I'm doing 10 things at once here so not watching it but pretty sure he was joking around. Rarely are they going to cancel one that quick, especially with just a 1/2 inning to go and the home team down. Though unlikely anything is possible, they will get a quick hook sometimes if the bad weather is slow moving and showing to be stagnant in the area for a long period of time. That or the umps got reservations at one of the nicer eating places in town or bet the under earlier in the day.
