Runner up to the world champion? That must mean that you beat the second best player in the world! We are talking about hype in another thread, talk about can use this to crank up the hype! If you are second in ability only to maybe Mike Sigel and I am predicting a hasty retirement from competition on his part that leaves you clearly the world's best!

The rest of us will have to take a backseat to that claim! :D :D :D
