"Steve Decker has been named manager of the 2010 Fresno Grizzlies the team announced today. He will be joined on the bench by new hitting coach Ken Joyce, as well as returning pitching coach Pat Rice and trainer Anthony Reyes."

Before the unfortunate, non-covering loss this weekend, the 49ers lead the NFL in wins against the spread. After Sunday, the Niners' ATS record is still a respectable 8-4-2, for a 66.7% cover rate. They've now dropped behind Indy (10-4, 71.4%) and Green Bay (9-4-1, 69.2%). Even still, if you had bet $110 on the 49ers to cover in every game so far, you would have seen a net profit of $360 in extra cash to spend on Christmas gifts this year.
