Here are some highlights of the first year of William World News<\/i>. <\/p>\n
\n
This is the first post I made about getting engaged to Erica on October 1, which is even better than the Nats.<\/p>\n
\n
The post-announcement post. I was at the press conference that day. I have a gallery<\/b><\/a> too.<\/p>\n
\n
The first post after the D.C. council made it official. You can see the follow up on the next day here<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n
\n
Ranting and raving about D.C. and the betrayal to the Nats and their fans. <\/p>\n
\n
A rundown on what bloggers and columnists thought about the Nats surviving Linda Cropp<\/b>.<\/p>\n
\n
The day after the amended ballpark bill passed and MLB announced they would pull out of the deal if it was not altered.<\/p>\n
\n
Guest analyst D. Berg Pisarcik<\/b> makes a contribution.<\/p>\n
\n
The owners vote in favor of D.C. having the team. Guess who disagrees?<\/p>\n
\n
Sacarstic suggestions and observations about the process, including my idea to ambush an anti-ballpark rally.<\/p>\n
\n
Former p.a. announcer Charlie Brotman<\/b> goes to the mat for the Nats and the new hats are released.<\/p>\n
\n
MLB makes official the worst kept secret in Washington and unleashes what Ryan Moore called<\/b><\/a>, “Our Long Nationals Nightmare.”<\/p>\n
\n
Foolishly, I bet on the side of Vinny Testaverde<\/b> in my bet with Sam over the Dallas vs. Stillers game. Some day, I may even get the opprutunity to pay it off.<\/p>\n
\n
Only a highlight if your name is Brenda<\/b><\/a> or you also went to Wisconsin.<\/p>\n
\n
My first international post. The next one, HALLO AM\u00c9RICAINS<\/b><\/a>, is here.<\/p>\n
\n
Baltimore Mayor Martin O’Malley<\/b> announces he favors D.C. baseball. For that, I named him Baltimorean of the Year<\/b>.<\/p>\n
\n
Less than two weeks after O’Malley is named BOTY, Brooks Robinson<\/b> is named Co-Baltimorean of the Year for his support.<\/p>\n
\n
My first D.C. baseball post. It’s buried below other headlines. I was not planning on drinking the D.C. baseball Kool-Aid this year after being dissapointed so many times previously. You can see how long that lasted.<\/p>\n
\n
A recap of the epic showdown between the Caps and Pengyunz, follwed by the even more epic broomball showdown between the Penn State alumni chapter and the Pitt alums. I was the left wing and I scored the first goal in a 3 – 2 win. You can see about couple of photos in this post<\/b><\/a>. <\/p>\n
\n
The first of many posts about the inexplicable and indefensible removal of Bob Edwards<\/b> as Morning Edition host. He bolted for XM later in the year.<\/p>\n
