When asked about what happened to John Mabry (who was pummelled by Brian Anderson)during the White Sox-Cubs brawl, Ryan Dempster continued his complaining. Dempster said "yeah, I don't really know what happened. I don't know why they decided to gang-tackle Mabry. Brian Anderson thought it was a melee. So 'let's just start a fight with whoever's next to me.' All 'Mabes' is trying to do is break that up and get [Michael] Barrett out of there and the next thing you know he's getting gang-tackled."
Apparently Demspter is under the impression that when a player on his own team sucker-punches a player on an opposing team, there's not supposed to be any retaliation. I think it's a good thing the the Sox did fight back. Barrett now knows that punching someone could result in one of his teammates being injured in a retaliatory action. Maybe Michael Barrett will think twice next time before he acts like the punk he is and flies off the handle.
