Cleveland Plain Dealer - Country music artist Danielle Peck will sing the national anthem and "God Bless America" at tonight's Indians game. She will not sing, "Stand by Your Man."  Peck, it turns out, dated Red Sox pitching ace Josh Beckett, who is starting tonight's do-or-die game against the Tribe and who handed them their only loss in the American League Championship Series. The Indians claim they had no idea of the love connection when they announced Tuesday that Peck would replace Taylor Swift as tonight's vocalist. "It's an incredible coincidence. Honestly," said Indians spokesman Bob DiBiasio. "This isn't another bug thing."

Coincidence my ass! The Indians are clearly playing for keeps.  This is diabolical.   They can’t beat Beckett fair and square so now they’re playing mind games with him.  Just ruthless.     If Beckett has a rough first inning we’ll know why.   I mean it’s impossible not to try and impress your ex girlfriend.     You know that in the back of his mind he’s thinking if he throws a shut out he’s definitely going to pull some ex girlfriend ass tonight.   I just hope he doesn’t press because of it.   And in all honestly MLB should step in and do something about this chick singing the national anthem.  It kind of ruins the integrity of the game.  Let's settle this thing on the field. Not with hot ex girlfriends waving their asses in our players faces.
