Oakland and Seattle are playing AGAIN? Seriously?

What the hell?
I made a post about them playing each other 162 times this year.

How far off can I be?
They've been playing for weeks now and save for 4 games, they have only seen each other.

I'm starting to think this is because nobody wants to play them!
That they have zero box office drawing power and they were pushed aside come scheduling.

They remind me of that couch during the Omega rush at the beginning of Animal House.

Remember when Pinto and Flounder were trying to mingle? Then Neidermayer and Greg would keep bringing them back to the couch.

"This is Clayton, Sidney, Jugdish, Mohammed..."

Should the Mariners and A's join them on the couch?

Why does Justin Verlander remind me of John Landis?

It's not like the current American League Cy Young front runner is a read ringer for the brilliant director of Kentucky Fried Movie, Animal House, The Blues Brothers, American Werewolf in London, Trading Places and Coming to America.

But there is something about Verlander that reminds me of Landis.

It could be a similar smile.

It could be they are both a little extroverted.

It could be they are both funny interviews.

I can't put my finger on it.

But I can't be the ONLY one who thinks this.

(Or maybe I am.)

Here's Landis talking about directing Robert DeNiro in his Don Rickles documentary.
