Oskanohana

Hitoshi's hair pull today against Hatsuyama was even more awful. Man, Hitoshi is earning rapidly a top place in my "I cannot wait for his danpatsu-shiki ceremony" list. Wakatakakage looks really deflated. I think he watched the ozeki train pass him by for good. He had a great chance last basho and he wasn't even close. Now it's the rank-and-file life. Takayasu is looking good trying to escape his komusubi kadoban. He might even start a sekiwake run if he keeps this up. I'd assume it takes 4 basho, seeing as a yokozuna-run is 2 basho and an ozeki-run requires 3. As long as it doesn't require any yusho, I think he can get it. I'm rooting for him.

The ankle??? I wasn't expecting that. I thought he had crushed his knee because he had get his right leg stuck. Hope it's the mildest of injuries it can be, because it looked really bad. I think he can consider himself "lucky" if he gets a 2 basho absence (and I mean with the injury getting completely healed, which sadly it's not the sumo way usually).

This should just be instated as a rule, period. Funnily enough, your post being immediately below ex-Miyabiyama's short haircut, I thought you were going for the joke of: Tohakuryu could manage to pull his hair even with that haircut. We don't need any more of that crap. That's enough proper yotsu until 2027 for all those lame yotsu-aficionados. Now we need more Tomokaze and Kayo and Kotokuzan...

Takerufuji got to 42 if we omit his 2nd basho full kyujo. So he got to 40+ in his first 4 appearances really. I was wondering if there was some madman who had a bad debut basho and a demotion to juryo and then lit makuuchi up when he got back, but I cannot find a way to try to query that. Also, big Hakuko fan here

#MeToo I was tinkering with the "s" in the https (just in case) and the day number and I noticed that you can access days 6 to 15 to put your line-up, which is funny and logic considering the error. Maybe the checkbox "Make this lineup the default for the remainder of the basho" changes it for the past also (shouldn't technically, but you never know) and can be used to circumvent the bug.

You guys are forgetting that, with his makekoshi, Takayasu only goes kadoban. To go down to maegashira he has to have a makekoshi the next tournament too.

What's funniest to me is that Tomokaze defeated Mitakeumi in Mitakeumi's style and yesterday Tomokaze lost to Ryuden in Tomokaze's style. By the way, who's that dashing young prospect that's dropping maegashiras left and right from M11? Maybe he can win a yusho and for sure he has ozeki potential. Oh, and in another topic, Atamifuji, by stumbling clumsily forward, failed to get a 9th yorikiri in a row from the start of the basho (irrespective of win or loss). I had a very nice post with lost of links to queries explaining the records in MU and juryo but the freaking forbidden error crap from the forum defeated me. Suffice to say the MU record streak from the start is 9 while juryo's is 13 by Chiyo(no)o. Most yorikiris in a single basho (win or lose, no streak required) is 13 by a bunch of guys. Maybe I'll post the queries in the trivia bits thread if I find the patience and it doesn't give me the shitty error. P.S:Now the forum doesn't even allow me to put a single hyperlink on. FFS

Oh, and a tip for everybody, in case you don't know it, if the db keeps being down: Clicking on the bout number in Toto and TTT gives you a pop-up window with the match-up history and both rikishi current basho results. Truly excellent.

Homasho, Gagamaru and Asasekiryu are my picks for tomorrow. Thank you. Right now I cannot enter sumodb or Golynohana's at all, but Bench, Toto, TTT and ISP are pickable (ISP is Kinbozan-Ichiyamamoto, this time for real, 100% no fake).

Yes, don't remind me.. We can always say he's the exception that proves the rule.

