Even Earl Weaver and Lee Elia would blush.

La Mirada High School (California) baseball coach Kim Brooks recently went off on his team after a loss.

And "went off" is an understatement.

Brooks ranted and raved while hurling expletive after expletive at his players — high school players — for nearly 18 minutes after they lost a game on April 26.

You can get a small taste of Brooks' NSFW tirade above, while Deadspin has the full audio.

Brooks, who has been put on paid leave by the school, tried to explain his actions to the Whittier Daily News.

"My language was inappropriate," he told the paper.

"I was trying to motivate my team after a very poor performance, and I apologize about the language."
