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:

Shit just crushes older folks. Like some of my uncles they are like following the team for the first time since the 90's and now they gave up already. It is sad because the Royals used to be so awesome, but now this is 16 years of shit. At what point do radio stations and tv stations drop contracts on the product? Probably never. It is going to be an endless cycle of dipshittery.

T-shirt Tuesday only a few days away! Or go to Frenchy Quarter Thursday. This week, there will be a special "dip below the Mendoza-line edition."

It's not that they're bad...it's that they're record setting bad. This kind of nonsense was supposed to be a thing of the past.

The headline alone made me shake my head in disgust and then just laugh.
"Host Royals Well Represented On All-Star Ballet" http://kansascity.royals.mlb.com/new...ews_kc&c_id=kc In this age of being able to instantly edit pretty much anything I always have to laugh at the All-Star ballot being set in stone so damn early and including players who aren't even playing. Perez went out well before the season started, yet he's our candidate at catcher. Bentancourt has been one of the "better" hitters on the team but Getz is listed at 2nd base... not that either deserve votes anyway, it just makes me laugh. Apparently MLB doesn't have the ability to edit once they type anything out.

Well, if you thought the Royals had a bad day yesterday... not only did the Mariners did shut down by a perfect game, their AAA team got 1-hit and lost 12-0. The top two levels of their organization went 1-56 at the plate yesterday.
