I know what you mean about the "mixed feelings."

I grew up a Braves fan. I started watching them when I was 11 (I'm
28, almost 29 now) and loved the team. But my Tom Glavine fandom
always exceeded my Braves fandom. So, when he moved on to the Mets I
basically said, "Well, okay. I guess I'm watching the Mets now." Heh.
And it took a while to warm up to them - I was kind of in that period
where I kind of followed both - but the last couple of years, I
really grew to like the Mets. I had a ball following them. They kind
of became my team.

So of course, lol, now he goes back to the Braves. LOL.

I swear, Tom, if I didn't like you so much... J/K!

So now I guess I'm kind of switching back again. I think it will end
up being like you said - I'll just end up watching both teams and
wishing them both well.

I hope you get a chance to see him pitch in person! I'll keep my
fingers crossed for you that something works out!
