Dale Sveum hired as new Cubs' Manager

It turns out that the Chicago Cubs have hired a new manager, Dave Sveum.  Sveum is to replace previous manager Mike Quade.  Sveum has had more playing than managing experience, playing as a short-stop for the Milwaukee Brewers for 12 seasons, but the Cubs will hopefully give him a warm welcome nonetheless.   There will be a press conference held tomorrow in Chicago at Wrigley Field to introduce him as the new manager.
