...oops, haha.

Any reason why to use a comma there ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because you're starting a new topic sort of. It's a proper place to pause.

Also, it's an "If" phrase. Whenever something starts with "if" you should watch out for a comma. Examples: IF I go to the store, I will get milk. IF you want more, you will have to get it yourself. IF you exercise, your muscles might be sore.
