Ummm...what?

According to Peter Schmuck of the Baltimore Sun, the Cardinals and Orioles are planning on "sharing players" this season through a lease and lend program.

If that isn't the weirdest fucking thing I've ever heard, I don't know what is. How would this work?

Dave Trembley: "Hey Tony, we're playing the Yankees today. Could we borrow Pujols for a few hours?"
La Russa: "Sure Dave, just return him with a full tank of gas."

And WHO in the fuck would the Cardinals want to borrow? Brian Roberts? There is not much other "major league ready" talent on that team...
