This Is No Time To Panic
The Red Sox are 4.5 games behind the Rays and tied for the wild card, do not panic. Take a deep breath, everything is O.K. You have a right to have some concern about the rotation but Wake is coming back, Colon is looking good and Beckett will be fine. The offense has been healthy and will improve with J.D. and Lowell back in. Big Papi's wrist and knee are not an issue now, Jason Bay is hitting well, and Youk is gunning for MVP. Sit back and enjoy the ride, it will be bumpy at times but the Red Sox will be in the playoffs. The 2008 Red Sox have the talent, experience, and favorable schedule to make the stretch run enjoyable for the Nation. Keep the Faith!

It feels like half your post is pointing out reasons why there needs to be concern. 4.5 games behind (behind a team that is rarely losing these days), pitching injuries, injuries on offense, hoping players heal well.
Getting everyone healthy is clearly issue number one. Number two would be being able to depend on the bullpen.
I'm not worried about getting to the post season so much as our competition once we get there. Getting through the first round is going to be a bitch this year, and even if we get to play the central team for the first round and we advance, we're going to run into the Rays or Angels, both who are really good and really hungry.
Will experience trump hunger? I suppose it did last year, but their were other circumstances in play.
look at what they Rays have to worry about, their best player is out, Upton is a clubhouse cancer, and a fan base that is not showing up....
in reality I am a little worried but I found it was wasted energy last year so I am going to try to stay positive this year.
yeah, but maybe those guys in the bullpen need to get laid or somethin'
