Last night the Phillies may have won the game 5-4, but for those of us who watched on TV, we were the losers.
And, the Phillies owners wouldn't have had it any other way.
What you witnessed is indicative of what Communist China would do in terms of the cover up.
During the first inning last night when Rollins stepped to the plate, during the broadcast on Comcast Sports Net, it was decided by somebody to play a pre-game interview of Rollins over top of the fan reaction as he stepped to the plate.
This was timed perfectly and was about as disgusting a move you'll ever see out of this cowardly ownership group.
The reason why anybody watched this game last night was to see what the reaction of the crowd was going to be like when Rollins stepped to the plate in the first inning.
Not that the ownership group advertised this game as any sort of event, but it's just another example of this ownership sticking their heads in the sand like ostriches when controversy ensues. But, this transcended the lowest of the lows by even this ownership's standards.
I compare the Phillies ownership group (David Montgomery) to a dictator that is holding a beloved franchise hostage. I spoke to one of my friends in the media about this and he believes the broadcast team at Comcast made the decision to cover up the boos, but I disagree. They were ordered to cover it up because it's the Phillies' broadcast! The PHILLIES did the interview with Jimmy Rollins before the game and it was a cunning rouse on their part.
After this display I say enough is enough and we the fans should run this ownership out of ground like in an old-time movie when people are chased out of a town as rocks are being thrown at their caravan as it heads out of dodge.
There's no place for dictators in professional sports and that's all David Montgomery amounts to.
