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:

They're the baseball equivalent of "they can die in a fire."

It's the White Sox, with zero hesitation.

Oh. I don't think they have much of a future -- the White Sox.

Definitely the White Sox. Their fans attacked people twice during Royals games... they're generally a pain in the neck, and they have Hawk Harrelson. End of discussion.

If that means both Ryan and Physioc will replace Bob Davis on radio, I will be very happy.

The tv schedule has been released. Basically the 16 games not televised are the weekend games in Sept. and some weekday day games except for 7/28 because Seattle scheduled that game during FOX's window.
BTW, FOX will not televise games the last 2 Saturdays of the olympics, 8/4 and 8/11. |

Sounds like this Hudler guy is going to be a huge Homer. Basically the complete opposite of Frank White.
