If I was trying to come up with a hashtag for the NL Central so far this season I might go with “expect the unexpected.” The St. Louis Cardinals were supposed to be in first place and they are currently in last place (although threatening to climb out of the cellar). The PIttsburgh Pirates were supposed to be bottom dwellers and currently sit in second place, with a 23-20 record. The Chicago Cubs are... well, where most projection systems believed they would be in third place, although I doubt those projection systems saw them in tie with the Cincinnati Reds.
