ATLANTA (AP)—If this was the pregame interview, what could Dusty Baker possibly have said after the Cincinnati Reds lost again Sunday?

Baker unleashed his verbal wrath before the Reds faced the Braves in Atlanta, after having been asked a humorous question about minor-leaguer Jay Bruce's recent performance and his chance at cracking the Reds' lineup.

That apparently was all it took. Baker's profanity-laden stream of consciousness touched on Reds fans, Bengals fans, Cincinnati media and bloggers, former manager Lou Piniella, and himself.

"Right now everyone in Cincinnati is making lineups -- 'Call up this guy, call up that guy.' . . . If we had 50 people allowed on the roster, we could do that. That's what ticks me off about Cincinnati fans and Cincinnati bloggers: They forget pretty quickly. A couple of weeks ago we were the [bleeping] best [stuff] in town. Now we're [bleep]," Baker said to the aforementioned Reds media before the game.

Baker observed that Cincinnati still loved the Reds, even though they have not won a World Series since 1990, but the Bengals -- winners of nothing for 20 years -- receive unqualified fan support year after year while Reds fans piss, moan and complain after every game, every inning and every pitch.

"This franchise has a history like no one but the New York Yankees can match, and we're horse[bleep]," Baker said. "The Bengals haven't won in [20] years, and they're the [bleeping] best. [Bleep] it, we're good. [Bleep] everybody. We're horse[bleep], and we're going to be horse[bleep] the rest of our lives, no matter what.

"We are the [bleep] of Cincinnati. We're the Cincinnati [bleep]. We have the worst owner [Bob Castellini]. The guy's owned the team two [bleeping] years, trying to clean up this mess, and he's the [bleeping] horse[bleep] owner. Everyone thinks Marge Schott still owns the team. That’s how [bleeping] stupid some of these [bleeping] people are on the blogs."

Baker brought up Piniella, the former Reds manager and current Cubs skipper who blew his gasket in a clubhouse fight with pitcher Rob Dibble over their manhood. A Reds fan’s blog article said Baker should be fired a month into a three-year, $10.5 million contract because he didn’t show the fire and intensity necessary to win the notoriously hard-scrabble Reds fans.

"How about that article celebrating that Lou Piniella bull[bleep]? How many times do I curse people out? I will make a lot of money with my [stuff]. I have to keep going because in the future Dusty will need money, and I can say, 'Here, give me money, here's the 10-year anniversary of my time I called [Paul] Daugherty stuff and the time I went on the radio and cursed out Lance McAllister,' " Baker said.

The McAllister incident Baker referred to is when he called in to McAllister's Cincinnati radio show and the two got into a spat (with Baker providing most of the profanity) over lineups. And Baker lashed out at Daugherty -- a columnist with the Cincinnati Enquirer and talkshow host of powerful WLW radio -- and referred to Daugherty as a “preppy, button-downed, snarky-[bleeped] dweeb.”

The Reds had been in contention in the weak NL Central the first two weeks of the season, but are on a five-game losing streak and now tied for the worst record in baseball.

"People are panicking," Baker said. "Did we play a real bad week? Yes, we did, we stunk. But it wasn't too long ago that we were 'the biggest surprise in baseball, wow, look at the Reds.' Now we’re the horse’s [ass] and there’s still 130 games to be played. Stupid [bleeps].”

Editor's note: Psych! This piece is a direct rip-off parody from White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen's latest tirade against Chicago fans and media, but somehow seems to identically fit the atmosphere around Cincinnati these days. A few names were changed to embellish the incident. If you did not read this far to see the disclaimer, you are a [bleeping] lazy-[bleeped] [bleep-bleeper].
