Fans hoping to see Bryce Harper make baseball fun again during tonight’s Mets-Nationals had to wait a while for things to get going due to rain in the area.

And to make things worse, the Nationals compounded the problem when their sprinkler system inexplicably went off on an already wet field:

It’s not everyday you see inclement weather and manufactured weather wreak havoc on a baseball game, but there’s a first time for everything.
Nationals waste water

As if there weren't enough water, the sprinklers are now on in the Nationals Park outfield.
