     I put the "?" after the "headline for this blog; because, Derrick Turnbow has a terrific arm-and good stuff.

     But after watching him load the bases full on Sunday against Florida-without getting an out-and then getting embarrassed in Wednesday night's 19-5 loss to the Cubs at Wrigley-it may be time for a change of address.

     What did the legendary Yogi Berra say?

     Ninety-Five percent of baseball is fifty percent mental?

     You get my drift.

     IT'S IN HIS HEAD!

     The fans booing Turnbow at Miller Park has gotten to him; now, he seems to have totally lost any self-confidence!

     Derrick Turnbow's a talented pitcher and a good guy-one of my favorites.

     But for his sake and the Brewers, it's time to cut ties.

     The Crew would be better with Dave Bush back on the roster.

     (He pitched well in a minor league outing at Nashville the other night)

     You hope you can get some value for Turnbow and his fairly hefty salary.

     Either way, he's gotta go, and I say that reluctantly.

They're cheering for him in Chicago.

I agree, I attended the game on Sunday against Florida. It was painful to watch D-bow and to hear the chorus of boos. Despite the fans reaction towards D-bow, opponents batted under .200 against him all last year. This year, different story. I agree, he has a tremendous confidence problem. He had no problem getting his first save against Philly, so I think the home crowd is getting to him. I also agree, the Brew Crew would be better with Bush in the bullpen.
