-----                -----
 
Akinoshima     -  -  Tomoefuji
Mitoizumi      8  2  Oginohana
Konishiki      1  1  Tokitsunada
Kushimaumi     2  4  Kotogaume
Kotobeppu      0  0  Daishi
Takamisugi     2  2  Higonoumi
Kiraiho        5  2  Daishoho
Kenko          2  2  Misugisato
Daizen         1  1  Minatofuji
Kitakachidoki  8  4  Kotofuji
Mainoumi       7  3  Kotoinazuma
Asanowaka      1  0  Kyokudozan
Hamanoshima    1  1  Kirishima
Oginishiki     1  2  Takatoriki
Tomonohana     1  1  Terao
Kaio           0  2  Tochinowaka
Kotonishiki    1  2  Musoyama
Takanonami     4  0  Kasugafuji
Wakanohana     6  6  Musashimaru
Takanohana    12  1  Kotonowaka
 
I can't believe that they scheduled Wakanohana and 
Musashimaru to fight so early.  I think it stinks,
as it's best to wait til senshuraku for the leaders
to go at it.  Boo Hiss to the Sumo Kyokai.  Really,
I think it's a set-up so that the loser tommorow
will get bummed out and lose the rest, while the
other Ozeki Takanonami loses at least once, and
then Takanohana can claim at least a share of the
jun-yusho and make Yokozuna.  Then again, Taka'd
have to beat Musashimaru, which looks tough.  ;->

Mata nee....
