I'll start the bidding with Jim Furyk.

Give me Choo Choo

New Texan said...

Damn... I was hoping you'd pass on him...

I am going with a hedge bet... give me Paddy O' Harrington.

New Texan said...

BTW, I have a great 5th pick... I am certain you won't go near him... it is going to shock the world.

Speaking of shocks.....
Steve Stricker

New Texan said...

Interesting... I had Stricker on the depth chart, but not this high... I wonder how he'll rebound from letting a couple majors slip away...

Actually, I left my depth chart at work, so I'll continue this tomorrow... yeah, that's right... I am going to call time out and try to ice you. I'm pulling out all the stops baby!

New Texan said...

Ok... back to work now. I've rerun my computer model analysis, and according to my calculations, the best pick left on the board is...

Scott Verplank.

BASTARD!!!!!!

man......

Give me David Tom Toms

New Texan said...

Ahh yes... the 'Lil Grinder. I thought you might take him.

I need another limey... give me...

Paul Casey

New Texan said...

SCRATCH THAT!

I meant Justin Rose...

New Texan said...

Sorry... temporary brain fart.

Timmmmmeeeeeeeee Clark

New Texan said...

Thanks for not being a jackoff about my brain fart... I was prepared to remind you of the Trevor Immelman Karma from last year's B.O. bet.

Ok... here it is... the surprise pick of the year... this one has "gut" and "hunch" written all over... the man has done nothing in majors, yet he is a top 50 player in the world... I just have a feeling, given the weirdness of this year's major... the weird winners we get at the PGA from time to time... that this is... the year of...

John "Don't Call Me Henry" Rollins

and for my last pick....

Give me Cink Sank Sunk....

New Texan said...

Well, we've reached a new era in this bet... no Vijay. No Phil. Wow.

Ok, so our teams are:

Me: Furyk, Harrington, Verplank, Rose, Rollins

You: Choi, Stricker, Toms, T. Clark, Cink

I went for the young grinders who can stand 100 degree heat this year. Phil is a headcase, vijay is pushing 44. Your English limeys will wilt like dried Pansies when it gets over 90 degrees

New Texan said...

YOUNG GRINDERS???? Your team is older than mine you moron!!

Furyk (37)
Harrington (35)
Verplank (43)
Rose (27)
Rollins (32)

Choi (37)
Stricker (40)
Toms (40)
Clark (32)
Cink (34)

The average age of your team is 36.6... mine is 34.8. And people from Wisconsin (Stricker) are just glorified Limeys anyway.

This is war!!!

Not just YOUNG! YOUNG GRINDER! YOUNG + GRINDER = VICTORY!!!

New Texan said...

There is something about the way you use the word "grinder" that is like fingernails on chalkboard to me... probably because you refer to YOURSELF as a "grinder" on the golf course... usually when you are grinding out a 94 from the Senior Tees.

BTW, i read some "expert" prediction online last night, and they had Cink, Clark and Toms in their top 10.

Then the experts are reading my mind....scary huh?

New Texan said...

Well, the experts had a whole bunch of other picks as well... it cracks me up when "experts" pick 15 guys who could win.

I really like the Tim Clark pick... he was under my radar, but the more I think about it, the more I like it.
