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.

The white and blue ones are cheapest, powder blue is most expensive, at a bit over $200.

I like the gamble involved, especially with these ****ing Royals players. Did you ever have a Neifi Perez?

I might stick with a look alike from Korea for about $175 cheaper!

hah, nope. Got a royal blue teahen because I saw an O Royals game where he looked awesome and got called up soon after. That jersey went to hell pretty quickly. I was very cautious after that, so then I got a Billy Butler Royal blue jersey.

Last year I wanted a powder blue jersey with the 2012 all-star game patch on it, and got the safest player available: Escobar.

Don't ever buy a pitcher unless its a cheap jersey or you got tons of money to burn.

I like the default 15 ppp. I've never seen a reason to change it and never understood why people have cared what my settings are. A few people have tried to get me to change it... like it bothers them or something lol.

says who? you're clearly the expert on what phrases people should and shouldn't use, right?

look--I pointed out that he was wrong. I pointed on that his post is only correct if one goes with 15 posts per page, which I'm pretty sure only grandmothers and people 'new' to the forum do (and apparently you...)

got a problem with me making fun of random stupid shit? deal with it. that's half the fun of this forum and, alas, life in general.
