Sports Mascots Are Amazing!


Hey friends it's Oz here again for a mascot edition of The Oz Files. I have come up with a genius animal themed blog. I have chosen to go to the sports world and discuss what are the best MLB mascots that have an animal theme? I would go into the other sports but we would be here all day. So we start with the American League teams and will touch base with all the teams that have an animal for a mascot OK here we go! We start off our trek out on the east coast down to Baltimore Maryland the home of the Baltimore Orioles. I think when you have an oriole for a mascot I think you lose a lot of man points because an oriole is a little bird and it's kind of a weak bird and it needs to get out of the O zone! We proceed to the Midwest in lovely Detroit Michigan. The home of the Detroit Tigers and a tiger is a pretty damn good mascot. He's got the nasty growl and strikes fears into the opponents so be jealous. We head to the west coast to the wonderful Seattle Washington home of the Seattle Mariners. The mascot is the mariners but they have the Mariners Moose and the guy is epic. He goes around the country putting on great shows for all the fans and one day I guarantee you he will be in the mascot hall of fame and yes there is one. The moose is so so good he drinks his milk unlike Leah! We now head out to Tampa Florida home of the RAYS. Having a sting ray as your mascot that is pretty cool because it can sting it's prey and put them down with shame. The Rays can swim and they are ever so elusive. We visit our last AL city and that is way up in Toronto OH Canada the home of the Toronto Bluejays. Once again a bird that is not a hawk or vulture or a raven isn't all that and a bag of chips. So a blue jay would lose in a battle again all animals may have a chance with the Oriole oh boy! Now we head to the NL and back to the west coast representing! We head down to Phoenix Arizona the home of the Arizona Diamondbacks. A diamondback is basically a bad ass rattlesnake. A snake strikes fears in the eyes of men and women and children! When you hear the rattling of the snake you stop drop and roll enough said! We are back in the Midwest landing in Chicago Illinois. Home of the Chicago Cubs they have a bear as a mascot. That's pretty cool however a cub is a baby bear so it's not that great. If a big bear locked eyes with the cub bear I don't want to think what would happen but the cubs gotta love em the lovable losers. Our adventures lead us to Miami Florida the home of the Florida Marlins. The Marlin is a huge fish with a pointy nose to fend off predators. I think the marlin could be one of the bad ass fish around. When an opponent comes along all he has to do is stab them in the face! Watch out for the corn hole bud! Our last destination lands us in the Midwest once again in St. Louis Missouri the home of the St. Louis Cardinals. Once again another bird but a cardinal isn't such a bad bird to be I can assure you it can beat the ass out of a blue jay and an oriole on a 2 on 1 handicap match. The reason being the cardinals are just amazing! Well what do you think of this mascot chatter? Well until next time may the Oz always be with you so long!

It's Time To Do The Safari Dance!


Hey friends it's Oz here for a Safari edition of The Oz Files. Sorry for the delay in blogs fell asleep last night so I sorta did not want to get on the computer at 1130 but anyways we are back for another double dip. Leah says that today's blog is going to be on the African Safari animals. She says Zebras, hippos, giraffes, gazelles, rhinos, lions, hyenas, warthogs and meerkats those are fun animals. I will start of by saying that I don't know much about these animals but I'm gonna do the best I can do a little opinion on each animal then put it all together with a nice bow. So the animals of the Safari oh what a great collection of animals and some top tier athletes. Let's start of with the Zebra what is a zebra? Looks like a horse with black and white stripes that's how I take it. What does it I'm guess some meat and some grass and it's sad to see them die when lions prowl on them that's why I avoid those shows at all times so sad but you know that's how it is in the wild only the ELITE survive! Next on the docket we got hippos really what is a hippo? A hippos is an animal that is big and resides in the lovely thing they call water. I don't know what they eat probably stuff in the water just a guess. I don't think you want to get too close to a hippo. I'd like to say I am a huge fan of the game hungry hungry hippos any challengers? Next to the plate are the lovable Giraffes and I'm not sure what to make of this creature. It's so tall and skinny it reminds me a lot of Shaq O'neal or Yao Ming it's YAO not YO it's YAO! Those are my thoughts on the Giraffe it doesn't do a lot for me. Next up are the meek creature they call a gazelle. Gazelles are usually seen prancing in the wild and then an animal comes along and pounces on them and devours them once again not something I like to see. I am sure gazelles get there fare share of food too! I think Gazelles should do ballet because they are so graceful. What's the buzz about the rhinos? Rhinos are kind of like a hybrid sort of like half dino half freakish animal. I guess they like to use there heads to throw down like they were in China Town in NYC! Lions and tigers and bears OH MY! Yes now we talk about the lions and no not the win less 0-16 Detroit Lions bit shout out to the big D. Lions are one of the most feared animals in the safari kingdom. Whenever I see a lion it's prowling and prancing on defenseless animals. My favorite lion is the cowardly lion from The Wizard Of Oz the NOIVE! Hyenas are known for laughing wildly and Leah's laugh reminds me of such sounds and it's fantastic! Ha HA um so there ya go those are my thoughts on the wonderful Hyenas. What are warthogs/ I have no idea so let's move on maybe the spread the warts around it's the gift that keeps on giving. Finally what about meerkats? Don't know what a meerkat is so I guess that explains how relevant they are to my rank of food chain animals. These are the thoughts of the great and powerful wizard of Oz WHO ARE YOU? What are your thoughts on the safari animal kingdom? Well until next time may the Oz always be with you so long!
