Carlos Peña was nixed from Friday's lineup card by a concerned Joe Maddon just before the game due to a scratched cornea. The Tampa Bay Rays were fine without the slugging first baseman -- who is still experiencing slightly blurred vision in his left eye -- pulling out a 6-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox behind Akinori Iwamura and future Rookie of the Year Evan Longoria.
My niece scratched my eyeball once right before I was supposed to leave for a G Love and the Special Sauce show. I ended up not going because it hurt really bad and was watering like crazy. When I asked my girl how the show was the next day, she was reluctant to tell me she totally made out with the drummer.
Carlos Peña, I hope Willy Aybar doesn't make out with your drummer and kill your dreams. Get well soon.

that is the saddest story ever.
Evan Longoria for RoY! GO RAYS!!!!!!!!!!!
That post made perfect sense until you got to the part where you skipped a G Love show just because your eye hurt. You only need one good eye to rock the fuck out!
So true.
How sad, Carlos was SO excited.
