I don't know about you but I think, before it's too late, we need to address the matter of the new manager's name. We got blind-sided with Brett Favre (it's fav-RAY, damn it!) and Dale Swaim er, Sveum seems to be yet another moniker off the phonetic charts.  I say it's time to take a stand for fandom and at the same time strike a blow for slick marketing. 

I conjure the name....THE SWAMI...for Dale Sw.. whatever.

Very rhyme-able.  Nice referencial possibilities, and I can see the visuals already.

Can't you hear Chris Berman intoning, "The Swami's men played small ball today to hand the Red Sox another loss in this best of seven...."?

Can we agree that Sveum won't cut it, as a name, and we here at BCB should launch an alternative asap.  Consider it a public service.....
