St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa is suing the social-networking site Twitter, claiming an unauthorized page using his name damaged his reputation and caused emotional distress.

…

The lawsuit claims that someone created a false account under La Russa’s name and posted updates, known as “tweets,” that gave the false impression that the comments came from La Russa. The suit said the comments were “derogatory and demeaning” and damaged La Russa’s trademark rights.

Oh, boo hoo, so someone on Twitter created a fake account. How is this a bad thing? Sure, the pretender was a bit rude and such, but what a great opportunity for the long time manager to sieze the moment, grab the spotlight, and gain a large Twitter following.

Instead, he decided to be a cry baby, grab his ball and bat, and go home. What a shame. How insecure can you be?
