You are right, nothing to discuss but Asashoryu as usual.

John Kruk, the chubby (ok, portly?) outfielder/first baseman for the Philadelphia Phillies in the early '90's was at a sports-related event, where he was introduced as one of that city's prominant sports figures. A lady standing beside him looked him over, and said, "You don't look like an athlete." He replied, "No, ma'am. I'm a baseball player." (I am not worthy...)

Who cares what you care?

I sure hope so. Also, does anyone know how I could get my hands on any of the previous DVDs? Sounds like they'd be an interesting watch. I hope they include all of the many fantastic matches he had with Hakuho. Hope someone posts a link.

Does anyone really believe that he was really clinically depressed? People were skeptical then what with questionable doctors and all. Scarcely a word has been mentioned by Ryu or the sports media about that condition in the two years since he came back. (Detective...) there are some still believe!

One of his toughest match-ups is the first 2 days, when he's still rusty. Asa with his highly refined fundamental skills, muscle memories and natural instincts easily can shake off rust gradually regaining his form at the expense of mediocre maegashira earlier conserving his energy for later. But brings his "A" game when it matters up against uprising opponents likes of Bart, Kise deliberately subduing them thus sending a message his is still the top dog.

If he sees there's no chance clinching a title in 2010 he would rather retire. With 24 yushos under his belt, he's currently in a tie with Kitanoumi for 3rd place all time. 1 yusho, minimum.

Hak - 3 Asa - 2 Haru - 1

More like Chiyotaikai's OBSC membership card has expired and his submission to renew it has been turned down. Permanently. hahahaha priceless.

Eye does the image! Your galleries are awesome, it's mind boggling the way you choose different angles to take your shots.

And your basis for this assessment is...? Please back me up, wise guy!

one answer yacho

If I'm not mistaken Hakuho had the same amount of keiko as Asashoryu, yet he slips thru her fingers. Any comments on any ozeki?

I'm just a jealous guy.
