Watch Bill Murray Give a Cubs Briefing From the White House: 'We've Got Too Many Sticks'

WASHINGTON, DC — Bill Murray was looking slightly less than presidential behind the lectern in the White House briefing room Friday, decked out in a Chicago Cubs fleece. But the nation's Cubs Fan in Chief spoke authoritatively about the team's chances of beating the Los Angeles Dodgers in Saturday's Game 6 of the National League Championship Series.

"I feel very confident that [Dodgers starting pitcher] Clayton Kershaw is a great, great pitcher, but we've got too many sticks, we've got too many sticks," Murray told reporters during a visit to the White House while he was in Washington, D.C., to accept this year's Mark Twain Prize for American Humor at the Kennedy Center on Sunday.

Murray — who was at Wrigley Field to cheer on the North Siders during Game 1 of the NL Division series — also believed Chicago had the advantage over L.A. when it came to the hometown fans and the weather.

"You get a little bit of autumn in Chicago," he said. "You don't get that in Los Angeles."

Murray's visit included a meeting with President Barack Obama, too. What did a staunch White Sox fan like Obama have to say about having such an outspoken Cubs fan in the White House?

"He was wearing a Cubs jacket — which for a White Sox fan is a little troubling," Obama told reporters, according to USA Today.
