Great to be able to watch Sumo again! I miss Asa but Baruto looks powerful - I wonder how far he can go? Thanks again Jason.

[JasonsinJapan]

@babablowfish yeah - I miss Asa too. Make a prediction for Baruto's record this basho and check back in two weeks and see if you were right. :)

I am thinking 12-3 I am not really sure why. I think he will do well, but not the best we have seen him at.

[JasonsinJapan]

@SchoolhouseTechno yeah, it's often the case for brand new ozeki - they don't have the best tourney when they first get promoted, but there are exceptions of course

Thank heaven its sumo again. something to take my min off of EBAY. Im trying to sell something and its my first time and Im not sure if it is setup right or not, lol.

[JasonsinJapan]

@crazyzee81 I'm pretty good with selling on Ebay, so if you want to send me a link in a PM to your auction, I can have a look

[DanielGuerrera]

I predict 14-1 again.

Well, I want to see him get 14 wins, but he might be off by one or two. We shall see.

[TiramisuHappy]

The interval btwn every basho seems to be getting shorter and shorter every year!

Or am I getting older faster and faster? : (

Thanks for the coverage as always!
