Hatsu Basho: Day 2



As Hashimoto gets ready to nervously take the helm
of the Japanese government, life goes on in Ryogoku:

Winners:        Kimarite:    Losers:

Kyokudozan  2-0  uwatenage    Tokitsunada   1-1 (J)
Tamakasuga  2-0  tsukiotoshi  Higonoumi     1-1
Tomonohana  1-1  yorikiri     Kirishima     1-1
Mainoumi    1-1  yoritaoshi   Daishi        0-2
Kasugafuji  1-1  hatakikomi   Asanowaka     0-2
Oginishiki  2-0  yorikiri     Hamanoshima   1-1
Aogiyama    2-0  oshidashi    Konishiki     1-1
Daishoho    1-1  uwatenage    Oginohana     0-2
Naminohana  2-0  oshidashi    Kotobeppu     0-2
Asanosho    1-1  tsukiotoshi  Kotonowaka    0-2
Terao       1-1  hatakikomi   Kotoinazuma   0-2
Takatoriki  2-0  hikiotoshi   Minatofuji    1-1
Mitoizumi   2-0  yorikiri     Misugisato    1-1
Kaio        2-0  yorikiri     Akinoshima    1-1
Kotonishiki 1-1  yoritaoshi   Kenko         1-1
Musoyama    1-1  oshitaoshi   Wakanohana    0-2
Takanonami  2-0  yorikiri     Tochinowaka   1-1
Asahiyutaka 1-1  yoritaoshi   Musashimaru   1-1
Takanohana  2-0  okuridashi   Kitakachidoki 1-1
Tosanoumi   1-1  oshidashi    Akebono       0-2

Whoa, nellie! Tosanoumi just smoked Akebono! The big
man never got anything started, and Tosanoumi came
at him with a good strong push, got Ake moving and
then easily pushed him out. Worst loss I can recall
for Ake. Hmmm.  Musoyama took it to Wakanohana, who
also falls to 0-2. Musashimaru couldn't make the real
tsuppari work again, and the improving Asahiyutaka got
around it to push him out and down. This one really
called for a mono-ii, but the shimpan did nothing, to
the surprise of Musashimaru. It's starting to look
like a cruise for Takanohana already, who's been his
best in Tokyo.

Nokotta Nokotta!!
