You're too late http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif If you had pulled this before Brewerjamie did his "brewerfan.net will be shut down" prank, it might have worked.

 

Also, Bill Hall might be more believable than Bill Hill...

[Fatter than Joey]

Awesome

 

Bill Hill was starting to piss me off...

[And That]

I can't believe we gave up Hill for Zimmerman. I was a staunch Bill Hill supporter.

[Fatter than Joey]

Yeah -- I remember when Bill Hill occupied 32 spots on your Power 50

[zzzmanwitz]

Zimmerman is pretty gritty. We need him on this team!

[jazzytrav]

Oh yeah, with Yost as the helm and his grit freedom unleashed, Zimmerman would lead the league in GBAs.

Everyone told me it was safe to buy that Bill Hill jersey! Thanks a lot guys!

Next year, I'll celebrate April Fools Day by going all 'bull in a china shop' with the board settings and random bannings. Sure, it'll cause all kinds of problems and take weeks to clear up, but damn if we won't be able to all look back on it together and laugh.

[RyDogg66]

I wish we hadnt given up on Hill so soon. Yeah, he might be on the wrong side of 130, but I think he has a few good years left in him.

[jazzytrav]

Wow, he never could recover from the 28-loss rookie campaign.

[BrewCrewForever]

As soon as I say the title of this thread I knew it was a April's Fool joke.

I'm not clear -- Next year on April 1st, you are proposing to clumsily administer the forum, under the assumption that we will be able to discern a difference?

 

Sure, it'll cause all kinds of problems and take weeks to clear up

 

If it would take weeks to clear up, perhaps it could be off-shored.

 

but damn if we won't be able to all look back on it together and laugh.

 

You are going to have to be much more creative to top Bill Hill.

[Gobias Industries]

Last year when I was just a lurker here someone had Jenkins (I think) and some other players going to the Nats for Chad Cordero. I fell for that one but not this year.

[And That]

Quick, get one before they're gone!

I'd buy one if it said "Bill Hill" on the back

[And That]

So next year it will be called "Wednesday?"

For some reason, I'm recalling a Mythbusters episode where they set up a "China shop" in a fenced in area and let some bulls run wild. Surprisingly they were very nimble and didn't knock anything down for a few minutes. They just kept taking perfect corners.

[bullox]

Quick, get one before they're gone!

That's my last name and my old high school football number. I might actually buy that. Nah.

 

[hawing]

I can hear the Nats fans now:

 

Bill (clap-clap-clap-clap) Hill (clap-clap-clap-clap)

 

Eight letters, four Ls, two Is.

 

O, Bill Hill, we hardly knew ye. Truly, he was our WOAH SOLVDD.

[mothershipconnection]

"Bill" is actually what Tyrone goes by now, we somehow have held his rights all these years through some odd loophole in the CBA's.

[RightFieldCoder]

I still say it was a bad move to take Bill Hill off the mound and turn him into a DH. He's much more valuable as a pitcher. We should have moved Richie Months to DH.

[ClosetBrewerFan]

I'm fine with the trade. I don't have the stats at my fingertips to prove it, but I watched every game last year and I don't recall Bill Hill ever getting a big hit to help us win. He never made a great defensive play. He was not a good influence in the clubhouse because he is not gritty nor is he a battler.

 

Bill Hill is un-clutch. Good riddance!
