Huh??
Last year the Braves won the division by 2 games.
In 2000, they won the division over the wild-card winning Mets by one game (the Mets won 94 games and were the NLCS champs, BTW)
In 99 they also beat out the wild card winning Mets (who won 97 games)
In 97, the Marlins finished second, and oh yeah, they ended up winning the WORLD SERIES.
In 94, the Expos were super-hot and ahead of the Braves by 6 games when the strike happened.
In 93, the SF Giants won 103 games! YES, 103 games and missed the playoffs. But no, that's not competitive.
In 91, the Braves won the division over LA by 1 game. LA won 93 on the year.
For you to say that the division hasn't had any competition for the last decade is worse than ridiculous! If you're going to bash the Braves, at least get your facts straight.
