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 know Marc, personally. There has to be some serious truth to this.... not sure what would be going in return.

I won't be a happy camper if we gave up Myers for this

Thanks. I'm serious. I don't know if I have the emotional fortitude to keep getting my fandom pushed in by these criminally stupid ****s running my two favorite franchises.

If it's a deal like this, I would assume Myers, Butler, and probably another prospect like Ventura.

Ken Rosenthal says it's Myers and "other prospects." Not surprising.

Well, at least I can call into work tomorrow from throwing up all night long. I'm just going to lay in a pool of my own vomit and urine.

oh, I'm already presuming Myers is gone. If he wasn't in the trade and we didn't trade a mlb starter, it would be a major coup.

Somebody tell me I should feel about this. Right now I'm pissed, so I'm hoping my initial reaction is wrong.
