so is it totally wrong to review a memorial service?
ok, i guess i'm not really reviewing it. i'm commenting on it. so i guess that's allowed.
•but don't get me wrong. my cuddyer was wonderful. it's just the difference of he read his speech and his was more serious, whereas torii was smiling at the camera the whole time he spoke.
•paul molitor was the best speaker. and he mentioned JESUS, so extra points there.
•rod carew was the most moving speaker. it's hard not to be touched when a man gets choked up.
•torii hunter was the cutest speaker. i miss his smile.•but don't get me wrong. my cuddyer was wonderful. it's just the difference of he read his speech and his was more serious, whereas torii was smiling at the camera the whole time he spoke.

•jim thome going up to the 520 mark at target field with a killebrew game-worn jersey to show how long killebrew's hugest homerun at met stadium was could've been cheesy, but it wasn't. it was a creative and fitting way to honor him.
•whoever the guys were who sang at the end were horrible.
•mudcat grant on the other hand...seriously, even you girls who aren't baseball fans should hear this. mr. mudcat, sir, okay, so you had a 3.63 career ERA and 2442 innings pitched and 1267 strikeouts and you're in the hall of fame and all that, but are you sure you didn't miss your calling?

how come i don't have a cool name like mudcat?
He did sing beautifully, but I'm not sure I appreciated the cameraman zooming in on the people singing along with him. It wasn't a concert, it was a memorial service. I mean, people don't sing along with someone singing Amazing Grace at a normal memorial service... It's the little things that annoy me I suppose... :-D
no, i thought the same thing :)
