Editor's note: A combination of a late night and technical difficulties meant I got a late start on the Mug this morning. It'll be up sometime this afternoon. Here's something to discuss in the meantime. - KL
This week's poll was open from noon Monday through the day Tuesday, and received 268 responses. Here are some of the notable results:

- 79% of voters, though, think John Axford should continue to be the closer.
- The Brewer coaching staff has seen their confidence drop considerably over the last two weeks. Rick Kranitz's approval rating has gone from 86% to 61%, and Dale Sveum's has gone from 71% to 59%.
