Dale Sveum (http://youtu.be/_4kgL-kBBZU?t=51s)
Thoughts?
I have no strong opinions about this.

I haven't seen that many shirtless man-hugs since {something gay involving Todd}.
DAYLES WAYME
All I can think about was how unseasonably warm it must have been that day.
What does Sveum mean for BH man-crush Rudy Jaramillo?
He is still waiting for Boston to make an offer first right? We offered, but Sveum hasn't accepted yet?

The talk in Boston seems to be that the Red Sox are resigned to continuing their search...

QuoteMILWAUKEE - The Red Sox are prepared to open up their search for a new manager as the candidate they once seemed to favor, Dale Sveum, neared an agreement with Theo Epstein and the Chicago Cubs.
Team president Larry Lucchino said last night that the Sox could "absolutely'' add more candidates to their list.
General manager Ben Cherington agreed that was a possibility, but said that one of the current candidates could get the job of replacing Terry Francona.
...
Sveum appeared to be the leading candidate yesterday afternoon when he met with Cherington, Henry, Lucchino, and Werner for lunch and a second interview.
Their meeting at Ward's House of Prime in downtown Milwaukee lasted approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes.
"We had a nice lunch,'' Werner said upon returning to Major League Baseball's owners meetings at the Pfister Hotel. "That's all I really have to say.''
Sveum had met with the Cubs on Tuesday night. For him, Chicago may be a better fit. By the end of the night, multiple reports had him nearing an agreement to manage the Cubs.
One of Sveum's strengths is as an instructor, a quality that could prove valuable as Epstein rebuilds the Cubs. The Cubs also conduct spring training in Arizona, where Sveum resides in the offseason. He also is more familiar with the National League Central given his six seasons with the Brewers.

I don't see how Lloyd McClendon would be terrible. Is it because he failed to lead those great late 90s/early aughts Pirates to the glory Jim Leyland led them to in the early 90s?

It's because he peaked in Little League.

He didn't have great teams, I agree. But his in game managing rivals Dusty Baker.

I know he was a hero in Williamsport, PA, but let's not discount that chubby mutha's contributions to the '89 division winner. Lloyd was all kinds of awesome that year.
DPD. For some reason the two Brewers I immediately think of when I recall that 13-0 start have always been Dale Sveum and Dan Plesac. Sveum probably because of that homerun. Plesac because it was reported, during the streak, that the Brewer's closer wore braces. And Juan Nieves' no-hitter....maybe that wasn't during the streak. Nevermind.

No, I will mind, because Nieves' no-hitter was game 10 of the streak. (http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/BAL/BAL198704150.shtml)
Also, if the Brewers could have played .500 ball in the spring, and if Greg Maddux decided to start pitching like Greg Maddux in 1987 (instead of 1988), maybe there'd have been an I-94 World Series that year. No? Well, damn. The Brewers were my second favorite team back then, and I had as much fun watching baseball in 1987 as any other year.

Same here, at least about the Brewers in general. The Brewers were an AL team and if you didn't love Gorman Thomas' fatness and facial hair and Cecil Fielder's big mofo glasses and Ben Olgilve's blackness and weren't sad when they couldn't overcome the Tardinals in the '82 World Series then you're either too young or too retarded to be allowed to live.

I pitched for my youth league team in the Buttpuddle city championship geighm that year. I had to leave the mound after three innings due to innings restrictions with my team ahead 12-9. We lost 36-33. Yeah, 1987 was the balls.

1987 was also fun because you also had the AL East race, where the Brewers faded with a couple weeks left to go in the season, only to have Toronto and Detroit fight it out the final week of the season. It was the first week of the NFL strike, the week they cancelled games, so NBC aired an extra "Game of the Week" and made Vin Scully stay in Detroit one extra night. That was a fun Tigers' team, and of course, while they did their part, the economy in Michigan crashed anyway in no small part to the Twins beating them in the ALCS. Meanwhile, the Giants should have beaten the Cards in the NLCS, thanks to Jack Clark being incapacitated after overswinging at a Frank DiPino pitch the last week of the regular season. Jeff(ery) Leonard had an awesome series, but Roger Craig started Atlee Hammaker in Game 7.
At any rate, watching the Twins beat the holy hell out of the Cardinals in the Metrodome was a joy I'll never stop relishing.

