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:

Glass needs to sell the team. The stadium is paid for and the Royals are locked in for 20 years. Now is the time for fans to start boycotting. This won't happen though because if you look at Kansas City overall (not just the sports scene) this ****ing town loves mediocrity. |

Not true at all. Kansas City is definitely a sports town, a lot of very loyal fans(you'd have to be loyal given the lack of success over the years). There are also a TON of bandwagon type fans. If the Royals were to have any type of success EVER, this city would go ape shit for them. There are a lot of morons out there, but I can't think of anyone who would say they are cool with mediocre.

I still have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that we haven't even made the playoffs since winning the title in 85. That takes commitment and dedication.
