The song going through my head right now is Peter Gabriel's "Big Time." That was the theme song for last night's WrestleMania 22 and the annual WrestleMania party that I host was a big success. Briar came from Maryland, Gans came from Boston and Bartow came from Long Island. The original nVo was joined by Gans' cousin Andy and a great time was had in my new apartment, watching on my new TV. As per tradition, enormous quantities of Chinese food and cake were consumed.
The company has since departed and thoughts turn to the new baseball season. As promised, here are my picks!
