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:

If you locate something of interest.. ANYTHING.. deals on apparel, best ways in/out of the stadium, giveaways, great stories from this season or from seasons gone by, rumors, trades, anything.... feel free to post it here.

Doesn't matter. We're basically a farm team for the entire AL East anyway.

Ugh. This is sickening. Not only do we not get to see Myers, but we are stuck with more Frenchy Quarter commercials for another year at least.

Wasn't Moustakas close to fighting Francoeur at the end of last year? Am I making that up? Anyway, I bet he is thrilled.

You are going to have to give up a ton to get anything out there. Glad to see we actually trade prospects for Major League players.

Prison Bitch · 12-09-2012, 10:27 PM

Truly unbelievable. We just got our top young player raided by a fellow small market. One that knows how to win. We are the biggest clowns in the league. Truly amazing what we just gave up

Three7s · 12-09-2012, 10:27 PM

I'm through being a fan of this team. I've ****ing had it. Losing Myers AND Odorizzi. Someone better stop me from finding DM, breaking into his home, and castrating the **** out of him right in front of his family for this ****ing bullshit.

**** this organization forever.

**The Bad Guy** · 12-09-2012, 10:28 PM

If you're giving up this prospect haul why not just trade Myers straight for Dickey?

#Royals news release calls Wade Davis a starting pitcher – something he hasn’t been for some time. That evaluation is the KC rationale.

MLB ‏@MLB
OFFICIAL: @Royals acquire James Shields, Wade Davis, PTBN or cash from #Rays for Wil Myers, Jake Odorizzi, Mike Montgomery, Patrick Leonard.

of course, the PTBNL is really named "Cash"

Holy shit, lifetime Royals fan. I grew up going to the K, running after Brett for autographs. Hanging with Frank White in the parking lot, and going to the 85 series. I just died a bit tonight. THis is absolutely the worst feeling I have had caused by the Royals. I think I am done with them. It is a bad relationship, I keep loving them, they keep stomping on my nuts.

**OnTheWarpath15** · 12-09-2012, 10:29 PM

All that's left of the Greinke deal is Escobar and Cain.

O.city · 12-09-2012, 10:29 PM

I know this is probably a bad time, but I have a shit ton of Cardinals apparel if any of you want to climb aboard.

Also, maybe Pioli talked to DM and said to wait on this trade until after Sunday, he's gonna need some heat taken off the Chiefs and his shittiness.

DM logic probably means that Hoch is released tomorrow and we eat more money. Just because.
