mets reliever proves he's healthy enough to be thrown in jail

Mets reliever Ambiorix Burgos was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend. The 24 year old pitcher, who has missed most of the season after undergoing elbow surgery, reportedly threw his girlfriend to the ground. Good to see the elbow is healed. His girlfriend was treated at a local hospital and released.

Burgos appeared in court on Tuesday but did not enter a plea (like guilty of being a complete douche) and was released. If convicted, he could face up to a year in jail.

The Mets said they were “disturbed by the allegations” and added that Burgos was “in town for reasons unrelated to the team.” Good call keep you distance from the alleged lady beater.

Watch out Ambiorix, because the popo are on your tail!
