Is it panic time in Red Sox Nation? Kevin Youkilis says we don’t need to panic. I may have been a little harsh on Dice-K last night in the game recap but it’s frustrating to watch him pitch at times. I do agree with Steve’s assessment that he should not be entirely blamed for last night at all. The Red Sox just got outpitched last night. Jake Westbrook’s stuff was phenomenal and the credit should go to him. Am I a little bit nervous about tonight’s game. Yes, a little bit but since Youk said not to panic, I won’t. So while we are waiting weather updates from the Jake today, let’s take a look at the headlines from the Boston and Cleveland area media and see why Youk says not to panic.
