It's strange, because the adage "Spahn and Sain and pray for rain" is easily misconstrued if you don't know the background of it. In a vacuum, it seems it's the competition bemoaning the Braves staff. In other words, with Spahn and Sain being so great, they pray for rain so they don't have to face yet another unbeatable Boston hurler. The fact the quote refers to the team basically saying THEY themselves have nothing but Spahn and Sain, has always struck me as odd. Kind of a backhanded compliment?
