Inadvertent drones the past two days as the server decided to go
AWOL at the deadline on Day 13 and I got too involved with other
things and lost track of time until the lineups showed up in my
inbox :(  Sorry for not giving you a real bout yesterday
Kuramarujo (I understand your yaocho cheque is in the mail?) ...
well lets see if I can cushion my fall through the banzuke today
although day 15 is often a goose egg day ...

GO SFI!

Comment: 
Doesn't really matter much now... but since we're thinking...

Does Kise give one to ole' Kaio?  Osh let one slide for Hak? 
Will Tenho get KK or Shogun get MK?  Kitataiki already has KK,
will Taka avoid MK?  I overthink stuff here I think, and yet
miss the important things somehow so I almost always lose at
this game.

Make it of break it.  It's all up to today.  KK?  MK?  KY?  Who
knows?  I can tell you this much.  If I win it's because of my
exceptional Sumo skills.  If I lose...

It is all Fujisan's fault!!!  (till next time, you great puppy)

See everyone in March.

Go Sakura!

Awful, awful second week. And yesterday "creative" picks didn't
help (I would've lost anyway). Today I have no clue whatsoever
but I'll try to get to DD.
I forgot I was in the final of the KCC, !@#&!$. I "only" trail
by 5 points, sooo, I'll just slide Aminishiki (good ol'
Aminishiki) into the points in the hoping that my rival bets on
Goeido but still I'm gonna need another miracle.

Comment: 
Tomorrow, Kintsubasa & I are heading over to Hidariashiyama's
place to finally exchange Christmas presents.  I think I'll give
him one by trying for double digits, and in the Holiday spirit,
I'll pour a nice Egg Nog Calpis.   

Thanks for another great basho, everyone!!

Goooooooooooooo Massashigawa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not a lot of obvious wins to be found today. With luck, my
opponent will also face a dearth of wins and we will have a long
low scoring bout, maybe even with a mizu-iri. The fans enjoy

Gooosh, last day and I dont know who my opponent is. I must have
list the torikumi somewhere. Today is extremely hard to predict.
Who has the best chance in my squad ? I have 2 men at 7-7. If I
can trust Chucks Crystal Ball those 2 are winners. 

So both get a place in top 5, but Kak is my top pick. There
should be a big different between him and Tamawashi. Hope I am
right.  Thank you all for this basho. Take care/ Hakaso

Are you tired of dominating your BS aite left, right, and
center? From years of experience, I will give you some surefire
hints on how to degrade your BS performance.

Hint #15:
Do not believe in the yaocho craze that you read about in the
forums. The likelihood that a 7-7 rikishi will lose on
senshuraku is about 50%, as the torikumi makers are very intent
on putting rikishi of equal strength against each other on the
final days.
