Thoughts of Jake

It was one of those languid, warm summer mornings where you find yourself thinking lazy thoughts about pleasant things. Ron Cameron lay sprawled on his motel bed and thought about his latest man crush, Jake Rogers of the Detroit Tigers. How could he get Jake to fulfill Ron's greatest wish for every athlete that Ron admired—a restaurant meal and a sleepover?

Ron looked at the Tigers' schedule and saw that a homestand in August would include a Thursday afternoon game followed by a Friday night game. That would be the perfect time.

The Big Day arrived, and Ron picked up Jake at Comerica Park, after throwing out the fast food wrappers, newspapers, and sports magazines that had accumulated in the front passenger seat of his 2009 Ford Focus. They hopped on 75 and headed up to the Fenton Hotel for a sumptuous dinner. On the way up, Ron told Jake about the restaurants that he almost bought in the different cities that they passed through.

At dinner, Ron told Jake about the other athletes who owed their career to Ron's special interest in them, like Tim McCormick and Howard Johnson. Ron choked back the tears as he described that terrible day when Cory Lidle crashed his helicopter into the United Nations building in New York City. Ron jokingly offered to buy Jake a dessert if he shaved off that stupid mustache.

After dinner, they drove back to Ron's Motel 6, where Ron had arranged for a fold up cot for Jake to use for sleeping, so that Jake wouldn't get the wrong idea about Ron's intentions. They spent a fun evening switching the television back and forth between Match Game and a re-broadcast of that day's Tigers game. Jake laughed at the way Ron yelled at the television screen every time an umpire's call was challenged and every time Matt Shepard asked Kirk Gibson or Jack Morris a simple question about baseball.

The next morning, they drove over to the Ram's Horn in Southfield for breakfast. Ron gave Jake advice about how to get on the good side of umpires by never questioning their calls and by not trying to fool umpires by framing pitches. Jake had to take a quick bite of a pancake to avoid telling Ron that those were normal parts of a catcher's game.

Next on the agenda was a visit to the WPON studios, where Jake was interviewed on Ron's Friday morning show. Kurt from Fraser created some awkward moments when he started touting Dillon Dingler as the Tigers catcher of the future. Jake was a little tired from Ron's unique ability to channel emotional energy into physical energy, so Jake crashed for awhile in the WPON green room, surrounded by signed pictures of celebrities like Vic Damone, Little Richard, and Theresa Brewer. After the radio show, Ron and Jake raced over to Loui's Pizza for a quick carryout lunch.

After Ron dropped Jake off at his hotel in downtown Detroit, Ron started fantasizing about how to exploit his time with Jake, especially those visits to the restaurants that helped sponsor Ron's radio show. Ron thought about the unsolicited advice that he gave Jake and knew that he could find a way to take credit for any of Jake's future accomplishments.

That evening, Ron turned on the Tigers game and learned that Jake Rogers had been put on the 10-day disabled list for some kind of gastrointestinal disorder.

LMAO!!!!!!

Another great post from Bobbert, who devotes more creative energy to Ron’s show than does Ron himself! Would, though, that Ron could find room in his heart for Jake Rogers after his most grievous loss of Cory (“Ron who?”) Lidle.

Creative. Ron being the President of the Jake Rogers fan club, it probably went down like that.

With the Bo Schembechler and Michigan controversy I wonder if Martin is busy lining up.guests regarding this matter for tomorrows show.Silly me.I doubt if Martin even knows who Bo is. Most likely no guests .

[Momo]

Again, Ron’s new favorite hobbyhorse, Bo’s alleged role in covering-up the sexual abuse of the team doctor, has absolutely nothing to do with any sensitivity to the victims & everything to do with his pre-existing beef with Bo.

After hearing Rich Kincaide’s voice again last week, my memory was refreshed & I realized it was Rich, not George Eichorn, who called out Ron for saying that Jerry Sandusky’s victims “were laughing all the way to the bank.”

[Momo]

Geezers at Caesar’s. Never gets old.

[Momo]

Per her Wikipedia page, Jackie Kallen is 75.

[Momo]

Only Ron can mention other stations, Mr. Positive.

[Momo]

Of course, Ron would never ask Mr. Positive why John Gross interviewed him, instead immediately talking about all those who interviewed him.

[Momo]

Sonny, Gordie, they all remembered Ron, & Ron only, no matter the state of their dementedness.

[Momo]

If Ron is conceding that someone was not a “friend,” you know they never even spoke. Otherwise, they’d be a “friend.”

[Mr.Transistor]

Ron does not want to intermingle with the "fans". Too good to hang with caller Keith from Oak Park and his wife.
