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:

From the sounds of it most of the Royals already have... which is awesome.

Can't wait to see how Broxton looks in a Royal's uniform! Hopefully a little thinner.

Apparently Billy has lost weight too. Ned says he may be in the best shape of his life.

Stop being a 15 year old with 15 year old jokes. Heh.

I agree with whoever said this is the most hyped Royals season in a long time. 22 years & I can't remember a more hyped one (maybe '04, but even my sophomore in HS self knew that was doomed to fail). Growing up I went to Wichita Wranglers games all the time (FU, Glass) & swear some of those teams could have put together better records than the big league team. Same was probably true in Omaha & NWA in the last few years.

![]() This year, I can understand. But next year? I mean, you gotta get there at some point... By that time (2013), Hos, Moose, Gio, etc. should be pretty well-adjusted. I understand that you don't want expectations to get too high, but my God. Grow a pair. |

This is our year!
Signed, every Royals season for 25 years.

I'd never heard either of our new tv guys before. Hudler seems like he's going to be either really entertaining or really annoying.

Tips on being an announcer:
- Do not try to be the next Dick Vitale (Annoying) - Do not try to be the next Hawk Harrelson (Dumbass) - Do not try to be the next Randy Cross (Heavy bias against a partictular team) - Please do not try to overuse/overabuse terms (I.E. "Oh my." "Whoa Nellie." "Not so fast, my friend." Etc.) There's plenty more out there, but that's all I can think of at the moment.
