And the hits just keep coming. To make room for Raul Ibanez, activated today from the DL, fan favorite Chris Coste was designated for assignment. He was claimed by the Houston Astros, which means that Coste's Cinderella story with the Phillies has come to an end. All the best, Chris!
Hours later and I've just heard Coste being interviewed about the move and his stay in Philadelphia. About the former, he's happy that for now he's still in the majors. About the latter, he said, "You could write a book about it." And he already has.
