Eager to get involved in the community around their spring training home, the First Ladies, a group of wives and girlfriends of Nationals players, is participating in the Alzheimer's Association's annual Memory Walk this spring. In 2009, Shari Langerhans, wife of then-National Ryan Langerhans, asked the First Ladies to participate. This year, the women decided to get involved again. "We would love to make it a yearly Spring Training tradition to participate in the Walk," said Ashley...

There are so many decisions in baseball that fans just can't control. You can debate trades, signings, contracts and strategy all day long, but Mike Rizzo and Jim Riggleman aren't necessarily calling to get your expert advice. However, there is one decision that you can make this season and it's related to a very important topic: bobbleheads. Which Washington Nationals player, coach or mascot should be replicated on the third bobblehead this year? It's up to you. Voting is now open at...

Cesar Izturis, Ty Wigginton and Michael Aubrey have rolled into camp. Luke Scott shaved his beard. He said the clippers jammed up a few times and his face felt "cold." Scott hasn't been told where he'll play this spring, so he's prepared to shag flys and take ground balls at first. As the Orioles made their roster moves over the winter, Scott had to wonder how he'd be impacted. "Personally, everyone wants to have a really good idea of where they're going to fit it, what they're...

Chris Tillman won't throw in the bullpen today, as he continues to deal with the back spasms that forced him off the field yesterday. Tillman stood and watched as the Orioles played catch after stretching. He's walking to each station, but he hasn't picked up a ball.

Chris Tillman said his back tightened up again during the night, but it felt better as the day progressed. "I probably could have gone through the whole workout, but that would have been dumb on my part," he said. "I've still got a lot of time to get in shape, and I came into camp with my arm in good shape." Tillman hopes to complete a side session tomorrow. "He did a lot of bullpens before he came," manager Dave Trembley said. "He's fine. He's not behind or anything. I think he...

In just seven days, I'll be packing my bags and heading to Viera, FL to take in the sights and sounds of spring training. I hope it warms up! It will be my third trip to Nationals spring training camp, so I've learned my way around a bit, but I'm as excited as ever. I even earned a free voucher to Walt Disney World from Disney's Give a Day, Get a Day service project, which I can't wait to redeem. Anyway, I thought I'd open this up as a fan-centric spring training discussion. ...

Cherry Blossoms: It's too bad those cherry blossoms in left field can't bloom all summer. Luckily, they do arrive just in time for Opening Day. This year, the Nationals will partner with the National Cherry Blossom Festival to celebrate the annual two-week DC festival and commemorate 98th anniversary of the 1912 gift of cherry blossom trees from Japan. "The blooming of the cherry blossoms and the crack of the bat have come to signify the start of Spring in Washington," said Nationals...
