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:

If you locate something of interest.. ANYTHING.. deals on apparel, best ways in/out of the stadium, giveaways, great stories from this season or from seasons gone by, rumors, trades, anything.... feel free to post it here.

Chief_in_Commander · 08-28-2012, 07:19 PM

Get a lead because they leave Verlander in there....so lets make the same mistake #ourtime

**chefsos** · 08-28-2012, 08:05 PM

Oh, there's Herrera. I want to see this kid's heater.

Nightfyre · 08-28-2012, 08:22 PM

Salvy is ridiculous. I made a good investment in my jersey. Locked up through 2019 baby!

Al Bundy · 08-28-2012, 08:28 PM

Damn I hate Billy on the bases.

Nightfyre · 08-28-2012, 08:35 PM

Herrera is gassed. Ned needs to hook him.

JohnnyV13 · 08-28-2012, 08:37 PM

You're asking Ned to use his eyes. Not happening.

Al Bundy · 08-28-2012, 08:48 PM

Frenchy trying to hit homeruns and hitting air.

Al Bundy · 08-28-2012, 08:49 PM

Frenchy with the ultimate "I quit" at bat.

Nightfyre · 08-28-2012, 08:50 PM

Frenchy watches a fat fastball right over the middle at thigh height for strike three.

stonedstooge · 08-28-2012, 08:58 PM

I think what pisses me off the most about Francouer is even though his season has been total shit, I don't think he has made a single adjustment in his swing. It's always that big, long homerun swing every ****ing time he's at bat. Surely Seitzer has tried to get him to cut down on his swing and try to poke some balls to right field. Apparently he can't or won't try to adjust his swing

**petegz28** · 08-28-2012, 09:03 PM

And Stanzi-Crow blows the lead

Al Bundy · 08-28-2012, 09:04 PM

Well, since the Royaltards have put the bats away the Tigers have completed the comeback to tie it.

Chief_in_Commander · 08-28-2012, 09:04 PM

Terrible pitch, it couldn't of been more in the middle and hanging
