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.
