Editor’s Note: Gaylon is working on a project and most elements of The Daily Dose – Leading Off, The Sunday Bottom 5, On This Date, Some Philosophy Crap, Trivia – are either on hiatus or running intermittently. Your full-service Daily Dose will return, probably later this spring, though perhaps in the summer.
The Sunday Bottom 5
A ranking of some things.
1. Pittsburgh Pirates – Calliope put up over home stadium following fielder chasing runner back to home plate and batter missing first base, nullifying home run…Rumors continue to persist manager keeping job only because of stockpile of comprising pics of front office staff.
2. More Baseball Crap – MLB announces umpires actually going to be required to enforce entire rule book, as pitchers will now be checked for illegal substances, a problem partially blamed for current historically low batting averages…Look, people, you can’t decide which rules you are going to enforce and when you are going to enforce them…Both record book and paying customers entitled to better.
3. Lauren Daigle – She’s back!!!…Single You Say returns to #1 on Billboard’s Hot Christian Singles chart for Billboard all-chart record 130th non-consecutive week…It’s eighth time the song has moved into the #1 spot, which Sunday Bottom 5 pollsters are “pretty sure” is another all-chart record…Still-envious Morman Tabernacle Choir redoubling efforts to have similar success with disco version of Nicene Creed now set for late-summer release.
4. NCAA & Congress: A Love Story – Collegiate sport governing body desperate to get help from Congress as pesky athletes now demanding opportunity to cash in on billions of dollars their free labor makes for major division college athletics…This despite fact Congress has no more business getting involved in this than the Vatican does.
5. Donald Trump Supporters – Former president and GOP leader remains a lying sexual predator who believes the moon is part of Mars…And that the Revolution was won by the securing of British airports…Sunday Bottom 5 pollsters still asking Trump supporters which of these elements continues to solidify your support???
