Rain… Rain… and Rain
The rain loves to follow the Nationals and it shouldn’t come as a surprise to Nationals fans. Nationals’ games and rain have become synonymous this season like baseball and hot dogs. The game is currently in the midst of a rain delay in the bottom of the second inning. The Nationals lead 2-0 on a home run by Ryan Zimmerman.
Here is a look at the 18 delayed, postponed and shortened games due to inclement weather the Nationals have been a part of in 2009 for a total delay of 1,831 minutes and counting…
