By me, of course. Not Andruw Jones. Nothing he did this season would bring to mind the word “blast” — at least not used in its slugging context.

My, oh, my, what a dog. What a barking hound.

What a self-inflicted wound the Dodgers dealt themselves, when they signed this grinning, useless, delusional and scandalously out-of-shape pooch.

A commitment of $36.2 million over two year. Well, yeah, that’s awful. But, ultimately, that’s just about money. Your money, yes (as funneled through Frank McCourt’s grasping hands) … but it’s just money, and the Dodgers always will have some money to waste.

The biggest problem with Andruw Jones was his significant contribution to the Dodgers almost not winning the weakest division in baseball and reaching the postseason.

The Dodgers thought they had signed a difference-making slugger. They got a difference-making slug.

He’s been out of the lineup so long now, the damage he did is almost forgotten. But this is a guy who was in the middle of the Dodgers lineup for the first seven weeks of the season, when the Dodgers nearly let the Arizona Diamondbacks get out of sight atop the National League West.

When ‘Druw finally came out of the lineup, after a loss on May 18, the Dodgers were 22-21 and the D-Backs were 28-16 — leaving the Dogs 5 1/2 games back.

The Dodgers were muddling around at .500 because Jones not only wasn’t producing the way the Dodgers thought he would, he was almost inarguably the worst every-day player in the majors. He wasn’t just “not helping” he was actively dragging the Dodgers down with his minuscule batting average and lack of power.

Luckily, Jones and the Dodgers decided he had a bad knee. Yeah, that’s the story. A bad knee. Wouldn’t want to 1) hurt his pride by parking a stiff or 2) admit that Ned Colletti committed that much money to a guy who can’t play.

The Dodgers put Jones on the 60-day disabled list Saturday, meaning he’s finally done messing with their 2008 season. He can’t hurt this team anymore. He won’t be coming back. Not for the final two weeks, certainly not for the playoffs.

And his final line:

33 hits in 209 at-bats (a .158 batting average), eight doubles, a triple, three home runs, 21 runs, 14 RBI, 27 walks, 76 strikeouts (36 percent of all at-bats), one caught-stealing and a please-open-a-window on-base percentage of .256 and “slugging” percentage of .249.

How bad is that? This bad: The Dodgers would have been far better off using any number of major league pitchers in their batting order, instead of AJ. For one, Micah Owings of the D-Backs, who in 113 career at-bats (barely half ‘Druw’s total this season) has 10 doubles, a triple, five homers, 16 runs and 19 RBI.

To be fair, we should concede that Jones was a decent center fielder. Better than anyone else the Dodgers have run out this year, aside, perhaps, from Jason Repko, here at the end.

But overall, he not only was not helping the Dodgers win … he most certainly was contributing to a feeble offense and a lack of scoring — in a season when the National League West was there for the taking.

It is no coincidence, as far as I am concerned, that the Dodgers’ division-winning 15-2 run occurred when he disappeared out of the lineup for the last time. His only appearance in that stretch? An 0-for-4 last week in a game the Dodgers won 6-2, in spite of him.

This guy had a memorably bad season. He almost wrecked a team that should have been a lock for the playoffs. And that’s hard for any single player to do. But Andruw gave it a go because he showed up out of shape, he never got it going at any point in time and the Dodgers were too embarrassed to admit they had a huge mistake on their hands that ought to be on the bench — or better yet, on the disabled list. That they allowed him to have 209 at-bats is something that ought to leave the Dodgers red-faced.

The sad part of this? They almost certainly will allow him to “win back” his job next season.

Let’s just hope the Dodgers don’t give him seven full weeks of playing nearly every day, in 2009, before they pull the plug.
