Who is likely to take over as closer after Eric Gagne blew another one today?

Rotoworld.com reports:

After taking the loss on Saturday, Eric Gagne said he didn't think he should still be the Brewers' closer.
"I don’t deserve that ninth inning right now. It’s pretty simple," Gagne said. Manager Ned Yost, as wishy-washy as usual, wasn't willing to comment on Gagne's status after the game. Gagne has blown five saves, but he didn't add to that total today after giving up two runs in a tie game. Guillermo Mota would appear to be the best bet for saves if Gagne is pulled from the closer's role, though it's possible he'd be used in a committee with Salomon Torres and Brian Shouse. David Riske is also pitching better lately.

In other words: "Dunno."

Can only think it would be closer by committee...Torres possibly has and edge over the bunch, but the Brewers have a lot invested in Gagne, hence the long leash.  What would they do?  Have him blow games in the 8th inning instead of the 9th? 

I just got lucky...dropped him without hesitation after someone dropped Matt Capps in one league.
