Johnny Cueto doing the shimmy during his delivery was cute and all when he first started getting attention for it.  Now it's just annoying and it must be stopped.

Cueto took his shimmy to new heights last night on strike three to Nelson Cruz.

Oh and I feel like I need to point this out while I'm mentioning the Mariners, they're 74-79 and in 4th place in the AL West hahahahahaha!  All these idiots talking about how good they are before the season and they went out there and shit.

Now back to the shimmy.  Knock it off, it's novelty has worn off.

Nelson Cruz signed a 4 year deal with the Seattle Mariners.  Cruz, who was suspended for steroid use at the end of the 2013 season, led the league in home runs with 40 in his one season with the Orioles last year.

#Mariners lineup just got way better with the Nelson Cruz signing at 4yrs and $57m putting him between Cano & Seager L/R/L will help all 3

Looks like the Mariners are boosting their lineup following a 2014 season that lacked power and much of anything around Robinson Cano.

Word has come out, via an excerpt from a book called- Blood Sport: Alex Rodriguez, Biogenesis and the Quest to End Baseball's Steroid Era (that has also been posted on SI.com), that the MLB granted Alex Rodriguez a medical exception for testosterone proir to the 2007 season.

Before the 2007 season, Rodriguez asked for permission to use testosterone, which has been banned by baseball since 2003. The IPA in '07 was Bryan W. Smith, a High Point, N.C., physician. (Baseball did not yet have the advisory medical panel.) On Feb. 16, 2007, two days before Rodriguez reported to spring training, Smith granted the exemption, allowing Rodriguez to use testosterone all season.

Nelson Cruz hit his league best 21st home run in his return to Texas.  Cruz has 21 home runs in 55 games this season, he hit 27 in 109 games last season.  A season that was shortened for him because of a PED suspension.  When are people going to start asking how he is doing this?

Anybody who is suspended for PED's and comes back and somehow plays even better needs to be fully evaluated.  Could you imagine all the shit that would be spewed if this was A Rod doing this not Cruz?  Where are those same critics?

I for one am very skeptical of his power!

Normally you might buy the "it slipped" excuse that Justin Verlander gave following a pitch that went behind Nelson Cruz.  But the umpire sure didn't, immediately warning Verlander.  Given the fact that his teammate Torii Hunter was drilled by Bud Norris on Monday, his excuse doesn't hold up.  Cruz gave the old dick grab to Verlander and no words were exchanged between the two.

Hey Ryan Braun this is how it is done!  Nelson Cruz holds a press conference to apologize for PED use and suspension.
