Since Saturday will be a first in the history of baseball, all media coverage will go to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.
The Nationals take on the Diamondbacks Saturday at 4:05 p.m.

The way things are going I wouldnt be surprised if some of these girls had a penis. What has happened to this country
Wouldnt an all-girl Cub Scout den be considered a Brownie troop?
“Boys have always thought that. Its nothing new. Girls who can hang are cool.”
Someday I’m going to have to ask what planet you’re from.
Once the girls began to join, the organization lost its appeal to a lot of boys.
Is this a surprise to anyone? LOL.
If it’s anything like my dollar general they don’t last. They get a case at a time and they have people comin in and buying them a dozen boxes at a time. Especially the thin mints.
Most young boys like a girl who can run with them. Girlfriend material for a youngster. It’s not that unusual. I surprised it surprises you. We must have grown up on different planets.
Do you mean Brownies?
“Why prohibit girls from the same goals?”
Because you screw it up and ruin it for the boys... the ones it was created for. (And that is entirely original with me, and in no way plagiarized. Just like MLK’s dissertation.)
“Most young boys like a girl who can run with them.”
Were you ever a young boy?
“Is this a surprise to anyone?”
We seem to have a number of “deniers” on this thread.
For a little while longer.
Chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug
Must be last weeks news the Diamondbacks were in town last weekend. The Phillies play in DC this coming weekend.
That has actually happened to someone I know. Spoke to him on Easter about it. He said he left the Boy Scouts because they had girls involved. And he was tracking to go Eagle and loved it. And this young man is quite impressive. Would have made a hell of an Eagle.
You’re missing the point here.
It has nothing to do with affording girls the benefits of scouting.
I believe there are a couple of religious organizations that fill the role, but I don't know how extensive their membership is.
Did you not read my earlier post. Sisters have been participating in virtually all scounting activities for years. Cub scouts is a family organization. Scouting is just making it possible for the girls to advance through the ranks. I repeat the girls have always been there. They boys don’t really pay much attention to the girls. You have an opinion based on a preconceived notion. I have seen it with my two old eyes. It will have little to no affect on the boys scouting experience and will give the young girls an opportunity to learn the lessons scouting has been teaching the boys for years.
Why can't she or her friends, or their moms start her own girls' scouting outfit? Is it about the activities, or about the boys?
Or why not join better organizations that already exist? There are some that have been started in recent years, as the traditional American ones have gotten perverted at the national level by having to approve of homosexuality and abortion. Most of the new ones are Catholic or Evangelical. At least some of the religious ones I've heard of for girls seem more adventurous about the outdoors and at the same time celebrating girls for being feminine.
I can’t say I remember them.
