Dan points out the Padres won their division decisively.  Small
wonder, too, considering the second-place Braves winning percentage.
In fact, if one were to standardize the NL schedules (i.e. count each
inter-division game as 1.5 games so that each team "plays" each other
team 18 times), I wouldn't be surprised to see the Padres come out
fourth or worse in the laegue overall.  Their decisive win in the West
may be as much a result of that division's weakness as of the Padres'
strengths.
