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:

It wouldn't make a lick of sense to call up Myers now.
Back in June or July? Yeah, that would have been great. Now, though, the season is over. We'd be burning that year of service time for nothing. |

The big danger is that the kid becomes (and justifiably so) soured on the organization for putting bullshit economics--Glass can afford to pay the kid should he become a star--ahead of on-field development and wins. If we Longoria him, I'll recant my criticism of how ****ing stupid Glass and DM are. |

The myers decision is all about the 40-man roster. They don't want to put him on it, cause they want to retain guys like francface, Chen, Mazarro, Bryan Pena, Adam Moore, Getz, Booshwa, Dyson, and Derrick Robinson...

Nice steal of second in the ninth. NEXT TIME KEEP YOUR ****ING FOOT ON THE BAG SO YOU DON"T GET TAGGED OUT AFTER YOU'VE SWIPED THE BASE. ****, even Joey Gathright knew that much. |

Chen got ridiculously lucky in this game. Walks two to leadoff an inning, gives up a single that doesn't score the runner from second, then pops up two batters not deep enough to score the sac fly andd then gets a ground out to end the inning. Wtf?

Umm, chen is a fly ball pitcher. He shouldn't be on the staff next year, but he did his job tonight.
