Enhanced Box Score: Cubs 6, White Sox 3 – June 20, 2011

I can only assume that, after Ozzie Guillen’s hilarious outburst and ejection tonight, he and Carlos Zambrano are out to dinner, where Z is offering Ozzie the names and numbers of the city’s best anger management therapists.

Zambrano gave up a first-inning homer to Paul Konerko and then bupkis. It was pretty awesome, and, much to the chagrin of every writer in the city, he didn’t even kill anyone. Starlin Castro continued to do his Castro thing, and Carlos Pena had another homer. He’s heating up just in time to be sent to another team.
