Royals 2012 Kansas City Royals Repository Thread - Page 419

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:

No shit. The entire organization is a gap.

The Royals have reportedly banned fraternizing with the enemy. Clearly that will end two decades of futility: cbsprt.co/RoyalEnemy

WTF?

This is stupid on the level of Pioli's candy wrapper shit.

WHY DO MY FAVORITE TEAMS HAVE TO BE MANAGED BY INCOMPETENT ****ING ASSHOLES?

Are they still allowed to talk to negative WAR players on their own team?

Fever got his wish granted. He is the one continually bitching about the Royals talking to the opposition when they are on base, which is usually ****ing every mother****ing inning. ****

Royals are 12th in the AL in runs scored, 11th in runs allowed, but yes, Rex, fraternizing on the basepaths is clearly their biggest issue.

keithlaw ‏@keithlaw

Frankly, I'm surprised the Royals have enough baserunners for fraternizing to be a problem.

If not, it'd be a really quiet dugout.

Suck my dick, troll.

stonedstooge · 07-30-2012, 05:12 PM

If they thought this was a problem, maybe NED could tell them to cool it. Why go public with something that should be handled in house?

Keith Law has no idea what is going on. This has nothing to do when the Royals are on base. Idiot.

I always hated that shit.

I noticed it before Ryan said anything and it irritated me too. I understand when a guy walks or gets a basehit that hasn't yet affected the game much. But when you are in a tie game and someone hits a bases clearling double to take a three run lead you don't need to be out there laughing having a grand old time with that guy.
