Not that Willis hasn't pitched pretty well at Class AAA this year, but I'm still happy to see the Pirates face him tonight.

A couple bits of news, which you've probably already gathered if you've been surfing through the FanPosts and FanShots:

-P- Jeff Karstens is the National League Player of the Week.

-P- The Pirates and Braves will supposedly be on ESPN on Monday.

I'm here at PNC with Vlad; Tim and Matt from Pirates Prospects; Tom from Rum Bunter; and Brian from Raise The Jolly Roger. We spoke to Frank Coonelly, Neal Huntington and Jeff Karstens earlier today. More on that later.
