Do they still do that thing they did a few years back where they wear weird uni's one weekend in August and everyone has goofy/meme-y nicknames on their uniforms instead of their names?

My God, was your oral history book about the O's really 25 years ago? That makes me feel really old. It was a fantastic book, I treasure it and revisit it often. You can just jump into the middle of any section of Orioles history and read a few pages and find something interesting. It was one of my primary references when I did this little thread as a project to make the 2017-2018 offseason go by faster:

Buck did it with Bonds when he managed Arizona.

First place. Cal Ripken games over .500. 97 unswept. Good night everybody.

Yes!

Man, we got a gift from the ump there.

Don't like that 2nd throw over. Tie run gonna be on 2nd now.

I don't think I"m physically capable of doing that. My phone is my alarm clock, so it sits on a cordless charger on the table next to the bed. I'd lie there unable to go to sleep and at some point I would just have to reach over and grab the phone and take a look at what happened. I did fall asleep during that 15 inning game in Seattle, though. High fastball, blows him away !

Adell steal, no big deal. He doesn't matter.

#8 hitter in his first game with the team... bunting?

Worst thing that could happen, geez. He had him 0-2 also.
