What are we to make of the fact that Moneyball (set in 2002) prominently features a character performing a song released in 2008? Is this secretly a time travel story? Did that girl write the song, and then somebody else recorded it several years later (or does she grow up to be Australian singer/songwriter Lenka*? Is this film actually set in an alternate timeline, where the song was released a half-decade earlier? Is Sorkin a huge Back to the Future Fan? Is there a trope for this**?
*Why yes, I did have to look that up.
**There are two.
