Game to FX

Posted by Amalie Benjamin, Globe Staff April 12, 2008 08:16 PM

The end of tonight's game will be shown on FX, not on Fox.

Fox has gone to NASCAR coverage, with the rain delay.

  1. Yeah, great move by Fox. In our market, they cut away to the meaningless early laps of an almost-as-meaningless NASCAR event ***JUST BEFORE THE FINAL FREAKIN' PITCH***** -- I didn't even have time to change the channel to FX -- WHICH I COULDN'T DO SINCE I DON'T GET THAT CHANNEL ANYWAY -- they couldn't wait for one more out because they just HAD to show a few extra seconds of a bunch of rednecks making left turns at high speeds. Genius. Bloody, freakin', genius. What, they weren't able to show HEIDI tonight? Un-freakin'-believable. If my leg wasn't in a cast I'd have kicked in my television screen.

  1. What is the matter with those people at Fox?? Score of 4 - 3, top of the ninth - 2 outs and a full count on the batter and THEY SWITCH TO NASCAR???!!!??? They do NOT deserve the right to carry MLB games!!

  1. I wish I knew this last night. I was watching the game on FOX and the broadcast switched to Nascar with two outs & two strikes against Cano in the top of the 9th. I was very disappointed to say the least.

  1. As a Red Sox fan who does not have cable tv, I was very excited to see the Red Sox-Yankees game on MLB on FOX yesterday.
    I know the network was put in a difficult position with the rain delay, but WHY would they switch to auto racing with 2 outs & 2 strikes in the 9th inning???? If they had waited 30 seconds, the game was over! Instead, I have to watch the start of a car race (how neccessary was it to show it start/or how about a split screen?) and scurry to find the Red Sox on radio! HEIDI 2!!!!!!!
    For those of us without cable who could not switch to FX, FOX let us down.
