Jose Contreras Best Quotations

If Cuba wins, it is expected. If they lose, there will be a lot of explaining because baseball is the top sport and if you don't win, it's a problem. The pressure is going to be double for Cuba. You have the government watching and you are playing against the best players in the world. This will be the best competition Cuba has ever played against.

Our pitchers get along with Coop. Coop understands us, lets us do what we think is best and we feed off each other very well. He's been a great part of our success.
