What ever you do, do not ask Cincinnati Reds manager Bryan Price about the absence of a catcher during any recent games.

Price took exception to reporters making it public that the Reds were missing Devin Mesoraco, launching an exasperated tirade in which he used some form of the word 'f*ck' 77 times, at one point seven times in just once sentence.

The full audio is now up online here:

You have to feel for Price a little bit. It's not the media's responsibility to keep team changes secret for the good of their local team, but it must be frustrating in the digital age to not be able to so much as shift a formation without someone tweeting about it.

The Cincinnati Enquirer, god love 'em, attempted to transcribe the rant, here's a key excerpt:

'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.'
