David Ortiz...

...took steroids. What a shock.

Ironically enough, the first ever post by the Sports Maunderer (he had not even been named as such yet) was also about David Ortiz. So the last post on this particular incarnation of the Sports Maunderer brigns with it a certain amount of symmetry. Why the last, you say? Because the Sports Maunderer has moved.

Across the street, but still, it is a move. Instead of http://sportsrantblog.blogspot.com/, which was always a silly hyperlink, the blog shall now be located at http://thesportsmaunderer.blogspot.com/, a longer but more eponymous title.

In addition, I will re-post some of the few entries that actually stand up to the test of time in the new venue, to get it started. Then I will undoubtedly write a self-righteous, self-serious, existential piece about whether a sports blog is in any way a useful pursuit. Buy a helmet to protect yourself (preferably one of the long, alien-head helmets they use at the Tour de France for time trials sprinting. This way, you will also be getting a Halloween costume for free.)

This blog will stay afloat as the Archive, and I'll have a link to it on the new blog if, for some reason, you want to refresh yourself on what moronic thing I said about the Indianapolis Colts half-way through the 2007 season. Never know when such information will come in handy.

And so, I bid thee adieu.

And Rick Sutcliff is still an idiot.
