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:

"One hit away," Yost said.
Is this advice for fans for dulling the pain? Certainly it's not game analysis. |

"Yeah, we gave up 174 yards rushing today, but they got 109 of that on two runs. Take those away, and we looked pretty good on defense out there." |

Exactly. I'm half expecting him to distribute "impressive" statistics when the inevitable "resignation" news conference happens.

Mitch Maier is a guy in any other team or era would have been up for a cup of coffee, but damn if he didn't come up at the right time for him. A time where he can suck all he wants and keep hogging AB's for 4 frickin years.

He can deny all he wants, but I'm going with this as fact. There will probably be a Doggity Q Sauce reference soon, or a salute from DM.

Great image to be going viral for the all star hosts. The author of that book really should be thinking about incorporating this image into their promo materials. ![]()
