Just trying to be accurate…

So the Thrashers are moving to Winnipeg.

I did a search on twitter for “Glavine” (I like to see what people are saying about him) and a girl on there (who was a Thrashers fan) had posted several times that Tom Glavine sucked, was the most hated man in Atlanta today and said that he owned half the team and he was the one who wanted them to leave the city.

Which, okay, is TOTALLY inaccurate. I haven’t heard or read everything he’s said about the subject, but from everything I’ve seen, he wanted the Thrashers to stay in Atlanta. He’s a huge hockey guy, his kids play the game and for a while there he was trying to get a group of potential investors together to keep them in Atlanta. And he damn sure isn’t half owner of the team. lol.

So, I tweeted her back and said that he didn’t own half the team and had actually been trying to get a group together to keep them in Atlanta. I said it matter of fact (not mean or anything like that)

She eventually wrote back and said from what she heard, he wanted them to leave. I initially tweeted her back with a link to an article w/ comments from Tom (saying he wanted the thrashers to stay, etc) but then I went to her page and noticed that after she had replied to me, she posted on there that she was making her page private again and anyone who didn’t know her needed to stay off her page.

Geez. Well excuse me! I was only trying to help since she was mistaken. So I deleted my replies to her. Forget it. I don’t know why I even try sometimes.

In other news, Glavine’s in the booth for the Braves-Padres game tonight. He’s getting better at this; his sense of humor is starting to come through more. I cracked up listening to him break down the Tool race (that they do between innings) and how the Drill got a cortisone shot to the head.
