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:

Cano is dead to me.

Dr. Johnny Fever · 07-02-2012, 06:16 PM

Well this ASG is now just another yawner for Royals fans, even as the home team. We get our usual 1 participant who will get 1 at bat probably. Others who deserved a shot... Escobar, Moustakas and Collins get over looked. Broxton gets the pat on the back of being in the final player vote but there's no way he beats Darvish (even though I put in about 100 votes for him today). Now no Royal in the derby even though Cano said he'd have one. It's just another boring ASG.

Our time.

**cabletech94** · 07-02-2012, 06:31 PM

can't get mad. typical royals fan luck (or lack there of).
damnit, i just want it to be my (our) time. just another reason to hate the yankees. and my existence as a royals fan.

I'm not mad it's just another bit of frustration. Most years we honestly don't deserve more than one All-Star and some years we don't deserve that. I'm not saying Moose and Escobar should have been starters but both are deserving of at least a back up role. Getting just one of them in would be nice, but of course that's not going to happen. Collins has the numbers as does Broxton. I thought maybe, just maybe with the game being in KC we might get at least 2 guys in of those who deserve to be. I understand there isn't room for every deserving player. Guess I was hoping for a little home cooking in a year when we have more than one guy worthy. Silly of me.

Now no derby participant when we were led to believe there would be. Just another kick in the nuts.

At least we'll get to see two former players that we traded for jack and squat start for the NL in their outfield LOL. Part of me wants to see Melky win MVP while DM gets set to cut Sanchez.

. Sure, why not. Let Melky and Betran come back to the K and ****ing go crazy.

Deberg_1990 · 07-02-2012, 06:48 PM

Beltran or Melky will win game MVP

Bank on it.

I wouldn't mind. I like both guys even though one is a dirty Cardinal... and with the way luck works for the Royals you KNOW it has a great chance to happen. Beltran wins the home run derby, Melky wins MVP, Butler strikes out with the bases loaded and 2 outs in the 9th, down 1 run to end the game.

this is why it's unfair to be a lifelong royals fan.
