I understand exactly what it means. It means they were better than the mighty Philadelphia Phillies, the unstoppable Montreal Expos, the Big Blue And Orange Machine NY Mets, and the powerhouse Florida Marlins for the last decade (minus '94). Truly a class of teams that rivals the, erm, Brewers, Cubs, and Devil Rays in offensive prowess and pitching dominance throughout baseball history! Yarr!

World Series? Nah, who cares about the postseason? It's all about beating the Mets, Phillies, Expos, and Marlins year after year.

No disrespect to the Braves. They've been a great team over the years, for a number of reasons. But let's put this in perspective, here.

Peace.

How about the perspective that when the Braves won the NL West in '93 they became the first team to do so 3 years in a row. That means the Dodgers, the Giants and the Reds never had won the NL West 3 years in a row. Don't forget that the Braves came from the West to start this little streak and haven't always had the Expos and Marlins to beat up on.
