On paper, I'd have to give Alcano, the reigning world nine-ball champion, a very slight edge, but the game isn't played on paper. An intangible is that Ronnie was playing pool until 4:30 AM and is surely under-rested.

Shane is playing superbly, and his day may have arrived. He showed some nerves at the BCA Open in the final against Orcullo, but my guess is he learned a lot and got some seasoning that day, and he's ready to win his first major.

I'm predicting Shane beats Ronnie by 13-11, but this should be a real nailbiter.

I like Shane too. He has showed no tendancy to wilt under the heat but Ronnie sure as heck wilted yesterday when Shane fired on him. I think Alcano should be renamed "Uncanny", because he is amazing. He has a beautiful game. His pace and timing is something I wish I could imitate. He's got a god given talent. Shane, however, is out-working everyone else. When he's not playing, he's practicing.

There is a certain prejudice against up and comers, especially young ones, especially in the majors. I remember the skepticism there was against Tiger Woods when he first came out on tour, even though he had already won 3 junior am's and 3 U.S. am's, the NCAA and a pro tournament I believe. After a season or two there were few doubters left.

Remarkable! Congrats SJM. Maybe not always right, but always intelligent!
