Sunday marked the 10th anniversary of a day that changed the world forever. There are so many reports about how the sports world handled the occasion, yet I don't think there is enough talk about how important Philadelphia was for baseball to begin the healing process 10 years ago.
The Phillies swept the Braves and now they have reduced their magic number to 12. I don't think there is much debate left for the NL East, but this was a potential NLCS matchup in October.

Last night the Phillies played a tight 3-2 win over the Reds, and overshadowing the Victorino HR and the Madson save was the performance of Cole Hamels.
Hurricane IRENE continues to pound the region with flooding rains, damaging winds and numerous Tornado Warnings.
Hurricane Irene is a Category 2 storm with winds averaging 110 mph. This is a very large storm, with tropical storm force winds extending almost 300 miles from the storm's center.
