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:

White Sox won tonight... but not without a Hawk Harrelson all-time rant.

As much as I hate the White Sox and Hawk, he's absolutely right.

I haven't heard Denny Matthews' voice in a while. Does he only do home games?

I liked the trade too, although not as much as most people. I liked Melky more than most of you guys, but I was still excited about the potential of Sanchez. I thought the trade was a good deal for both teams at the time, but obviously the Giants won.

Just one of those shitty things that we as Royals fans are all too accustomed to seeing. |

Detroit is 23-27 so we are only 1.5 back of them which is the most important thing IMO. Cleveland has lost Hafner to knee surgery for 4-6 weeks so they ought to fall back significantly. Chicago going on this winning streak is a bit disappointing but hopefully that won't last. Considering we had a 12 game losing streak things aren't as bad as they could be.

There is definitely reason for hope. On the other hand, ther pucker factor created by our rotation isn't good.

I've heard Splitt go off on radio like this before. it had to be 04 just a shit year. (I can't believe that shitty year was 9 years ago) Someone threw at us and we threw back and we got thrown out even the hit batters were 1 to 1. Splitt was like "That is what happens when umpires don't understand the game. I actually think our player was thrown out for throwing a breaking ball.
