The Chicago native is a diehard Cubs fan. (Earlier this sum- mer,hemay have been onlyhalfjok- ing when he called the Cubs’s hated ri- vals, the St. Louis Cardinals, “Satan’s messengers on earth.”) Not as well known is Murray’s ownership stake in the Martha’s Vineyard Sharks, a colle- giate summer baseball team that plays its home games at the Martha’s Vine- yard Regional High School in Oak Bluffs. Sunday, Murray threw out the first pitch at the Sharks’s game and chatted briefly with a reporter from the Cape Cod Times, who asked the “Lost in Translation” star what’s wrong with the Red Sox. “You can’t win every year,” replied Murray. “You guys used to be such good losers and now you’re unbearable just because you won a couple times.