I seem to recall a pre-Cub Candy Maldonado doing something stupid in that series...
I'm friends with a couple guys who played on a softball team for Leo Burnett around 1996 and they actually flew to Arizona for a tournament and Darrel Evans was there. Apparently, an aging Darrel Evans had been picked off of third base with fewer than 2 outs, late in a pivotal game during that ALCS in 1987. Well anyway, after these guys spotted Darrell Evans and called him out and he was all glad to be recognized et.al, this one guy (Oleg, Fork and Peck all know him) said, "Didn't you get picked off of third base in that series 10 years ago?" and apparently Evans' face just droppd and his mood changed. Others in the group ran into Evans later in the week and went through the same routine, whereupon Evans apparently lost his shit. The point of the story is...most everyone is an asshole in their 20's.

This fluky win--however hilarious that it tormented St. Louis--did come with one hard-to-swallow caveat--that Andy MacPhail was able to leverage it into an 11 year malaise at Clark and Addison (http://www.goatriders.org/archives/2006/09/the_case_agains.html).

Yes. I'm not only linking to my own old work, but to GROTA.
What is the fascination that the Cubs have for managers who have no hair on their heads?
RV mentioned on Twitter that Dale Sveum's similarity scores as a player put him on par with Don Zimmer and Jim Lefebvre. Sveum broke into the league with Tom Trebelhorn. What does this tell you? The Cubs should have hired Jim Essian.

Absolutely. Essian has the higher career batting average.
Zimmer - .235
Sveum - .236
Essian - .244
Lefebvre - .251
Baker - .278
Piniella - .291
Does it really matter who are manager is? We aren't going to be a winning team for years at best.
I'm sure one of the questions was, "you're ok with getting fired for a real manager when the team is good again right"?
I'm happy with the hire. I don't care if he's boring or if he didn't get the Brewers job. He seems like a pretty smart dude and players seem to love him. Good things.

Brewers permanent managerial hires since George Bamberger retired in 1986:
Tom Trebelhorn
Phil Garner
Davey Lopes
Ned Yost
Ken Macha
Ron Roenicke
I don't know if the Brewers have a knack for identifying great managers.
The Brewers haven't won a playoff game since 1982 without Dale in the dugout. (Same can be said for Craig Counsell, so never mind.)

DPD. For some reason the two Brewers I immediately think of when I recall that 13-0 start have always been Dale Sveum and Dan Plesac. Sveum probably because of that homerun. Plesac because it was reported, during the streak, that the Brewer's closer wore braces. And Juan Nieves' no-hitter....maybe that wasn't during the streak. Nevermind.
No, I will mind, because Nieves' no-hitter was game 10 of the streak. (http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/BAL/BAL198704150.shtml)
Also, if the Brewers could have played .500 ball in the spring, and if Greg Maddux decided to start pitching like Greg Maddux in 1987 (instead of 1988), maybe there'd have been an I-94 World Series that year. No? Well, damn. The Brewers were my second favorite team back then, and I had as much fun watching baseball in 1987 as any other year.
Same here, at least about the Brewers in general. The Brewers were an AL team and if you didn't love Gorman Thomas' fatness and facial hair and Cecil Fielder Cooper's big mofo glasses and Ben Olgilve's blackness and weren't sad when they couldn't overcome the Tardinals in the '82 World Series then you're either too young or too retarded to be allowed to live.

Holy crap, nice catch. I'm demented, my bad.
For anyone watching on tv, what was Theo's expression when Dale talked about creating runs by running and, presumably, bunting?

He rolled his eyes and feigned masturbation.

What does Sveum mean for BH man-crush Rudy Jaramillo?
IT MEANS HE'S FIRED
