That's tasteless and awful, if the comments were about dead players. Thanks for that info. I hadn't seen that stated anywhere on anything I read. Yeah, I wouldn't want that attached to "my" twitter account either. (Didn't mean the post to be so much a critique of La Russa's choice to sue, either. More of an opportunity to think about the whole authenticity issue.) Eeek. That’s tasteless and awful, if the comments were about dead players. Thanks for that info.

The issue was that the person was using it to make really tasteless comments riffing on the fact that a couple of Cardinals' players have died in recent years. I'm not a huge LaRussa fan or anything, but I can understand why he wouldn't want "his" Twitter account to be cracking jokes about the deaths of his players. I don't think it's so much a reputation management issue... cgb I haven’t been following the story super-closely, but my understanding is that the reason for the suit wasn’t just that someone set up a fake LaRussa account.
