Cardinals News and Notes: Giancarlo Stanton, past playoff success, dancing, and Paul DeJong

Mike Leake had a rough outing last night, but the Cardinals will look to split the series with the Red Sox later today. Here’s what happened yesterday at VEB:

• Giancarlo Stanton might not be as expensive as we once thought. Pegasus explains why the power hitter is worth a longer look.

• The Cardinals beat a lot of teams in the playoffs from 2011-2013—John takes us through it.

• An absolutely hilarious video of the Cardinals dancing on their plane surfaced via Yadi’s Instagram. It’s the latest Hunt and Peck.

• Paul DeJong batting 3rd has changed the Cardinals for the better. I look at how exactly this move affected the lineup.

• The Cardinals should destroy the Red Sox, but they didn't last night. If you want to read about that, the recap is here.

One down, one to go vs. the Red Sox. Happy hump day!
