Wow, a team with home field advantage wants to have a little fun, the horrors!
You think the players care? It's the last game of the season, if they're the Orioles they could care less who the opposing manager is.
There is one story in Ball Four of a guy who had a flight he wanted to catch on the last day of the season. Only problem, it left in the middle of the game, so he talked to the umpire. First pitch was a called strike, the guy says "What kind of call is that?" the Ump goes "that's enough, you're out of here" the guy replies "Thanks" and leaves.
Yea, I'm sure the Orioles were extremely insulted.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
