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:

Greinke on Royals fans: "I don’t know how so many of them come to the games when they’ve been bad for so long. But it’s pretty impressive."

Just think Zack, you sign with us in the offseason, and you can enjoy a fun run at the central title.

Greinke goes to a large market and the media will tear him a new asshole. You think he's been psycho before...

![]() Greinke is awesome. I miss that guy. Mainly because he's actually a major league pitcher, but also cause he has totally awesome quotes like this all the time. P.S. They were giving away free shirts tonight, Zack. |

Quintero apologizes to Chen after gesture KANSAS CITY -- As catcher Humberto Quintero was apologizing on Tuesday for his actions during a Royals telecast over the weekend, pitcher Bruce Chen walked up with a big smile and gave his teammate a friendly hug. It was the aftermath of Quintero making a "slanted eyes" gesture behind Chen, who is of Chinese descent, as the pitcher was being interviewed in the dugout by Fox TV's announcers during an Interleague game against the Pirates. The incident caused a backlash of indignation on Twitter and in the media. Quintero apologized for the gesture in the clubhouse before the Royals' game against the Brewers on Tuesday night. "I apologize to the fans and people who were offended from the bottom of my heart," Quintero said. "I really feel bad because people were offended. Me and Chen are good friends and we were joking around." Quintero, from Venezuela, and Chen, from Panama, are Spanish-speaking friends. Chen's grandparents came from China to Panama during the building of the Panama Canal. "I'm not actually offended at all," Chen said. "I'm proud of my heritage, being Asian, and I like the way my eyes look. I think it's a very good look for me ... it makes me look sexy." ![]() Quintero said he apologized to Chen before Sunday's game. "The next day I apologized to him and asked him if he was offended and he said no, but that he thought people, our fans and stuff, got offended," Quintero said. "I really apologize for what I did from the bottom of my heart and I don't want to do it again." |

It's good to hear Quintero doesn't want to do it again.
He should be kicked off the team. Kansas City's Chinatown should demand it. |
