With the strike zone that Pujols gets in every single AB its laughable for TLR to ever cry about a strike zone. And if you think Votto is the only one that argues with umps you should watch Pujols.

Hey Sparky! Indian Hill English teachers taught me everything I know!
Bad calls are a part of the game.
That said, I have little patience for an umpire that has a really poor grasp of balls and strikes. And umpires have been really poor this season.
I don't blame Votto for arguing, as I feel as if he's been screwed over more than once this season. If LaRussa thought his team was getting squeezed (and it looked like he had a case for sure), I see no reason to give him crap.
Of course, LaRussa and his team are constantly complaining about something, it seems. I can see why some people think it's little more than a fart in the wind.
My guess is that if Dusty had said this this topic would be quite different to read.
