Royals 2012 Kansas City Royals Repository Thread - Page 528

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.

i should point out that frenchy did not hit a grand slam tonight (he had the opportunity too).

thanks gmdm!!!

I like how the Royals announcers just glossed over the fact that it was Frenchy that hit into the inning killing double play.

**chefsos** · 10-01-2012, 09:12 PM

I guess the bad news is that the Tigers are hosing down the visiting clubhouse at the K with champagne and spit and piss and cum and maybe a little shit...

But the good news is that the Chisox have completed their choke job! **** those assholes.

Hopefully, Dayton, Puke and Frenchy have to clean it all up..

He should have been out of the 6th with two runs allowed and a very solid game pitched.

Instead, David Lough drops the third out in CF, and the Tigers score 4 more times.

Also... Jeff Francoeur had a brief moment of not f***ing up by driving in a run in the 8th... immediately followed by a major f***up, getting thrown out at second for the third out.

When down by three runs. And 4 outs left. And a runner at third.

Good job, Frenchy.

Escobar is worth the price of admission, and I love that the fans gave him a standing O.

**petegz28** · 10-02-2012, 08:30 PM

Alcides Escobar is the best SS in Royals history and the best SS in the game today.

**Shogun** · 10-02-2012, 08:30 PM
