I created a custom bibliography style with makebst. With a standard article document class, the result looks like this:
Document class svjour3 from the publisher of the journal alters the citation style (by using \bibpunct) to drop the comma between author and year:

Best Answer
Here is how you do it! (without suffering like I have). Note my answer only covers books and article bibtex entries.
As you are submitting a manuscript to springer you should use their tex class svjour3 found here, but it is not necessary for what follows. Now download biblatex and create a file called biblatex.cfg and put it in the same folder as your .tex file. This file will be automatically read every time latex is compiled. In a moment I will show the contents of this file, but first a minimal example of the .tex file:
And now for the more painful contents of biblatex.cfg
Here is the result of running latex bibtex latex latex:
This code was pieced together from several posts, I can not remember all the names to thank, so I will thank the community as a whole, you guys are awesome!
