"Some sources attribute the nickname to his ability to remain cool when facing tough opposition,[2] but at least one source links the nickname to chronic laziness."

I wish nicknames like that were still common.

Excellent. For what it's worth, if you choose to you can use players who played on the franchise while they were still in St. Louis and playing as the Browns (or even as the 1901 Milwaukee Brewers). Obviously you can stick with just true Orioles if you'd prefer, though.

Rule idea: At the end of the regular season, teams who qualify for the postseason will be allowed a certain number of roster changes (maybe three?).

Are we ok with this?

I'll take the Cubs if this is still open and they're available.

Right now I'm thinking October 5th. That gives us time to (hopefully) have the 2014 seasons added to the site and to try to convince some more people to join.

What do you think Parisian Bob's signature would be if he were on RM?

Maybe a quote from a Phoenix song?
