20ish games in, and not a team below .500 in NL central. Not sure I’ve ever seen something like that before.

Holy. This might be the best the NL Central has been in a VERY long time!
Have they all been playing the Mets?
I’m not having any fun.
Call us the serious central this year!
Central is on something so far
Let’s see how things look a month from now
Edit: just to add I’m not downplaying just interested to see how this actually goes
That’s wild
the standings in general look nothing like how anyone expected going into the season lets be honest, other than the dodgers leading.
Pretty sure the entire NL east was above .500 in June 2005?
As a Reds fan it’s nice to see right now, but I am interested to see where they are and everyone else in about another month or so
The Cubs are on pace for an 89 win season and they are in last place.
One year, in the very early 1990s there was a division where every team finished the season above .500. Might have been the AL West, but I would have to look it up. Seems like it was pre-realignment so before 1995 at least.
In the Nationals’ first year, 2005, the Nats started 50-31, but ended the year in last place at 81-81. Every team in the NL East was at .500 or above.
Damn right.
Rip NL East
It’s only a miracle we are.
Oh great. It’s 2013-2015 all over again.
NL Central rn is what the AL East was supposed to be
It’s not even May…this is fun to see but the sample size is small
NL Central is so back!
This season has been a really fun ride so far.

AL Beast, meet NL Cent-Hell
Check out the NL East, we’re really looking fierce over here.
Just in time to make getting to the playoffs harder after our front office finally stopped acting like a bunch of of clowns🫠
The Cardinals have not played a division rival yet. And they won’t until April 27.
Its actually cool to see different teams succeed
Are they just beating up on the NL east or what?
As long as the Cubs are in last place, I’m good.
Baseball has one good team the dodgers rest sucks
It’s still early
First time since 2004 that the entire division is above. 500 this late in the season
You only have to look at past seasons of the AL central to “see something like it”, many seasons the AL central would be collectively UNDER .500. (If not it certainly felt like it)

Thank the stupid schedule
Apparently you have never looked at the AL East

It’s like the standings are upside down
