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:

Is Al going to start the game thread? I think he should, since he has the fancy graphics and all.

We should pool our money, bring Rex to a bar, and scream

Whoever's doing it should do it asap just so some damn dirty Cards fan doesn't do it first and put one of those silly birds on the prefix. We need mojo!

Do you think there's a chance we could be buyers going into the the deadline?
If so, who are some guys we could be looking at? I looked at some of the bottom of the barrel teams and saw a few guys... Honestly the one I like the most is probably Brandon McCarthy of the A's. King Felix is down a bit this year, and of course we have all talked about Greinke, not that we'd trade to take him back. |

I'm not sure if you guys saw this in the game thread, but Alex Gordon had more walks in Sunday's game than Humberto Quintero has all year.
