Bakers PR
Nashville -- In preparation for this weekend's opener with the Alamo Scouts, 12th Ave. Bakers fans began pouring into the Cherry Bomb Cafe and the surrounding city blocks on Wednesday to show support for a team they expect to make run deep into the playoffs this year.
"We've already been disrespected by the press," said Bakers head coach Snoop Dogg, who was on hand for the traditional Busting of the Cherry that traditionally kicks off the season for the hopeful each year. No one was injured at this year's event. "Methlon Publications obviously cow-towed to the ham-handed tactics of the Beelzebubbas' organization in recalling the preseason magazines. This has their pawprints all over it, and if the Animals' ownership is so out of it to allow themselves to be manipulated by what is patently known as a rogue organization — well we certainly don't have to worry about them putting a competitive team on the field.
"One down, six to go."
It should be noted that this year's celebration is being resided over by Cherry Buster Queen Lady 2Curl, who will be on hand as an honorary captain for the coin toss. Bakers' owner QCurl Sharif will not attend pre-game festivities this year, but will arrive in Nashville prior to the opener, following an extended rehab stint in Bordeaux. This marks his third straight pre-season rehab stay, and coach Dogg elaborated.
"That's in North Nashville, not France," said Dogg. "My kind of wine country. I'm not saying the man ain't clean, but most people go there to get shot."
