Dreaming of Spring.

The weather has a tendency to play pranks on Swedish Baseball players. A couple of weeks with perfect weather, but beware, it can snow tomorrow.. Ohh well its still smells like spring, and we have started to make the field presentable, the "big boys" ( no reference to Roids) in the States have started to play, and my new Harley Davidson Heritage softail has touched the roads, so i guess we can oficially call this time SPRING!!. Anyway for me starting in a new team i have to say that i really think that i have become a part of this team. Riding home from a practise with Christian he said the same thing " I have started to like this team more and more", and i just have to agree. Im really looking foreward to the season and have some fun and play some ball with all of you.
Somebody askes me if now we where going to have a big rivarly with Malmö?? For me there is no rivarly between me and them or Helsingborg and Malmö. We have to realize that we play a very small sport, actually smaller then Korpen Soccer in any given city, so there is no room for people beeing pissed at eachother... In order for our sport to survive we have to pull toghether and hopefully we can play for many years to come and the sport will survive...( this year we lost 2 more teams, Vidigsjö and Skövde) Im sure that they wanna beat us really bad and im sure that they wanna strike me out and all that... thats fine.. I LOVE if it could come to a competetive level like that... and all i can say " Bring it on ".
Sölvesborg is always a hard team to beat, and im sure it will be the same this year.
Jönköping had a bad season last year but we all know that there was alot of games they could and maybe should have won, and hopefully they have some players back that are not Rockstars this summer ( read Im from Barcelona)
Kungsbacka is always hard to beat due to that they have alot of old school doods that have played for years and years. In my book this will be the team to beat this year. And once again we all remember the end of last season when they came with a completly different team then the beginning of the season... Cant wait !!!
Norrköping, The new guys.. I have played against them for fun in a practise game a few years ago. They have a very nice organisation in their club it seems and the people that i have been in contact with are supernice, so im sure it will be fun to have these guys around and we have a little advantage that were playing 2 practise games against them 21st of April..
CANT WAIT !!! All winter and all the hours in the gym and in Hittarpshallen making double plays, it has all been about me Dreaming of Spring.
