That was Junis

Your right but Megill did have 4 days off. I heard them say he was well rested.

I predicted Megill as the closer once Devin went down in ST. Took a good month, but at least it seems we're there now. 

I remember liking the idea of keeping everyone in their previous roles, and the guy who would have to step up to allow that to happen would be Uribe, and if not him then Megill. So I half predicted it.😛

Bullpen is in disarray right now. Can't get to best guys because of workload and management. It's rough. 

I think 'disarray' might be a little too strong, but you're right about the workload & people not spending enough time in their designed roles.

I think they miss Wilson in the pen more than many realize. He was terrific in that role last year. Of course they don't have much choice at this time.

I sure hope they can pick up someone decent before the trade deadline.

Imagine a backend bullpen of Misiorowski, Megill and Williams in September. Could be dominant if Misiorowski learns some control by then.

Except you were exactly right. They tried Uribe, just didn't work out. So you nailed it.

They will. It's one of the weaker divisions in baseball right now.

I seriously doubt it.

Their pitching stinks. 

And yes, I know what they've done so far.  Gonna be some serious regression.

I have to fight my instincts to stay positive. I've been so beat down over the years being a packer and badger fan and expecting the worst at the worst time.

You should've grown up in the 80s.

The last 30 years have been pretty great though as a Packers/Badgers fan.  I think you're still scarred from your childhood.
