Comedian Bill Murray, a noted Cubs fan, participated in the Quad-City Open on Wednesday. During the long round of golf, Murray had a lot to say to some of the fans in attendance. He took a couple of shots at Cardinals fans that were around too, much to the pleasure of Cubs fans across the country.
Via the Quad City Times…
Murray, wearing a floppy hat and a blue and gold paisley shirt that was perpetually untucked, began bantering with the masses before he took his first swing.
He asked if any fans saw his beloved Cubs sweep St. Louis in a double-header Tuesday. One woman behind the ropes said she was a Cardinals fan.
“Satan’s messengers on Earth,” was the way Murray described the Cardinals.
“And then it turns out your team is cheaters, too,’’ he added.
That wasn’t all!
A few steps away, a boy with a Cardinals hat asked for an autograph. Murray signed, then noticed the red cap. “Are you a Cardinals fan? Get out of here. Rotten kid.”
Well, I think he’s kidding.
Right?
When he missed a putt of his own on 18, he threw his putter into a sand trap and kicked his bag twice. When he finally did hole out from about eight feet, he pointed to the hole in mock triumph.
Alright, this makes more sense now.
