Dempster on Comcast sportsnite

Dempster looks terrible now. He's recanting his story like a little school boy b****. Comcast Sports Net ran his comments off The Score, then Guillen's response, then Dempster's extended rant. He's really going off now, suggesting he was "misquoted" and essentially blaming Mike North.

 

I don't have the exact words available, but North basically asks about Cora biting someone, to which Dempster replies it was one of the most "bush things he's ever seen." You could infer from those comments that he witnessed the act with his own eyes. Next sentence, Dempster says Cora's behind the white line for a reason; if he's going to get involved, he'll end up injured.

 

Dempster back peddled when interviewed about these comments. It's easy to say you were misquoted in print, or perhaps taken out of context with soundclips--but when something is played without interruption it's difficult to misinterpret.

Oh I agree he looked terrible Flash, and I don't think he was nearly as misquoted as he says he was. I think to an extent North and Dempster are at fault here, but for sure he'll never be on that show again and for sure Dempster wasn't as misquoted as he said he was.

This is what I thought happened. North got his stories confused about what DJ was saying happened in San Diego and what happened at the game during the fight, and asked Dempster about it who answered before he knew what he was talking about. Both of those guys are at fault here.

there is a hilarious thread on northsidebaseball where they all try and rip on Cora and Ozzie's kids, i found this quote to be the funniest

The White Sox are the most bush league organization I have ever seen. We now have:

 

A GM who openly calls players "***ing idiots"

 

A manager who can't get a point across without using at least 10 f-bombs

 

A catcher who is the 2nd most despised player in all of baseball

 

A third-base coach who bites people in fights

 

Fans who run out on the field and beat down 1st base umps/1st base coaches

 

Why does all of this get rewarded by the fates with championships?

 

The green ivy matches the green envy now, i love it

George Offman just basically took responsibility for the whole mess. He was on with Mike North this morning and Offman misquoted Dempster ... and the media supposedly picked it all up from the WSCR update desk.

 

Mitch Rosen is now involved, I think he's the Score's general manager, Offman is in some real hot water.

 

There will definitely be more to come on this story, and soon.

I hope someone saved the broadcast of it. Dempster looks like an ass.

 

 

I don't need to hear him to know he's an ass... but I don't think he was the pot stirrer on this one.

Offman should be fired, he did the same thing while he was the "beat reporter",and was replaced from that role.

Offman has made a lot of mistakes lately, he usually gets the early scoop but lately he's been creating more stories than he's reporting. This could be the end for him. At least he's owning up to it.

I heard the replay of North's interview, and he was being a typical ackass where he asks a question, then immediately makes another stupid comment, and the person makes an answer that sounds like it belongs to a different question.

 

North's original question was about Cora getting involved with the brawl, then before he gave Dempster a chance to answer right after he asked him for an answer, he added the comment of Cora biting someone which came from DJ. Dempster answered something to the effect of "yeah, that was one of the most bush things I have ever seen with him running out there failing his arms around."

To me it sounded like Dempster was answer the original question, but the nitwit scoreboard update guys at the Score made it sound like Dempster was confirming that Cora was biting someone. The Sun-Times and Tribune then took off with the ball.

 

North is a moron, and if Ofman really is responsible, his ass should be suspended for some time.
