RELATED: An updated list of the 10 best manager meltdowns ever.
Cincinnati Reds manager Bryan Price went off on the media Monday afternoon in a spectacular f-bomb tirade that lasted over five minutes. Price’s issue appears to be the media questioning the absence of catcher Devin Mesoraco, who was not with the team for Sunday night’s game.
In all, Price said the word ‘f*ck’ or some form of it 77 times. Truly an impressive feat. At one point he used the word seven times in one sentence, which has to be some kind of record.
The Cincinnati Enquirer transcribed the rant as best they could with a series of asterisks. You can find the censored audio at the top of the page.
Ah, f***. I’m just, I’m f****** p****** up a rope in this f****** business. Because everyone has to know everything all the f****** time. That’s not my f****** obligation, it’s not their obligation. You know why f****** Billy Hamilton didn’t f****** play? The other day? Because his f****** finger’s hurt and he couldn’t hit right-handed comfortably. Right? So that’s something that I need to know and no one else needs to know. No one else needs to f****** know it, and all of a sudden it’s out there. His f****** fingers are sore. It doesn’t benefit us. It wasn’t from you, but it doesn’t benefit us one bit to f****** announce to the f****** other teams that we’re playing to bring in lefties when they need to f****** get Billy out. There’s no benefit. So, I’m f******, to be honest with you, I’m f****** sick of this s***. I’m sick of listening to this f****** s***, I’m sick of f****** the f****** second-guessing b*******, you guys can do whatever the f*** you want, but I’ll tell you this — I’m not going to f****** tell you everything about this f****** club, because you f****** guys are going to out there and sniff it out anyway. I don’t f****** like it one f****** bit. I bend over backwards to be honest and direct with you f****** guys and you stick it right up my f****** a** — and the f****** team’s a**. And I’m sick of it. What do you got? If you don’t got anything, get out and I’ll do this f****** interview with Marty. You don’t have anything? Just get out, please.
