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:

The Orioles were remarkable in one run games and had a terrible run differential. Something has to give.

Not unless the Red Sox suck again. Any reversion back to what they normally are, mid 90s in wins, and you're dead meat. I could see Boston being .500 this year, Toronto being about 84-78, same with TB. And Yankees always win 95 so they're a shoo-in. I doubt the O's get close to .500 this year. I am fairly certain they end up mid 70s in wins. |

Oh good another internet bet that won't have an outcome for 9 months and bans each poster from threads that don't even exist yet... and the Orioles thread may never exist. This is good stuff.

So..... why do we want him banned?
His posts are sometimes entertaining.

Because we don't like people who disagree with us. It makes the meltdowns less circle jerk when others break in. Duh man.

I am not as mad about this trade as I was yesterday. In some ways I think GMDM did all he could given the tightwad he works for. I heard the talking heads on the radio say GMDM took a shot or two at Glass during his presser in those regards.
Unfortunately when your owner is too cheap or unable to afford to compete using cash you are forced to trade away prospects in lopsided trades. |
