawn Dec 6, 09:15
I wonder if Miami is looking at their Latino population and thinking that Reyes and Pujols will be enough of a draw to fill their place. -- nm - Jim Dec 6, 08:49 14
- I think their biggest problem is that a meaningful part of the population that would pay to go to games, spends a lot of time out of Miami during the - pmb Dec 6, 09:00 2
  - Is this a problem for all Florida teams that play outdoors (except for college FB)? Seeing the empty stands at the Jax game last night, even though - Stephen Dec 6, 09:19 1
    - I think it generally is an issue for Florida teams, but football, I would expect it to effect less (fewer games and it's more in the fall and winter). - pmb Dec 6, 09:38
- don't forget Ozzie! nm -- nm - groiny Dec 6, 08:58
- Let me ask...if the #'s you see are accurate and he leaves...what do you think? -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 6, 08:53 9
  - If he gets 10 for $250...thanks for a great 11 years Albert, enjoy your money. - Jim Dec 6, 09:00 8
    - And honestly, if he goes to the Marlins I'm a lot better with it than if he went to the Cubs. - Kim Pine Dec 6, 09:06 2
      - For your sake, and mine, I hope the Cubs are unable to convince the O's to take Soriano. - the wrong element, bad guy Dec 6, 09:25
      - Word. Here's a pretty good column written by Bernie Miklasz about all this. I like what he has to say, pretty much across the board. -- (link) - Jim Dec 6, 09:20
    - The things I'm reading isn't the length, it was the $23mil average. - Will Hunting Dec 6, 09:05 2
