Q: You may have heard recently (possibly from me) of "Lincecum and Cain and Pray for Rain,", but this is a spin-off of the original phrase, also from baseball.
The question is, What was the actual phrase, and the full names of the two men in the original saying?


I know

"Spahn and Sain and pray for rain" or "Spahn and Sain and two days of rain"

The pitcher's names are Warren Edward Spahn, a Hall of Famer southpaw who won 363 games, and Johnny Franklin Sain, a right-hander, who were teammates on the 1946-1951 Boston Braves. Sain also became a famous and successful pitching coach.

I definitely know too much about baseball. :)

Good job!

Name the projected SF Giants rotation for '09, in order.
Easy, yes, but still...
include position battles.

The "Fenway" section of Boston. +1!

Hmm...I can't think of a good question right now. Sorry!

Dishnetkid, I think you should have a rule that you can't ask a question unless you answer one right. You're an exception.
