I think the Braves seemed to always have the problem the Mets are currently facing in that they had their division wrapped so long ago that they haven't been playing with any intensity lately. Often the Braves would get bumped by a Wild Card team that had to fight it's way in. In fact in the past few years Wild Card teams have made a lot of noise either winning the series or getting to the series. The Mets should win the NL, their lineup is so far ahead of everyone elses it is funny. But if they can't get their intensity up to the right level come playoff time they won't. Now they're going to need Steve Trachsel to be a go to guy in a short series.
