[westcoast]

After making a great combo, Mika skids on 2nd to last ball. Now 135-69 mika

 

[westcoast]

Earl tries to negotiate tough break out. Says "I'm going to lose" and promptly misses. Now 138-80Mika

 

[westcoast]

Earl missed easy shot in side. Now he is wearing a weight belt

 

[westcoast]

Mika runs out the rack. Now Mika 152-80

 

[Double-Dave]

Earl won't get to 150....real shame.

 

[Dave]

I appreciate you taking the time to keep us informed about the match.

Thank you

 

[westcoast]

Earl won't get to 150....real shame.

I hope you're wrong because I want to see a good match, but he is playing poorly and seems to already be in give up mode

 

[JAM]

I hope you're wrong because I want to see a good match, but he is playing poorly and seems to already be in give up mode

Once he's in that give-up mode, it doesn't look good. The only way he can pull out of it is if Mika makes a major mistake, giving Earl hope.

Heck, I have a bet where I win if Mika wins, but I would prefer 300-298 over this.
Once Earl gets like this though there is usually no way back.

 

[westcoast]

Looks like they came back from break early. Now it's 180-93 mika

 

[Double-Dave]

No, they came back as planned. Earl looks like he's woken up...we might have a match!

 

[westcoast]

180-107. Earl picked apart rack well

 

[westcoast]

Earl runs rack 180-114 mika

 

[westcoast]

Actually Earl apparently has 122

 

[westcoast]

180-135 mika

 

[Hungarian]

I think the Ref is too willy nilly with with the cue ball marker he uses when cleaning the cue ball.

 

[westcoast]

Earl got stuck and missed. Mika up 192-137

 

[westcoast]

I think they should stop cleaning the balls. If a skid happens, bad luck.

 

[westcoast]

At times 14.1 is almost as boring to watch as one pocket. The break shots are interesting but the middle part of each rack can be boring

 

[westcoast]

Just as I say that Mika whiffs on the 6 in the side
