Never on Sunday do the Orix BlueWave win.
Manager Leon Lee's team has lost its last 22 encounters on the Sabbath -- dating back to last season it should be pointed out -- long before the American was appointed to lead the team from Kobe.
"Maybe we should petition the Commissioner's Office to cancel the remainder of our games on Sunday," said the frustrated manager after the 'Wave lost its 21st straight Nichiyobi start, 6-0 to the Nippon Ham Fighters in Tokyo on June 15. No. 22 came on June 22; a 2-0 loss to the Seibu Lions at Tokorozawa.
