Beckett's Ex Singing Nat'l Anthem - merged

[Mikiemo83]

Head games? Tonight's anthem singer is Beckett's ex

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.

They met last summer. They're not an item anymore.

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."

Midges get all over your skin.

Exes can get in your head.

DiBiasio said when Swift couldn't do the game, a country music booker recommended Peck, a rising star in the industry. She's from Coshocton and has a hit single, "I Don't."

"She's from Ohio. Her entire family are Indians fans. We did not know anything about her connections to Beckett. The next day, we find out the rest of the story," said DiBiasio. "How are we supposed to know who Josh Beckett dates?"

We'll take the Indians at their word.

But it's no secret that Beckett also has dated actress Alyssa Milano and model Leeann Tweeden.

If Tweeden models "Mrs. Sizemore" shirts on the scoreboard and Milano throws out the first pitch, we'll know the games aren't just on the field.

Imagine you're facing one of the most important moments of your career, a moment in which you must be on top of your game and perform at your peak capacity. Everyone is counting on you; the whole world is watching. Concentration is paramount. And then, when the moment of truth comes, and you're ready to go ... someone trots out one of your exes. Yipes: Good luck keeping your cool now.

That's exactly what the Cleveland Indians are doing tonight.

The Indians claim they had no idea, and that's it's just a coincidence. Right. Of course. We think we might have just figured out a way to slow down Tom Brady this season.

Clearly the Indians are worried about tonight's game. They know we've got them right where we want them.

I'd be more worried about be an indians fan... if it was a bad break up he's liable to be throwing some serious pitches

Beckett's Ex To Sing National Anthem Before Game

http://img.viacomlocalnetworks.com/images_image_281093753 Dan Roche's Red Sox Blog (http://wbztv.com/roche)

(WBZ) CLEVELAND Maybe Josh Beckett should have started Tuesday night after all. According to a published report, he once dated the woman who will sing the national anthem before Game 5 of the ALCS tonight.

Country music artist Danielle Peck will sing the national anthem and "God Bless America" before the first pitch at Jacobs Field.

According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Peck and Beckett dated last summer, but are no longer linked.

The Indians told the Plain Dealer they knew nothing about the romantic link.

"It's an incredible coincidence. Honestly," said Indians spokesman Bob DiBiasio. "This isn't another bug thing."

DiBiasio was referring to the thousands of midges that swarmed the field during the ALDS when the Indians hosted - then eliminated - the Yankees.

Peck is replacing Taylor Swift as Thursday night's vocalist. DiBiasio said Peck, a rising star in the industry, was recommended when Swift couldn't make the game.

"She's from Ohio. Her entire family are Indians fans. We did not know anything about her connections to Beckett. The next day, we find out the rest of the story," DiBiasio told the paper. "How are we supposed to know who Josh Beckett dates?"

Maybe her family members are Indians fans, but in one photo on her web site Peck is donning a Red Sox hat and cropped Sox t-shirt.

HOLY BULLSHIT.
Thats worse than cameragate.

[TITAN126]

That's classless...they're just doing that to mess with him.

[Tchok13]

God the Sox better turn this around and win. Make the Indians realize there is one thing you do not do, and that is mess with ex's. Steal signs, fine. Tar on your hands, meh. Getting bugs to come out of nowhwere, why not. Mess with someone's ex, Holy crap.

[babalu87]

MEH
If the next 7 innings go like that then she should be singing at Fenway.

He said "thats not my fvcking decision to make, she's a friend of mine and I'm glad they flew her in so she could see the game."

Beckett is a potty mouth

[babalu87]

But he's OUR potty mouth.
I know its early in his career but he could be the best post-season pitcher EVER.

The RedSox should line up other ex GF's to sing before games whenever Beckett pitches....
