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:

You know what DeLexus... just go ahead and **** right off. I thought we were friends.
BTW it's fun watching the Cards playing through 7 scoreless in what could be their 3rd shutout in a row. edit... sorry I mentioned another team.

No I really meant lucky us. If it wasn't for beerme and a handful of others, there would be no Royals talk on this board.

Lots of people here better than me at Royals talk. I jinxed the Cardinals. They finally scored a run for the first time in 3 games. See?... I suck.

Hardly, tones just hard to convey in the written word. Easy to misunderstand intent.

Rany tweets from today:
"I don't mind swinging 3-0 when it's used judiciously. And by "judiciously", I mean "by someone other than Jeff Francoeur." about 7 hours ago The Royals got out of it, but if Giavotella had made that error, a shuttle van would have driven on to the field to take him to Omaha. #Yuni about 7 hours ago The A's are so impotent that Vinny Mazzaro, the #5 starter from Central Casting, can shut them out for 6 IP. But they beat Luke like a drum. about 7 hours ago This might sound strange, but today's game is the final piece of evidence I need that Luke Hochevar is never going to work out in KC." I love you, Rany. "Central Casting..." ![]() |

He has regular spots on 810, and his appearances are always available via podcast. You should check out his latest discussion with Petro ("The Program"). Believe he appeared on Thurs/Fri. Talked draft and well worth the listen.

Yeah that doesn't work for me. Guess I'll try the podcast and search 810 Kansas City.

Rany is great and all, but Frenchy is there to park baseballs.
