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:

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.

Keep it up! I'm rooting for us to finish third for the first time in years, with wild card next year hopefully.

Just keep on challenging Salvy's arm. You will pay dearly

Paniero · 09-11-2012, 07:48 PM

Big Willie style

Nightfyre · 09-11-2012, 07:49 PM

Jesus. I have NO IDEA how Salvy turned that play so quickly and with that level of precision. The man is a magician.

**chefsos** · 09-11-2012, 07:52 PM

Yer boy Salvy got bored and decided to gun the guy down sidearm. What's next, between the legs?

SPchief · 09-11-2012, 08:26 PM

Cain going for the cycle.....Promptly gets hit in the head

stonedstooge · 09-11-2012, 08:29 PM

Hit in the head ought to be worth a double

**Shogun** · 09-11-2012, 08:32 PM

Escobar and Perez are both scary good.

Nightfyre · 09-11-2012, 08:34 PM

Cain is starting to look scary good as well, though he is a bit older than those two you mentioned.

CoMoChief · 09-11-2012, 08:37 PM

As much as I love baseball...it's just so hard to give a shit about the Royals after the Allstar break.

Sorry, but the ownership of this team over 20 yrs has conditioned me that way.

stonedstooge · 09-11-2012, 08:37 PM

And Johnny G. has been stroking pretty damn good the last few days. Maybe there's hope for him yet. If we have ourselves a 2nd basemen, we may have ourselves a team
