Catherine Varitek, the wife of former Red Sox captain Jason Varitek, seemingly took a swipe at Boston Chief Baseball Officer Craig Breslow on social media Monday morning.

And buddy, for frustrated Sox fans currently powering through one of the more brutal seasons in recent memory, it was music to their (our) ears.

Jason Varitek was one of five coaches fired late last month after a 17-1 win in Baltimore. Manager Alex Cora was the headliner nationally, but Varitek's departure — which the team tried to frame as a "reassignment" — cut the fanbase the deepest.

The 54-year-old is a legend in Boston. He was the captain from 2005-2011. He was part of two World Series teams. He famously kickstarted the 2004 season by going to war with Alex Rodriguez. He's been in the Red Sox organization for three decades, and was a coach under Cora for nearly his entire tenure in Boston.

He's a Red Sox lifer. A fan favorite. A cult hero. Naturally, he was fired (reassigned!) last month, along with Cora and three others.

For those wondering where the Varitek family stands a month later, here's Catherine chiming in via Twitter:

"They have the 'smartest man in baseball' running the show," she said in response to a fan's question about Varitek returning to the team. "They’ll be OK without Jason, that’s what they wanted. It’s what’s best for the team."

Amazing. This is what has become of this Red Sox season. Wives are now using social media to mock the front office. And
