If you go to JSOnline right now, you will see the following announcement in three different spots on the front page: "Brewers designate Turnbow for assignment." If it weren't raining out right now, I would be on the rooftop shouting those words.
I read last night that GM Doug Melvin and manager Ned Yost had held a meeting to decide the fate of the often-disappointing reliever, and after his performance Wednesday night, this should be no surprise.
Turnbow came to the Brewers in 2005, saved 39 games, posted an ERA of 1.74, and promptly made Milwaukee fans forget about Dan Kolb. But lightning has yet to strike twice for Turnbow. In 2006, he saved only 24 games, lost 9, and had a 6.87 ERA. Last year he showed some improvement: 4.63 ERA and 84 strikeouts in 68 innings. But he has never shown the consistency he displayed as an All-Star in '05.
This year, his numbers were absolutely pitiful: 8 games, 6 1/3 innings, 11 ER, 12 hits, 13 BB, 5 Ks, 15.63 ERA, and an opponent's BA of .414.
To complete the roster move, the Brewers recalled utility fielder Joe Dillon.

Yo tore his ACL. Sheets is fragile. Suppan is now our ace. Time to make a trade.
