Oh, the network slogan is true -- "watch FOX and be damned for all eternity!"

My team's off to a rough start. It breaks my heart to see Tamawashi at 1-4, but I just can't bring myself to abandon the Old Man. No trades for this basho, I think, and hopefully the boys will turn it around.

Ura has been a goddamned delight this basho and I think I need to start picking him more often.

Hi Kenning - from Day 04 results, all points matching vs mine except for StupidSexyMothman who should have 11 points instead of 10. Something to do with Shimazuumi?

Three new goonzeki are absent from your summary: Dr.Tree, Netsky and Paying2Lurk. Probably because they aren't ranked on the goonzuke?

Taffy Torpedo is also missing but let me know if your decision is to not accept their late draft entry.

Big same with Tamawashi. I still think he can pull off a kk, but it's been a tough week so far for sure.

And as someone who did draft Ura, I can say it somehow makes every Ura match even more of a rollercoaster.

My biggest disappointment so far is Daiamami. Stop making your mom in the stands sad!

That was a cool battle. But also kind of sad that it's a M8/10 matchup and not a late basho classic Ozeki, or at least sanyaku showdown.

Also, I wonder how long before Onosato goes into the grinder. He was just far enough down to avoid the week 1 joi death march but with a strong start and just outside the top, he's probably on the top of the list for guys getting pulled in. After his 0-3 run against Koto/Hosho/Teru last time, it will be cool to see if he's taken a leap forward.

Ura looks good for another sanyaku run. Dude's consistently been destroyed by the Y/O crew that can deal with his trickery while cleaning up against his equals. If he he can get to 4-5 or even 5-4 against the sanyaku, he should cruise week 2. And if he's figured out how to hold his own against the big boys hopefully he's able to stick this time.

In happier news (for me anyway), 2 wins in a row for Daiamami. The 11-4 run begins here! When Dai Mommy is happy, everyone is happy.

I'm willing to accept any ozeki in trade for the kaiju. I know Kirishima had a rough start, but I think he's turning about.

On the one hand, I'm bummed that he's pulling out, but also I'm headed to Japan for the basho in May and I really want to see that Yokozuna dohyo-iri live so I hope he rests up.

Sorry I'm late
Even at Hakuho's most broken, he only had the single run of being out a bunch in a row before his last tournament. Terunofuji's situation is way more weird and unstable. Even when Terunofuji has won, he always seems to give up 1-2 kinboshi. I think wiki is out of date and it might be worse but it says nearly 13% of his total matches have been kinboshi, which is ridiculous.

It matters in that for kyujo auto-trade, one would get the fusen loss before getting your trade the next day (Day 08 in this case). However, I'm not sure what happens if you announce your trade before the kyujo announcement, i.e. does it get treated like a normal trade enacted the next day (Day 07) without the fusen penalty. Will let Kenning decide on that point.
