Game Thread #15: Going for the Sweep (again...)

It's Jeff Suppan versus Zach Duke at 12:05 this afternoon, and once again, Ned sends out a pretty solid lineup against the lefty:

• Weeks, 2B
• Hardy, SS
• Fielder, 1B
• Hall, CF
• Mench, LF
• Hart, RF
• Miller, C
• Graffanino, 3B

I'm impressed: he's sat both Jenkins and Counsell for two days straight, something I didn't think he'd manage to do.  I'm afraid, though, that the reckoning will come this weekend, when Craig and Geoff catch up, and Gwynn will get a start or two rewarding him for his bunting prowess.  (Which is pretty cool, but not start-worthy.)

A few things to read before, during, or after the game:

• ESK saves me some time, linking to a couple of things I was going to point out.
• Marc Normandin profiles the other half of the Menchkins platoon.
• Chad Moeller was DFA'd: the Reds decided they didn't need three catchers, which I could've told them before the season even started.
• This Yard Work article is really funny.
