Panic comes early to Red Sox Nation

Actually, it may not be panic in Red Sox Nation, but it?s starting in the press already, so you have to figure that it?s either a reflection of or a precursor to some amount of overreaction in the fan base. Rob Bradford: three games in, already asking if the Sox should blow up the rotation and the bullpen by moving Daniel Bard into the closer?s role:

It sounds stupid, I know. One game in such a huge batch affecting the future of a pitcher and an organization? But one of the key elements in building a successful foundation is understanding when there is a crossroads and then taking the right path.

Terry Francona?identified the moment two games into the 2006 season, sending?Jonathan Papelbon?down his six-year run as?Red Sox?closer while kicking Keith Foulke to the eigth-inning curb. Now it might be Bobby Valentine?s turn.

Three games, folks. Three games against one of the best teams in the game. You don?t throw an entire winter?s planning and an entire?s spring training?s worth of preparation over the side based on Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder hitting some home runs off you.
