Re: Natsu Basho Juryo

[abe@kaleida.com (Masumi Abe)]

Thank you Tommy for posting Natsubasho Juryo record.
If we apply the standard advancement calculation (Win - Loss = N-mai
advancement), it seems like Oginohana, Aogiyama and Daishi will be the
happy three in Makuuchi. Kushimaumi needed one more win to be ahead of
Daishi.

Too bad Hoshitango will lose the big status "sekitori" and will be a
"tsukebito" and serve someone probably his fellow Hoshiandesu from Argentin
in Nagoya.

I've heard this before. And I think I've read same story in one of books
written by Moto-Sekiwake Kurama. I don't have that book here, but I can
check it at home.
