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:

You're right, you've convinced me. We must put Chen on a three day rotation immediately. We must pitch him at every opportunity. Innings Innings Innings. He is our only hope. |

Screw you Therm. Chen probably won't even make it through the season healthy. I'll bet you a Royals Unemployment pen that he doesn't even make to the all star break without a stint on the DL.

So, in other words, you're finally admitting that what you said was stupid and you can't back it up with facts.

BTW, did anyone catch Dayton Moore's nugget two days ago? "I told Mr. Glass I didn't think we would start the season well". Then when onto say we will win a lot of games in "13 & 14".
What happened to 12? Why didn't he tell the fans what he told Glass? Oh yea, ticket sales. ****ing piece of shit excuse making bundle of sticks. |

Even Rachel Phelps thinks Glass is a shitty owner.

If you heard him you heard nothing but excuses. No ownership of anything. **** him, **** the Glass family. I've been watching the Royals for 37 years and I have seen great teams and I have seen shit teams and this looks like one of the shittiest teams I have ever seen, young or not.

MLBN asks Mitch Williams "What are you looking for from the rest of tonight's action?" Mitch says "I'm looking to see how long the Royals keep Ned Yost as the manager."

Just made a declaration to my friends on facebook and twitter. I'm not shaving until the Royals win a game and end this bullshit losing streak. We've got to back into a win somehow right?
