"NIGGER BULLSHIT"

OAKLAND -- A noticeably intoxicated Maty McNeil slammed his team for it's "nigger bullshit half-ass play" in a post-game interview after a 7-0 shutout at the hands of the Anaheim Angels.  Barry Zito took his second loss in a row, surrendering a big 3-run shot from Troy Glaus that buried the A's early.

"Fuck every pregnancy, fuck every child soon to be born," the lusty-lunged McNeil said while ripping his phone from the land-line.  "Fuck every nigger, every white person, fuck every little kid learning to tie his shoes for the first time.  I am full of hate right now.  This game was fucking automatic: automatic fucking outs.  I am fucking tired of it.  Hit the fucking ball.  Curse the fucking day Washburn out-pitches Barry Zito.  A game like this makes me want to knock an old bitch's groceries out of her hands and watch them squashed in the streets.  Jesus nigger Christ, get these fucking microphones the fuck out of my face.  Fuck it. I hate the Angels, fuck you.  Burn in hell Nick Adenhart.  I'll take whatever fine MLB sees fit.  Fuck all the Jews in Los Angeles."
