Thursday’s game between the New York Mets and Atlanta Braves was delayed before it ever started—possibly because they don’t have canoes at Turner Field.

Mets catcher Kevin Plawecki shared a video from the tunnel leading to the visitor’s clubhouse. To say that it’s raining in Atlanta would be an understatement.
In fact, the game appears to be in serious jeopardy. Just look at these images of the field tweeted by 92.9 The Game’s Grant McAuley and ESPN’s Adam Rubin:
