[sumo] [Spoiler] Asashoryu

I watched the 'heel' match and the replays and altho Asa's foot was on the edge, it looked to me as if it did not touch outside - It was pretty close, tho - I think it deserved a little more consideration than it got. but that is only my opinion and I am no expert.

What's wrong is that Musashigawa has upset Asashoryu's applecart.  He is so 
disturbed about the recent change of leadership that it is affecting everything 
he does.  I didn't see the "heel" match, but from what I have read, I cannot 
believe that there wasn't even a monoii called.  You would think that a Yokozuna 
would merit at least that consideration.  I am sure that Scott will provide more 
details on the "get rid of Asa" conspiracy, but for my 2 cents, I think they 
would like nothing better than for him to retire and go back to Mongolia.

And on a happier note (at least for me, as I am a Musashigawabeya fan), 
Bushuyama won in Makuuchi on Day 9 and is 2 wins from getting there on a full 
time basis.  I probably don't want to know what has been fueling his fire the 
past 12 months, but I will be fat, dumb, and happy about it.
