Bata is playing well, and Mika can't stay at the table.
Mika is melting

Mika doesn't have a good record against Bata, and he knows it. I'm not surprised this transfers from rotational pool, into 14.1 as well.
Mika meets Bata's "Louisville Slugger" hickory bat:

there goes mika...
i admire his talent, it truly speaks for itself, but for some reason i seldom find myself cheering for him. he's still a force to be reckoned with in any discipline.

Amen to that. Great player, but he definitely ain't no "Iceman." The man wears his emotions on his sleeve. Calling Mika the "Iceman" is like calling some towering muscle-bristling body-tatooed gangster "Tiny."

...or because of the way he suddenly "freezes" in his performance.
ba-dum-dum... cymbal-crash.
Ok all im going to say here is play him in the world 14.1 which ive done twice now and watch how he becomes the iceman. Believe me its not about him showing his emotions on his sleeve etc. Trust me the man's mental game is ridiculous and he gives you this look and when he does it literally freezes you in your tracks. I'm not saying he is the most social person on the planet but believe me when I tell you playing him is literally scary. He has a way of looking at you like you're not even there.
Oh and the fact that he's 2x us open champion world nine ball champion and a slew of other titles from around the world doesn't hurt either.

Relax, we're just having a little fun -- and that *should* be obvious, isn't it?
Yes, I know he's on a different planet with his playing skills. And yes, he's UBER competitive. That quality *IS* what makes him a champion.
But that doesn't mean we can't have a little fun. Interesting how you picked my post out of all the replies above to reply to, when it's obvious out of all of them, mine should've been obvious to see it was to have some fun.
I know we're sticking up for our "NY boys" (which Mika is a transplant), but again, it's all in fun.
P.S.: just so you know, I could not break away from work this week (too many companies taking advantage of the fact that most employees are away on summer vacations, so they want to do major network surgery / migrations this week). Otherwise, I would've been right there with you, mixing it up with all of them as well. I'm kicking and cursing about this situation, but alas, there's nothing I can do.
