Monarchs Take Page From Gallo's Playbook

After a devastating week 6 loss, the first in team history, the mighty Monarchs spent the week soul searching and trying to figure out just what went wrong in a loss to the first place Genuine Draughts. Inevitably the answer was D.J. Robinson. So with the loss fresh in their minds the Monarchs were geared up and ready to go.

Facing losses from the line-up of captain Travis Bouchard and Bradley "Priscilla" Dingle to the Physically Unwilling To Perform list the team had it sights on the Screwballs and a big victory in order to exercise a few demons and launch themselves into the playoffs. Word from the clubhouse is that team captain Travis Bouchard and utility player Bradley "Bud the Spud" Dingle elected to play for the Monarchs hockey affiliate for conditioning. The two were reportedly crushed by the loss and decided that it hurt to bad to come back to the diamond so soon.

The rest of the team in Rocky Balboa montage like fashion spent the week in the weight room and fighting Siberian Wolves to get prepared.

"We really worked up a good sweat this week" said DJ Robinson, "I'd fight Drago too. Rocky is the man. So sweaty and tight bodied, I could just DIE!"

"Yeah DJ works pretty hard in between games this week" said stand-in captain Travis Dingle, "I think a little too hard sometimes. He's been acting kind of gay lately, maybe its just the sun getting to him"

However the bad news reached Monarch HQ a few hours before the first pitch was supposed to be thrown. The Screwballs had defaulted on the game due to what an ESSC spokesman was calling 'the-other-team-being-huge-scared-pussies'.

Next week the Monarchs head into the playoffs holding the #2 spot and should be looking to play the winner of the Genuine Draughts Vs. Free Swingers game last week. The winner was not available at press time.

The loss did hurt, and it hurt alot. It was nice to get a week off and have a chance to step back, take a breath, and focus on what is to come.

You know what was "really kind of gay"?

...getting halfway to the game before finally hearing that it was cancelled.

Thanks Cap'n Bouchedag

Are we sure that the entire opposing team just didn't come down with a contagious case of vaginal sprains?

Deej, you didn't find out about the cacellation until you were half way to the game. Would you say that hearing the news was a bit of a "shocker" If so, maybe it's just time you deserved a shocker back.
