Ron Cameron

[Momo]

The first part of Ron's show on Friday made a big impression on me. There was a mixture of despair and disgust that I'd never heard before. Very dark.

It reminded me of the title of a book that H.G Wells wrote near the end of his life:

Which brought to mind then-Vice President Dan Quayle's address to the United Negro College Fund, whose motto is "a mind is a terrible thing to waste." "[W]hat a waste it is to lose one's mind," he said. "Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is."

A bit off topic here, I have a picture I would like to insert that I think would get Ron’s approval, but can’t figure out how to insert a picture, could I get the cliff notes version?

Thanks

I've had the same frustration as radiofan1974.

On the all-request Mr. Positive line, Mr. Positive, could you please ask Ron if Combrero is the most popular Tiger of all time & if his appointment spells the end of Lance Parrish's official role with the team?

I don't think there's a way to directly insert a picture into a post. I've been able to insert graphics by using the images folder of a website that I created.

Somewhere on the Buzzboard, someone talked about setting up a cloud directory to use for image insertions, but I'm not sure how that works.

At this church that I once attended, a minister retired. He said he could "feel the ice starting to crack." With Ron, I think the ice has cracked and he's up to at least his waist in water.

I think one of the reasons we keep listening to Ron is to be there at the very end.

If Ron is unhappy today, he only has himself to blame. It is the last day of Miguel Cabrera's excessively long and very expensive contract with the Tigers. For Ron (and I admit, myself), it should be a day of great celebration.

Lance Parrish and Scott Harris might have finally met yesterday. Both participated in the pre-game ceremony for Combero. That should make Ron happy.

Cabrera’s family was seated in the front row, including his mother and father, who threw out the ceremonial first pitch, with their son doing the catching.

"We've been celebrating Miggy for six months and it's been worth it and fun," Hinch said. "Tram was in the house. Jim was in the house. Lance (Parrish) and Willie (Horton). All that stuff is very meaningful to the Tigers, to our fans, to our players, to me and especially to Miggy."

Tigers president Scott Harris was also on the dais and helped present the gifts, which were incredible.

Also ask Ron if this is one of the happiest days of his life, because Miguel Cabrera is retiring. Thanks.

With surgery in the offing, I wonder who Ron's emergency contact is. Greg? Donner? Blitzen?

Well if anyone has access to Twitter, Mr colengelo has a very welcoming tweet welcoming combero to the special advisor club

Thanks. I left a comment: "Ron Cameron needs access to the Detroit Tigers press room."

You're a brave man, Bobbert.

I'm hearing a strange mixture of Indian pop and American oldies music.

It appears Ron is not factoring construction with no one working and all
