The East Coast continues to brace for Hurricane Irene and while the preparations being made by many up and down the Eastern Seaboard are more important than sports, that doesn't mean Major League Baseball hasn't had its hands full either.

According to The Boston Globe's Peter Abraham, the original plan was to play a doubleheader on Friday. That idea, however, was shot down by the Red Sox players.
