2012 Kansas City Royals Repository Thread
2012 Slogan: Our Time
A better, more accurate 2012 Slogan: It is Finally Next Year (from Great Expectations) An alternative slogan if you don't like that one: Someone has to win this crappy division (from alnorth) With the beginning of a new year, it is time for the 2012 version of the Royals Repository Thread. We've got Hosmer, we've got a 2011-dominating Gordon, we've got Moose, we've got hopefully a killer bullpen, we've got a stereotypical slow slugging DH, we've got easily one of the best defensive shortstops in the AL, we've got a promising catcher in Salvador Perez. Hell, we've got offense and promising prospects galore. We do not have starting pitching. Oh yeah, we've also got this: ![]() Get ready for, (as of January 2012 anyway), one of the most confusing puzzles of a baseball season in recent Royals history. Will they suck? Maybe, I don't know. Will we be given a year of 0.500 baseball? Possibly, I don't know. Will they win the division and go to the playoffs for the first time in 27 years? For the first time in a long time, it could happen, I don't know. 92 losses, 92 wins, or anything in between would not surprise a lot of us. Everything goes here except Gameday threads and really big news. If a giant story breaks, the Royals achieve some awesome milestone, or we sign/lose a highly significant player/coach/mascot/whatever, then it might also deserve its own thread. This being Chiefs Planet, please do not clutter the board with new threads about trivial Royals news or you will only annoy those who come here for just Chiefs football. If you aren't sure and its not a Gameday thread, it goes here. What sort of stuff often goes here? SPchief explained it well, so I'll just copy that: Quote:

Michael Kirkman in for the Rangers.
5th inning, 2 runs, 3 hits for KC, 0 runs, 3 hits, and an error for the Rangers. Cain leads off and doubles to center

Lorenzo Cain. Not a bust.

Gordon drops a bloop into left, Cain was running on contact and comes home.
3-0, Royals

It will be interesting to see what happens with Cain this year. Many of us wanted him to break with the team and start last year, and I have strong suspicions that Melky will return to his career norm this year.
Therefore, this could be a huge plus for us, not only with Cain's presence, but the return for the Melky trade. |

Huge error up the middle by Kinsler (it should be an error anyway, if they score it a hit) 2 runs come home on a total whiff.

I think kc will be one of those teams that really make you pay when you give them extra outs.

Butler singles, Hosmer gambles and reaches third.
Moose singles, Hosmer scores. 6-0, Royals. All runs are now earned.

Frenchy GDP's, Royals done in the 5th. Hosmer's gamble did end up getting them another run.

SOS now pitching for the Royals.
I think it is safe to say that Mendoza is probably getting the win today. (they waive the 5-inning requirement in spring)

Ahh, there's the SOS we all know and love.
Huge long solo homer from Moreland.

Mass spring substitutions probably coming.
So far: Perez is done (Brayan Pena in for him), Cain is done (Mitch Maier in for him), and Escobar is done (Betancourt in for him) Every single starter for the Rangers is done, except Michael Young, and he's probably done too since he's a DH.
