Phillies’ new ballpark

"The ballpark will help the team win. The fans are a vital part of the Phillies. If they are excited, the Phillies will win."

"The last four games [as of Monday] have been good for the Phillies. I think the ballpark will help them play better."

"The Phillies will go all the way this year because of the new playing field and their better players. Go, Phillies!"

"It makes no difference if the Phillies played on the roof of the new field. If they stick together as a team, they will win."
