Thursday's game between the New York Mets and Atlanta Braves was delayed before it ever started—possibly because they don't have canoes at Turner Field.

Earlier this year, Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez filmed a torrential downpour flooding the Kauffman Stadium dugout. It was pretty much the same scene in Atlanta on Thursday.

Like many professional athletes, New York Mets outfielder Yoenis Cespedes decided he didn't want to settle for just an ordinary car.

His car is unlike any other you will see.

TMZ Sports shared a great look at Cespedes' customized ride. Think of the craziest customizations you can, and you still won't be able to top the outfielder's car. Not only is the car itself pretty decked out, but it's also only got three wheels.

It finally happened—Ruben Amaro Jr. is out as general manager of the Philadelphia Phillies. And, at long last, there's a chance for a new direction in the City of Brotherly Love.

We'll get to that new direction shortly. But first, it's necessary to perform a brief autopsy of the Amaro regime.

The Texas Rangers' depth took a considerable hit Thursday as it was announced outfielder Josh Hamilton will undergo arthroscopic knee surgery Friday, according to Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.  

Continue for updates.

Ruben Amaro Jr.'s polarizing tenure as Philadelphia Phillies general manager is over. The club announced Thursday that Amaro's contract would not be renewed, with control over baseball operations ceasing immediately.

Assistant general manager Scott Proefrock will take over for the remainder of 2015 as interim GM.

This has to be what general manager Sandy Alderson envisioned when he acquired Yoenis Cespedes at the trade deadline.

Adding a big bat to the middle of the New York Mets lineup was necessary if the club seriously hoped to contend for the playoffs. The addition of Cespedes transformed the Mets from possible playoff team to World Series contender.

Tsk tsk, Mets fans.

All it took was one—one decent regular season for you to go full Bawston.

You get a couple of good pitchers on your team and all of a sudden you're Ben Affleck stumbling around outside O'Flannigan's and pounding your chest on social media.

There is roughly one month remaining in the 2015 MLB season, and the postseason picture is really starting to take shape.

The Kansas City Royals, New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers all look like locks to win their respective divisions, but the other three are still very much up for grabs.

The Toronto Blue Jays and New York Yankees battling it out in the AL East is the tightest race at the moment, and their weekend matchup will be a big one in determining who comes out on top.

Spoiler alert: This week's edition of "Fact or Fiction" is chock-full of East Coast bias.

It's not intentional, mind you, but teams in close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean are the ones making all the noise this week. That's just how the rumor mill, and speculation in general, rolls sometimes. And none of it pertains to how things will play out down the stretch in 2015. It's all with an eye on 2016 and beyond.

While the MLB season is not technically over, many teams are already looking forward to the offseason as an opportunity to build upon the base they already have.

Which teams are going to be the biggest buyers this offseason? Will a surprise team be willing to loosen the purse strings and make a major splash?
