Far too early for any panic buttons. They have lost 6 straight and given up 6+ runs in each game. The last time they did that was 1950, but they won the Series that year.

Where they failed was not establishing any safety nets with respect to the pitching staff. Even with the relatively minor injuries to Mussina and Wang, with a $200+ million payroll you should have a better plan to address the pitching problem.

That said, I expect them to win two out of three this weekend at home.
