Wheat, Not Weeds

Pulling up weeds, according to Jesus, is not part of our job description. The farmer will take care of the weeds.

The St. Louis Cardinals didn't win the World Series last year - or the year before. They weren't even in the World Series. But manager Tony La Russa, who has four World Series rings, is a lock for a future first-ballot pass to Cooperstown.

But in June of 2009, La Russa was mad. He wasn't yelling at the home-plate or first-base umpire, but he was yelling in court. He filed suit against Twitter for allowing someone to "twitterjack" his name - which, for a high-profile celebrity figure such as himself - is sort of like his brand. Someone other than himself had created a Twitter account in his name and said some really nasty things about some Cardinals players. La Russa was not amused.

Twitterjacking isn't hard to do. If you don't have a Twitter account, anyone can use your name and start tweeting to beat the band, and those who follow your "name" will think it's you doing the tweeting.
