Astros claim Coste
Not sure what this means for Humberton Quintero, but the Astros have picked up catcher Chris Coste. I think Coste was a player that Ed Wade dug up when he was at Philadelphia.

Always a Phillie
A few of the good guys from last year's championship team aren't in red pinstripes today, and they weren't in the Phils clubhouse for the champagne showers. One of them is Chris Coste, who as we all know suited up for the Astros in this series and had a great view of his...

Chris Coste had it pretty good in Philadelphia. He was freakishly old for a rookie, which gave him plenty of fodder — and a title — for a book that became relatively popular. He’s been contacted about turning his life story into a movie in the vein of Vince Papale...

A call-in from Phillie fan favorite Chris Coste was being hyped by the WIP Morning Show. They noted that the catcher "sniffs his own bat after a good hard hit."
He's either got himself an interesting on-field habit or he is a sick well-endowed freak.

Roy Oswalt Beats The Diamondbacks 1-0 On A 4 Hitter
Roy-O pitched to Chris Coste, who, in my opinion, is a MUCH better receiver than either Pudge or Q - very soft hands. He threws a TON of curveballs and that curve was most definitely working just FINE tonight - only one ball was well hit all night.

Watch the replay below of the supposed game-winning run scored by Jose Reyes. Did Chris Coste tag him before he touched the plate? Looking at the slow motion replay in the clip, I think it's close, but I really don't see Reyes touching the plate at all.

If you noticed this weekend, it was Lou Marson playing the Friday and Saturday games, while Chris Coste stepped in as day-game-after-night-game backup. A sea change at catcher?
The numbers will prove that might be possible:
Chris Coste: 6-for-33, 2 R, 0 HR, 5 RBI, 3 BB, 9 K
Lou Marson...
