December 2016 Sports Update

Time for a new sports update. Well, baseball season did not go as good as was expected for the Washington Nationals(many thought they would be in the World Series again), and they lost on the first round of the playoffs. Still looking forward to this coming 2017 season. Nats have lost a few players including catcher Ramos, and got a couple of new ones, but they still need a closer. They added Adam Eaton to play centerfiled so Trea Turner can now play shortstop. Relief pitching will tell if the team is better this year.The Washington Redskins football team finally decided that Kirk Cousins is their quarterback after two good seasons in a row. And, they can make the playoffs this year if they win New Year's Day 2017. The Washington Wizards should make the playoffs this season, but still not sure if they are good enough to win in the playoffs? Guards Wall and Beals are great, but they have a really weak bench. The Washington Capitals are really good(again) this season, should definitely make the playoffs, and hopfully get on a run during the playoffs after losong in the playoffs last season. Their stars are getting old, so could theis finally be the year they have a good playoff run?

In college sports, the Maryland Terps football team had a good season, under their new coach(K Durkin), but they lost their bowl game to Boston College this week, and did not look good. They are having a good recruiting class so far this year. We will see if the results on the field will match. The Maryland Terps basketball team is off to a great start this season and should be in the Top 20 late in the season with several Freshmen playing a lot. Melo Trimble decided to return this season which helps. They got another great recruiting class and deep with players, and they could make a run in the NCAA playoffs this year. The Maryland Terps baseball team was a little disappointng last season and did not make the College Wrold Series playoffs like they did lin 2015. They should return to the playoffs this season with a good retruning class and some good recruits.
