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:

Jesus.
Hudler is going to make me yearn for Bob Davis. I didn't think that was possible. He should apply for Information Minister in Iraq. |

I also get a small kick out of how the video is edited to try to make it sound like the host is actually asking these guys the questions live... then cut to the press conference and it's clearly not live at all lol

For our young guy who wants to be a sports announcer for baseball - listen to Denny Matthews and copy him. He is the best of the best.

I almost said earlier why can't people just emulate Denny and be done with it.

Denny gets put on blast for making an already boring sport more boring.

If Rex Hudler calls games like that interview, this season is going to be a long one, no matter how good our offense looks.

The only solace I can see in this is if Hurler is as ****ing annoying as he appears at first blush, there should be a vocal backlash, and the douche likely won't survive past year one. The downside, we still have to live through year one.

I love it...the Royals ran off an 8-time, Gold Glove, fan idol who has forgotten more about baseball than most people would ever hope to learn for a guy who admits he is not an expert.
Smoth move..yeah, that's right, I said "Smoth"...it ain't even worth the second o |
