INCREDIBLY SHOCKING!!!

Josh Johnson lasted only 3 2/3 innings and gave up eight runs -- four earned -- to the White Sox in his season debut Monday. Johnson started off the outing walk, single, walk, with the first base on balls going to a guy (Jerry Owens) who hadn't drawn one all season. He was a little better after that, but back-to-back errors in front of a Jim Thome homer in the fourth -- one committed by Johnson himself -- helped get him pulled from the game. While Johnson should improve next time, mixed leaguers will want to wait a while to activate him.
