Most of it is the natural backlash after the downfall of Paul DePodesta was hastened by his trade of favorite LoDuca, even though the trade made the team better.
I liked LoDuca, but I grew tired of hearing the overwhelming praise given him by Plaschke and his ilk. Turns out LoDuca can't walk on water after all.
Wow, really? Are we THAT stuck on DePodesta? Lo Duca was his own person and loved playing in Los Angeles. I think he deserved that praise. We have plenty of people that played in Dodger Blue to disparage besides one of the good guys.

Not so much stuck on DePodesta but rather annoyed by the annointing of LoDuca as something greater than he is/was (think smaller scale Jeter) after the fact of The Trade™.
I liked LoDuca when he was a Dodger, but am now ecstatic that we have Russell Martin, who is every bit the player (and more) LoDuca was thought to be.
Uhoh...so now the Phillies have to pick a fight with PLD while he has that gang of, uh, fine upstanding young men like Dukes and Lastings and steak_grows_on to back him up? Not cool....

Someone better explain to Milledge about the trash can . . .
