Comment: 
If I'd swapped my 2 pointers with my 3 pointers yesterday, I
would have had a chance at KK today, but instead I'm fighting to
not fall too much further down the banzuke.  Day 15 is always a
tricky day and often a goose egg.  Not expecting much of this
mess, so let's see if we can eke out enough points for a win.

Comment: 
Hard to decide whether to put Homasho or Kisenosato 5th. As I'm
fan of Toyonoshima, I'll go for Homasho.

It has been a wonderful basho, no matter the outcome (Yusho,
Jun-Yusho, or just a nice 11-4 record). Too bad I also picked
Tochinonada in this squad, as he hasn't been too much of a use.
Also Tamanoshima & Homasho let me down on several occasions. I
don't regret about all others, even not Goeido. Though that
still depends a little on the outcome of his final bout. ;o)

recovering. 

ill just be lurking for the next few days..  

May you all have a good basho, and hopefuly see you all, 

Ill be giving Gaijingai updates when im able to.   so See you

Comment: 
Today is a great day. This is the first time ever where my
favorite rikishi since I follow sumo (4 full years now), Ama, is
in the yusho race the last day. In my mind I always see the
little wrestler of middle-makuushi he was. Maybe he will reach
the ozeki rank, and that also could be a great joice. I hope
this day won't be a grey day. GO AMAAAAAAAA !!!!!!!!!
As usual, thanks to everyone who helps in running this game, I
hope see you all next tournament.
Congrats to Kotononami for his fabulous 12th kk in row. Goodbye
to my dear Sakana oyakata, who is leaving bench.
And now, like every casual day :
Go Ama !  Go ISI !!

I usually collapse on senshuraku, but still going to go with 2pt

Been dreading this matchup for 3-4 days. Starting the day
without usual pressure, but it would be basho capper to finally
beat the honorable Zenjimoto. 

Many domos to the torikumimakers, gyojis, rijichos, and IT guys
who got things going so smoothly after rough start.

Comment: 
I can't believe that I need a win to keep a winning career
record.  Sigh...
I'll lead the charge with my usual Alpine Cherry Calpis.  3
liters should do it. Thanks to all for a great basho!  I wish I
could have been around for more of it.

“If the elbow had been placed closer to the hand, the forearm
would have been too short to bring the glass to the mouth; and
if it had been closer to the shoulder, the forearm would have
been so long that it would have carried the glass beyond the
mouth.” -- Benjamin Franklin

A wise man...  I don't know if Jejima's arm is the right length
now, but ho he can at least down a glass of Calpis as thanks for
running this great game. :-)

Gooooooooooooooo Massashigawa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This basho has gone fast. I really hope that Ama will get his
promotion. I will be down in Juryo next basho, once again.
Thanks all gyojis and all that has made this basho working.
Greetings to Bench Sumo Father Jejima. Hope for your fast
recovery.

For today I hope to round up with a victory. Don´t know what my
best move is. Maybe Aminishiki. See you all around.

Comment: 
Well, this has been a very fun basho! Of my previous 52 basho,
only once before have I had 11 wins and that was when I was in
Makushita back in Hatsu 2002. Now in my 53rd consecutive basho I
have reached 11 wins on Day 14. Today is my 795th consecutive
Bench Sumo match; maybe it can bring me a 12th win? In any case,
this has been very enjoyable and I look forward to facing all
the top rankers from the joi-jin next basho. 
(and, yes, I know I should trust the kabuki factor and put Ama
on 4 points but I just can't do it)
