Thursday is a day the Washington Nationals long to forget.
After the team and community fought hard to get Anthony Rendon selected as the final National League All-Star member, the organization embarrassed itself with an unneeded rain delay of three hours.
Before losing to the Atlanta Braves in the wee hours of Friday morning, the club made the Braves, their own players and thousands of unhappy fans wait three hours and five minutes until starting the game. Although there were chances of heavy rain, nothing ever happened.
When it rained, it never poured hard enough to delay anything.
