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:

Poor kid. You should go back a few pages and watch the videos I posted from the '85 playoffs and WS. They still give me chills today. Proof that great Royals teams did in fact exist once, heh.

I'm 27. I remember the 94 team really well. That team was clicking at the right time and had the pitching to do damage in the playoffs. Appier, Cone, Gubs, and Tom Gordon.

Heard on KC radio today that Dayton Moore, at a luncheon or some speaking engagement, stated that he doesn't expect to compete this year or next year. I don't mind taking the role of underdog, but damn man, set the bar a little higher than that

![]() Good luck with the career choice. I know a little something about broadcasting, although not sports broadcasting persay. My advice is to pronouce "W" like it's supposed to be pronounced. It's double-you... not dubba-you or dubba-ya or anything but double-you. Little things like that can be the difference between working where you want instead of where you have to.

I'm sure he will. It's good when kids have that good of a grasp on their future that soon. My daughter is the same age and the same way. I think it helps her to be and stay focused on what she needs to do to get there.
