La Russa Arrives

Tony LaRussa is now Kirk Gibson's boss. That will be a super relaxed work environment.

Derek Hall's way of remaining the good guy while Tony comes in and wrecks shop?

— Josh (@UofAJaC) May 17, 2014

Haven't heard anyone say or write this yet, but Tony La Russa and Kirk Gibson happen to be very close friends. Gibson's job is safe.

Looking back a few days, this Tweet now makes a lot more sense. Was wondering why LaRussa was in Arizona...

Hall of Fame mgr Tony LaRussa just gave #Dbacks Chris Owings a standing ovation here in press box for that catch.

And wonder if we'll see La Russa on Twitter?

Twitter Verified Accounts were rolled out after a 2009 lawsuit by then St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony LaRussa over fake tweets in his name

The @dbacks score 3 runs so I'm going to Taco Bell tomorrow for 1.5 tacos with the purchase of a medium drink.

@Dbacks so sad&depressing...I think I'll listen to some @radiohead creep to cheer myself up...

Eric Chavez homers off his old teammate, Dan Haren, DBacks go up 5-3. Puig scratches himself gloriously while waiting for the next batter.

— LolDodgers (@LolDodgers) May 18, 2014

Eric Chavez hit a key home run today. The current year is 2014.

— Matt Leland (@MattLeland) May 19, 2014

Puig gets hit with a 77 mph pitch and milks it. Really? Man up, Puig. Seriously.
