[sumo] Re: Kimenryu

Kumago, mentioned in my prior email as retiring yesterday, was also one of
the yokozuna's tsukebito. Kazafuzan, from Nishikido-beya (former Mitoizumi,
will join Asashoryu's entourage, on loan.

Don't worry, Larry, Kimenryu was in good spirits last night:-)

I was afraid,

      that perhaps I'd put the Curse of the Bambino on poor
Kimenryu once I'd begun rooting for him.  After winning his first
match, he proceeded to lose the next four.  Fortunately, he was
able to turn things around at the end and has only a mild MK.

      I'm convinced that one of the things that make people like
Asashoryu great is his support staff.  So I think said staff
needs more recognition.  So here's to Kimenryu who managed to
fight valiantly while at the same time cosseting Asashoryu
sufficiently to allow the yokozuna to kick some serious butt once
again.

Take care,
      larry p
