Andruw Jones: Still Failing

The downward trajectory that is Andruw Jones (since his glory days) is truly a site to behold.  It started in Los Angeles (read here) and continued through his tour of duty with the Rangers (hey, above the Mendoza line again) and the White Sox (helping them blow it down the stretch against the Twins.)  Finally, he went to where all-stars go to die: the Yankees, and played like his career was over in 2012.  That's that for Andruw, and we can forget about him and his name spelling, and move on with life.

Then we read this headline:

More details emerge on Andruw Jones' domestic assault arrest

Uh oh. Seems that Andruw was arrested on Christmas morning, as good people are, due to some sort of an argument with his wife. Atlanta Journal-Constitution, take it:

[His wife] pulled away and attempted to go upstairs, according to the report, but Jones grabbed her by the ankle, pulled her down and put his hands around her neck and said, "I want to kill you, I want to [expletive] kill you."

What a guy, folks.  The end of the article is even more bizare:

Although the police report notes that Jones's wife suffered "visible injuries," Jones is free on $2,400 bail.

So, in Georgia, you can threaten to kill someone...the person you threaten to kill suffers "visible injuries" from you, and you're out on $2,400.  Sounds fair.

We can only wonder if Andruw will make it to Japan to play next year, but in the meantime, let's help him get used to a new Japanese translation:

失敗 

I think I got off on the wrong floor again

Because....

Didn't Hrbie cap Laudner a few years back too?  Was Dan Plesac involved?  Please tell me Greg Brock is OK.  What about Tommy Trebelhorn?  Still rocking that mullet?

So many questions here.  I sure hope Rob Deer wasn't out in the woods with them... sorry, that was an easy one.

That seems about right
