2 1/2+ hours after a scheduled 7:05 start Saturday night, the Nationals seemed to be holding out hope for a game:

We're still waiting out the delay here at Nationals Park, hoping to get tonight's game in — Washington Nationals (@Nationals) September 22, 2013

3 1/2+ hours into the rain delay, Bryce Harper Tweeted a photo of himself (above) dressed as a construction worker:

Shortly thereafter, it seems Harper's cry for help did the trick: the Marlins (not the Nats, notably) announced that the game had been postponed. Doubleheader on Sunday.

Worth noting: how Giancarlo Stanton passed the time:

This is what happens when you're cooped up for 6 hours in a rain delay! #Runway #sashay #shantay… http://t.co/li1LcNOApG — Giancarlo Stanton (@Giancarlo818) September 22, 2013
