Anyone who didn't pick Tiger is SOL. And this is why.

I was in labor with the GLC when Tiger won his first Masters.

The last day of the Masters this year is April 14th, the GLC's 5th birthday.

It's done, yep, and That's All <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" />

So Goldfish....makes some picks then. Only TP has picked him so far....
