  In case you missed it, the Red Sox beat the Yankees 4-3 on Saturday night. We provide this public service announcement because Fox left the game for the start of the Subway Fresh Fit 500 just as Yankee second baseman Robinson Cano was battling Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon with two outs in the top of the ninth. Needless to say, Fox has gotten killed in baseball-crazy New York and Boston as well as NASCAR-happy locals. “The net result was not what we wanted to happen,” says Fox Sports spokesman Dan Bell, who said his network received 20 complaints.
  What happened? Fox is contractually obligated to show NASCAR races from start to finish on its broadcast network. They asked NASCAR to push the race back, and the auto racing body agreed to move the race from 8:45 p.m. to 8:53 p.m. Both worlds collided at that point and Fox was cooked. (The conclusion of the baseball game aired on FX.)
