Heavy Rain Delays Mets-Braves Game, Floods Turner Field

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.

Earlier this year, Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez filmed a torrential downpour flooding the Kauffman Stadium dugout. It was pretty much the same scene in Atlanta on Thursday.

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:

They won't be playing baseball at Turner Field any time soon. However, the grounds crew is doing what it can to get the field in playing shape:

The teams were finally able to play ball after a delay of two hours and 25 minutes.
