Game 7 rain delay sends World Series Twitter into hysterics
The baseball gods trolled us all on Wednesday night.
World Series viewers reacted with hysterical resignation when groundskeepers in Cleveland brought out the tarp for a rain delay after nine innings and four hours of Game 7 baseball led to a tie score and nothing decided.
Baseball may be slow but the internet works lightning-fast. This crying Jordan tarp summed up the situation well.

The delay only lasted about 15 minutes before the 10th inning began -- but who knows what else the night could bring. Maybe that prophetic Twitter user was right after all about the apocalypse being nigh.
At least we have each other, internet. At least we have each other.
