Oreo Magic

I'm back! I was gonna post a baseball story I wrote back in (I think) 5th grade, but it was probably deleted years ago. (Hmmm.... 5th grade? Maybe I did care about sports before middle school...) [update 12/30: actually, it may have been 7th grade, but who gives a crap?] Anyway, a while back I wrote a parody of "Orioles Magic", an old O's anthem. As the title suggests, it's about Oreos.

Something magic happens

when you eat them up

You make the magic happen,

the magic of oreo cookies

When it's time for a snack

and you want oreos

There's a thundering roar from your tummy

to eat all you've got

And you never know

how many that you'll eat

When you eat one, you want more,

that's the magic of oreo cookies

Oreo Magic! Feel it happen!

Oreo Magic! Feel it happen!

O-R-E-O-S!

Magic! Magic! Magic! Magic!

Something magic happens

when you eat them up

You make the magic happen,

the magic of oreo cookies

When you tear open the pack

and you eat them up

Nothing could be more exciting,

nothing could be more fun!

There's a love affair

between you and oreos

There's a reason you eat oreos

It's 'cause you know what the magic means

Oreo Magic! Feel it happen (x4)

O-R-E-O-S!

Magic! (x4)

Oreo Magic! Feel it happen!

Magic! (x4)

Something magic happens...

Fun With Baseball Reference: Sox Hitters

B-R is a great source for interesting* (and most likely, true) facts about baseball players. Without further ado, here are some things you may not have known about the Red Sox:

Jacoby Ellsbury: He's (usually) our leadoff hitter, so he might as well be first. Fun facts: his middle name is McCabe, some Yankees fans sponsor his page with the message "Almost as good as Brett Gardner.", and he was originally drafted by Tampa. WHAT? It's true- he was their 23rd round pick in '02, but didn't sign. And it worked out well- he went from 23rd round to 23rd overall (and his uniform # is 46, which is twice that. COINCIDENCE? Almost certainly.)
Dustin Pedroia: There aren't too many obscure facts on his page, except that his middle name is Luis. (I didn't know that)
Kevin Youkilis: Not much to be found here, either.
David Ortiz: Was a PTBNL in a trade between the Mariners and Twins in '96. One of his nicknames is apparently "Cookie Monster", and his full name is David Americo (Arias) Ortiz.
Jason Bay: He's been traded a lot, but I don't think that counts as an obscure fact. Middle name=Raymond.
J.D. Drew: Was once traded for Jason Marquis and Adam Wainwright. J.D. actually stands for David Jonathan.
Jason Varitek: Has been as high as 21st in AL MVP voting. Middle name Andrew. Batted 1.000 in 1997 (take that, Mauer!) in one plate appearence (never mind).
Victor Martinez: Middle name is Jesus, and he's from Ciudad Bolivar (A city named after Simon Bolivar, a historical figure that I started [but didn't finish] a school project on last year), Venezuela.
Mike Lowell: I don't feel like looking it up, but he might possibly be the most famous FIU alum. Was originally drafted by the Yankees and played in 8 games for them.

I didn't include any shortstops- perhaps that's a topic for a different post.....(maybe).....
