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:

I’ve never heard anything definitive, but it seems to be standard to rest them for a bit and throw them back out there. I’ve heard a similar story about Wainwright after his UCL popped, and also recall the same thing happening with Liriano a few years ago.

Depends what message board. If you say anything positive about the Chiefs on here you get shot. If I go over to the KU Phog board and say anything remotely negative about what KU is doing I would get shot.

Like I said I was almost serious. Partially serious I guess.

Don't worry guys I am starting the game thread again tonight so we ought to win 6-0.
I am hoping that the Cardinals series caused our bats to wake up and realize they need to score more and take better advantage of situations. Tampa's pitcher yesterday was not a part of the double header the day before. He arrived in town separately at a normal time and we crushed him. The offense is in there somewhere. |

It also helps if your pitcher is keeping you in the game.

Sal and Escobar are signed long term. Butler, Hosmer and Gordon are under team control for a few more years while they've been working on a deal with Gordon.
