Yep, dumb. Bradley Whitford was in line for the role and would have been good at it. I've never been impressed with ol' Bill's dramatic chops.

Would this be a dramatic film? That's just a diaster on its own if it is

I would assume. How many sports movies about real life events are comedies?
Those are usually about tragedy in some way. What's that there if it's simply about the Cubs ws team?

You got that Jimmy Fallon & drew Barrymore red Sox win movie.

That's true but that was more about the love story than the team. I was picturing this to be more "Miracle on Ice" than "Bull Durham" but what do I know?

If there's an interesting movie to be made about the Cubs, it centers around "The Plan" and Epstein and Ricketts, not so much the on-the-field stuff.

Just from what I am getting in this thread: they already decided on Bradley Whitford to play Joe Maddon, and now Bill Murray has to insert himself in this. Because, he's a Cubs fan if you didn't already know.
