Brandon Phillips interrupted Dusty Baker’s pre-game pow-wow with the media today by going on a curse-laden tirade in the direction of Reds’ beat writer C. Trent Rosecrans.

“Hey, Dusty. The (expletive) on the end, he worries about my on-base percentage. You tell him you’d have me bat eighth, he worried about my on-base percentage. The (expletive) over there. Make him happy, Dusty. The (expletive). You talking that negative (expletive) about our team, dog. I found out your Twitter name now, (expletive). It’s a wrap. Just so you (expletive) know. (Expletive).”
