GM Change, Charm City Jimmies

Post by recte44 » Mon Aug 18, 2025 4:48 pm

Dave has stepped down and has quit the league. Sorry to see him go. He built a great team.

We have to keep moving forward, though. We have promoted Graham to the post in Charm City!

Honored, humbled, thrilled, etc. Thank you, commissioner and governing board.

Will do my best to fill Dave's massive shoes (seriously, he wore size 14 Crocs...I saw them outside of a massage parlor during the Winter Meetings) and try to uphold Charm City's long-standing legacy, represent the Johnson League the best I can, and try not to get any parking tickets in Cobble Hill.

Early returns but already the second-best experience I've had inheriting crabs...thank you for the welcoming words.

Well deserved promotion. You'll do great things with them.

Definitely will miss Dave. Was a great trading partner and an honest sounding board when appropriate.

This post was double parked. Your team can be picked up at the impound lot.

The two of you in the same division is trouble for all of us. Not competitively, of course, but just for our souls.

Welcome to the Atlantic! As if we didn't already have enough good/slightly unhinged GMs to worry about.

I actually stuffed him into a hard-case golf club travel bag for my flight outta Johannesburg. We're light on hot dog vendors going into next season.
