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:

Oh I see. I guess since I'm not actually buying from the Royals that makes sense.

The Hawk-tionary
Ball four, base hit: Usually when the bases are empty and a walk will be as good as a base hit. Can o'corn: An easy fly ball. The outfielder reaches up to make the catch as easy as if he were pulling a can of corn off the shelf. Catbird seat: When the count favors the hitter, generally 2-0 or 3-1. Chopper, two-hopper: Routine ground ball in the infield. Cinch it up and hunker down: A pressure situtation and time for the hitter or pitcher to take stock of himself and make something happen. Duck snort: A big swing, resulting in a weak hit, usually just over the infield, as is a duck "snorted" the ball out of his beak. Ducks on the pond: Runners on base. Gas: A fastball. Hang wif'em: When a hitter is in a slump and hits a rocket line drive that is caught. Hang in there, the ball will fall one of these days. He got a cookie: A hanging curve ball, an easy pitch to hit for a home run. The hitter usually "devours" it. Picks To Click: DJ, the crew, and I select/pick a player who we think will have the best game. The numbers after our names indicate how many times each of us has been correct. The numbers change because we keep a separate tally for WGN/WCIU games and Comcast games. Right size, wrong shape: A long foul ball, usually with home run distance. Sit back, relax, and strap it down: Get ready for another exciting night of White Sox baseball! You can cancel the postgame show: The first hit of the ball game. The potential no-hitter is over and there will be no need for a show after the game to showcase the pitcher. Hawk

Sorry....I got carried away. I actually enjoy hearing the home broadcasters sometimes (not Hawk) and I surely won't pay more because I am a cheap bastard.
I just don't know how the girlfriend will feel about me wasting 3-4 hours a day to watch games.

I really liked the broadcast team for the.... Rangers I think (?) that I heard on a Royals game stream last year.

Interesting concept. Are you married or living with your partner?

I read this with the voice of Jack Nicholson (in my head). It came through perfectly.
