So ... what now?
Skid could mean minor tinkering or major shakeup

The Reds' losing streak was extended to seven games Wednesday night.

The St. Louis Cardinals completed a three-game series sweep of Cincinnati with a 7-3 victory before a crowd of 17,241 at Great American Ball Park.

The Reds are off today.

The question is: Would they dare come back with the exact same team Friday when they open a three-game stint at home against the Los Angeles Dodgers?

The Reds' brass met for 21/2 hours Wednesday. Afterward, general manager Dan O'Brien did not rule out changes to the roster.

"There's a possibility," he said.

Someone asked Reds manager Dave Miley after Wednesday's loss if anyone's spot on the roster was safe.

"Next question," Miley said.

Most of the roster spots are safe. Baseball's guaranteed contracts assure that.

But given the way the Reds have been playing (11 losses in 13 games) and drawing (only 49,714 for a three-game series against the defending National League champion and NL Central rival), you would think changes would be coming.

This front office is pathetic with their "saying nothing while saying something" approach.

Other than BP, no significant roster moves can be made (although I wouldnt oppose replacing Claussen and sticking him in the pen for the time being.) What they need to do is to slap Miley upside the head and fix the lineups.
