Earl vs Shane

gOOD COME BACK BY SHANE I THINK SHANE WILL CLOSE THE GAP TONIGHT I WAS SO MAD AT ABOUT 11PM MY ROUTER SHUT DOWN LAST NIGHT :-(
IM BACK UP NOW CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS
 
10 game spot in a race to 30 is pretty big. Shane's gonna have to play way better than he did the first two days.

Considering Earl is only a shadow of his former self, it leads me to wonder how good he really was back when he was snapping off US Opens?

If you took the Earl from the "Color of Money" set with Efren and substituted him this week -- would the score be any different? Better/Same/Worse?

Earl played as well as any human could expect to on that huge table (excepting, of course, people who spent their whole lives playing on that equipment). He had a 3 pack at one point + 2 more near-runouts.

The footage is out there to see earl in his prime, and in imo earl's performance is very near his prime level. Shane isn't getting beat by 2010 earl, he's getting beat by a guy who is channeling 1988 earl.
 
Earl at 49 would like to believe this, but I don't think it's true.

I tend to agree, but the general trend has been that Earl really is outplaying Shane.

I'm sure the sharking got to Shane reallllly badly, but Earl has played the better pool up to this point.

Earl's pocketing is so pure on this table.

That being said, Shane really stepped up after a rough start last night. I think if he played as well as he did throughout the latter half, the score would be closer. If both players keep up the game they played toward the end of last night, tonight may go down as legendary (or, more legendary than it already is).

why doesnt shane get some ear muffs?

You know I have heard recently that Earl is playing very well ! That his game has. Made a resurgence and I believe everyone who is competing nowadays plays better because the competition is better. I know my game is better now at 55 than ever simply because o the better competition today. Why doesn't shane find out where earl got the ear muffs. It could help him stop getting sharked? Lastly if the accu_statted old matches I think it would be pretty clear the pool players are better today :-)
