Hi all. My last post on the Pitchers and Catchers Report thread met with no responses, unlike the rest of the thread which had some of the more scintillating dialogue we have seen in a long time.

So now, game fans, we have a new game.

Use any book or movie title, or art piece and link it to the Orioles.

Any kind of link to the Os is OK, whether serious, facetious, or something else.

Jack:

A personal challenge to you. Not as good as Twisted Titles, but let's see what you can do.

Everybody: Jump in.

Yes, I anticipate a slow day here at the boutique.

How the West Was Won - A family saga covering several decades of Westward expansion in the nineteenth century

How the East Was Lost - A baseball saga covering over a decade of poor drafting, horrible free agent signings, and the general nonperformance of the Baltimore Orioles

You can't keep a good man down, but will the Orioles rise again?

Ed: That is a stretch, pardon any pun, but anything to keep the thread alive. . . .

Chronicles of Baltimore: the Liar :point:, the Miggy, and the B12

What's Glove Got to do With It? : The Justin Turner Story

The Guns of Navarone... starring Luke Scott.

ApOcalyse Now: Cal Ripken Jr. stealthily makes his way down I-95 on a secret mission to terminate an MLB owner gone rogue.

"The Birds - XII" an Andy MacPhail remake of the 1963 Alfred Hitchcock classic.
Who could ever forget these movie taglines:

I have a trilogy.

Andy MacPhail and the Raiders of the Lost Farm -

Andy MacPhail and the Bullpen of Doom

Andy MacPhail and the Last Trade

The Revenge of the Syd (The dark side within a GM)
The Lord of the Wrongs. The fellowship of the Losers
The Long (Candem) Yard.
12 years in the Tibet (the higher point of losing)

FantOsia: Mickey Mouse cuts Brian Matusz in half, and suddenly the Orioles have an entire staff full of potential left-handed aces.

FrankenstOn: Andy MacPhail plays a mad scientist who, in an effort to create the perfect Orioles pitcher, attempts to graft Jimmy Key's head and Mike Mussina's glove arm onto Daniel Cabrera's body.

Sluggo: All he needs to add to that physical mix is the mind of a Clemons or B Gibson. You'd have a HOF pitcher.

Unfortunately, lately, the grafting of the mind into the matter met with poor results. Q: "Whose brain did you use?"
A: "Abby somebody. Abby Normal."

Ah, we now have two allusions to comedic geniuses, Mel Brooks and Monty Python.

For a book title and Os reference combo, in dialogue form, how about:

Andy MacPHail: We are operating now by The Book of Virtues.
Orioles fans: Sure, and we are used to The Winter[s] of our Discontent.
