I mean, what's so bad now if you were unlucky enough to suffer through the poppycock calls Leo Mazzone's rotation was gifted?
You non Braves fans are so whiny about those days. You all act like the Braves were the only team getting any calls. What you fail to realize is that those guys for the Braves mastered the art of keeping the ball around the plate and throwing it exactly where they wanted to, making pitches appear to be strikes, even when they weren't. That has always been something the best pitchers in the game have done. It just so happened that the Braves had a trio of them on their team.
Did you watch the Braves get robbed by Eric Gregg in the '97 NLCS against the Marlins? It's one of the most infamous performances by an umpire in the history of the game, and yet I bet you've never even heard of it. Because you only watch the Braves if your team is playing them, right? But you know everything about the calls the Braves got, somehow.
Sure, pal.

Heard of it, watched it. You’re suggesting that it was ok that Maddux and Glavine consistently got six inches to a foot off the plate because that game happened? Yes, that staff did a great job of taking advantage of the way the zone was called then, but that doesn’t make it right.
