Earlier this week...

...there were a lot of people speculating or insisting or proclaiming or theorizing or hypothesizing or certain that Josh Beckett's poor performance in Toronto was a result of Victor Martinez catching him instead of Jason Varitek, and that Varitek needed to keep catching Beckett.

After seeing the 3rd HR in less than four innings extend the Yankee lead out to 5-2, I'm hoping (but not, I confess, much expecting) apologies from those people tomorrow to the rest of us.

UPDATE: Now 4 HR in less than 5 innings, and this is officially worse than Tuesday's performance. It's clearly Martinez' fault...
