Royals 2012 Kansas City Royals Repository Thread - Page 194

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:

Do the same for the Chiefs.

I like the O's, like the Nats too.
But we owe you for that sweep in KC last week so, I hope we bring the pain.

http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=7943635 Love hearing stuff like this.

1. Dylan Bundy, RHP, Baltimore Orioles (age 19)
Current level: High Class A (Frederick)
Preseason ranking: 11

The Orioles' bizarre, ultraconservative handling of Bundy aside, he didn't just dominate inferior competition in low Class A, he did it with the stuff and polish that could, in another organization, have had him in the big leagues this year or at the start of 2013. (The club finally promoted him to Frederick on Wednesday after he threw 30 scoreless innings for Delmarva to open the year, with 40 strikeouts and just five hits allowed.)

I don't think it's a stretch to say that a redraft of 2011's tremendous class would have Bundy on top, which would have made him the first prep right-hander to go first overall.

Baltimore's offense is living by the HR by leading the league in them. I am not sure that will continue and hopefully the regression starts Friday against KC.

The Orioles can eat shit and die.

Are O's fans getting cocky now?

No just enjoying the ride could have 30 wins before the end of may.

I have a friend who is an O's fan. Similarly tortured like us Royals fans so I can't dislike them.

I went to Camden Yards when we were in DC visiting my uncle. Game got rained out and the makeup date was weeks later so we didn't get to see any baseball. Sweet ballpark though.

A day off, somewhere on the road between NYC and Baltimore. I wonder sometimes what ballclubs do on those days.

I guarantee you they are in either New York or Baltimore today.