It really was Wakatakakage-Aonishiki FML I'm really sorry guys, I remembered...poorly

Somebody should ask him if he's a member of Nambla (Nippon Association Marlon Brando Look-Alikes)

Oh, you shouldn't have bothered...We should, as a community, take into consideration those poor fellas that couldn't submit their picks and call this day a wash. Right? Riiiiight? (Internally seething ) Bout 47 - Oskanohana (S1E) 9 [2-5] Tsukiotoshi Oyama (M6E) 10 [4-3] 11 3-4 +25 1.796 Oskahanada Meisei 2-4 L Hiradoumi 4-2 L (-2) L -2 0.020

Oskahanada is the name on these sites

I think it was Takayasu-Abi, but I'm not really that sure, 80% chance.

That's why they get paid the big bucks

Just in case the sites don't come up in time and admins can post the submissions, here are mine: QmVuY2g6IDQgT25vc2F0byAzIEtvdG96YWt1cmEgMyBBb25pc2hpa2kgMiBLaW5ib3phbiAyIFdha2Ftb3RvaGFydTsgVG9iaXphcnUgS3VzYW5vIE9ub2thdHN1IERhaWVpc2hvIFdha2F0YWtha2FnZQoKVFRUOiBNZWlzZWkgdG8gd2luLCBIaXJhZG91bWkgdG8gbG9zZSAoSSB0aGluayBJIHdhcyBqdXN0IGFib3V0IHRvIHNlbmQgdGhlc2UgcGlja3Mgd2hlbiB0aGUgc2l0ZSB3ZW50IGRvd24pCgpJU1A6IFRha2F5YXN1IChJIHRoaW5rIGJvdXQgd2FzIFRha2F5YXN1IHZzIEFiaSwgSSB0aGluayBJIHN1Ym1pdHRlZCBpdCwgaWYgbm90LCB0aGUgb25lIG9uIG15IHRvdG8gbGlzdCBiZWxvdykKClRvdG86IEknbSBwcmV0dHkgc3VyZSBJIHN1Ym1pdHRlZC4gSWYgbm90OgpBc2FoYWt1cnl1CkthemVrZW5vClNoaWRlbgpBc2Fub3lhbWEKS3lva3VrYWl5dQpIYXRzdXlhbWEKVHN1cnVnaXNobwpTaGlyb2t1bWEKTmlzaGlraWZ1amkKQ2hpeW9zaG9tYQpLb3RvZWlobwpPc2hvdW1pCk1pdGEKU2hpc2hpClNob25hbm5vdW1pClRvYml6YXJ1CkFzYWtvcnl1ClNhZGFub3VtaQpDaHVyYW5vdW1pCk1laXNlaQpSb2dhClNob2RhaQpLaW5ib3phbgpPbm9rYXRzdQpVcmEKS3VzYW5vCldha2Ftb3RvaGFydQpBdGFtaWZ1amkKVGFrYXlhc3UKSGFrdW9obwpBb25pc2hpa2kKS290b3pha3VyYQpIb3Nob3J5dQpPbm9zYXRv You're free to copy them (not really, that's bad practice) Just to make clear, if I submitted Toto and ISP as I think I did, those submissions are ok even if these here don't match. When the deadline is close or passes, I'll post the normal message, I don't want admins to have to decode this crap.

All sumogames.de sites went out about 20 minutes ago. I was just waiting in case the certificate is being updated or something. It kicked me out while I was doing my TTT picks and I thought the universe was punishing me for voting against Chiyoshoma yesterday

Another juryo janitor leaves us. Good riddance, big guy

I'm supposed to be the lone Chiyoshoma lover in the planet yet in TTT today I'm the only one to pick against him? Really???? 2 3-3 +27 1.776 Oskahanada Kotoeiho 0-5 W (2) Hiradoumi 4-1 L (0) W +2 1.025 J2e Kotoeiho 1-5 oshidashi 2-0 J2w Chiyoshoma 2-4

I was pretty disappointed with Takayasu today in the komusubi battle. He understood that Aonishiki likes to have a low stance and tried to lift him up with quick tsuppari, but by now he should know that technique requires staying pretty nimble on your feet and, most importantly, mouthing "shiu-shiu" with every stroke.
