Royals 2012 Kansas City Royals Repository Thread - Page 129

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.

One of the beauties about Baseball is that it is an easy game to follow on Radio (I don't think many other sports can say that). Sometimes, I actually prefer it. Reminds me more of my childhood.

**RockChalk** · 04-06-2012, 09:03 AM

It's funny the time difference between some of us. I'm almost 30, but I rarely listened to games on the radio growing up. I'd either go to games or watch on the rare occasion we were on TV.

I remember being really excited when we first got an internet connection for our Packard Bell computer a long time ago. We had Prodigy and I was going crazy because I could look up the Royals score of that day right then, rather than waiting for the paper. I thought it was just so crazy to be able to do that.

Opening Day is finally here for the Royals! Feels like the rest of MLB has been playing for a week already.

Mama Hip Rockets · 04-06-2012, 11:25 AM

Why? I get every game just not the national games on FOX when the ****head Cardinals are on at the same time.

Look at the FOX broadcast schedule. Six times the Royals are on and half of the time, the Cardinals are the other game. That means no Royals on tv in Central or Southwest Missouri.

Eh yeah that sucks. I'm sure somebody on here can get a stream of the game online like they did for Chiefs games.

The Royalsification of the A's continues.

Remember when people were predicting that Kila might have a chance at breaking the franchise HR record? Ahh.....good times.
