...sounds like you’re new here. When we post fanposts, if it not directly related to the Cubbies, we like to put OT in the title, like this: “OT: A Cube in St. Louis”. It helps direct our procrastination.

Seriously, though, I’m 4 hours straight west of you in Lawrence, Kansas, and my girlfriend just moved to Rolla, MO, bout 90 min from you. Welcome.

Another St Louis resident here. I printed a wee little flag in May to “fly” after victories. Unfortunately, almost to the day I printed it the Cubs went on a skid, so I threw the thing away. We’ve done pretty well since (cough, understatement) so I’ve yet to procure another one.

I thought I was the only Cub fan on BCB that lived in the St. Louis region. That’s awesome! I love wearing my Cubs hat/gear out in public because I am always getting responses from other people. Most of the Cardinal fans give me dirty looks or walk up to me and say something like “ugh, the Cubs stink!” and walk away laughing. Well, poop on them!

Not long ago, I went over to the Olive Garden in St. Charles, and while there with my wife, an female employee walked up to me, knelt beside me and whispered in my ear. She walked away smiling. Haha… my wife didn’t think it was too funny, but I laughed my head off. All she said was “Just so you know, your not the only Cub fan here in cardinal-ville. Go Cubs!” She came back by later and told my wife all she said, which cooled things over…but still, it was funny! Haha.

GO CUBS! HANG THAT FLAG UP HIGH!!!!!!! YAHOOOOOO!!!!

I wear my Cubs gear all the time here(I’ve been brushed back playing slow pitch cuz of my hat, haha). I have a poster of Wrigley Field prominently displayed in my living room, and the TV is often set on WGN. I have some Cub-fan friends here too, and we all love going to Cards games just to root against them. The fans here are often really polite, but sometimes their just discourteous, and they have too many championship flags for my taste…

GOOOOOOOOOO CUBS!!!

I have a few Cubs fan friends down here, too, but I had no idea there’d be out here on BCB!

alongside all the VP offices so I’ve been slowly adding Cubs stuff. I have a 12” Cubs logo on my dry erase board, Cubs Win!! (written in Japanese thanks to dragonfantastic), a Cubs calendar, a Cubs mouse pad and Marmol throwing sliders on my PC desktop (thanks SWL). Plus I hang my Cubs hat and/or Jacket at the entrance.

I like your flag idea; would be good here too as Sox fans are the equivalent of Cards fans and there’s plenty of them the last few years. Question; where did you get that foul ball sign from the stadium?

I’ll have to take a pic of mine and post it here…

actually that would be a good diary. people can show off the cub gear in their cubes and show how they show off their fandom at work.

Central Illinois Product, SIUC Alum—Career brought me to the breadbasket of Mullets and Trans Am.

I have officially banned myself from attending any games at Busch for the betterment of the team cause my career record at old and new busch is something like 1-25.

Yes, it can be difficult to root for the Cubs surrounded by Cardinals fans. I love seeing that “W” flag. Cardinals fans have made me sick over the years by wearing T-shirts that say “Choke: The Official Soft Drink of the Chicago Cubs”. I got sick of looking at that 2006 World Championship merchandise. Oh, you don’t know how much I would love to shove 2008 Cubs world championship stuff in those Cardinals fans’ faces. I’ll be in St. Louis July 4-5 to watch the Cubs.

While being a cube creature would not really be my cup of tea, I applaud you for making the most of it..

“be alert” sign? Sure looks like the genuine article.

I have a framed picture of my best friend and I in the bleachers at Wrigley during a night game in Sept. ‘06. Let’s just say there a LOT of empty seats behind us. The best part of the picture, though, is the player’s name on the electronic sign under the scoreboard: HANK WHITE. Avg. 248, HR 5, RBI 26. I also have all my ticket stubs from the last few years pinned to one wall.

this one in St. Peters, where the “W” flag flys proudly ( on appropriate days, quite a lot recently ) from a 20’ flag pole in my back yard.

Go Cubs!

Right now I’m working at home.

My home office doubles as our guest bedroom/sports memoribilia room. Cubs (and Bears, NU, Bulls and Blackhawks) stuff everywhere including a lifesized Kerry Wood cutout pepsi ad from years ago. (Lucked out happened to be at Jewel when they were taking it down asked if I could have it they said sure!)

from pissed off Cards fans!

I also won a Ryne Sandberg #23 flag at the convention which is huge! We have it on one wall of this room and we hang it on our flagpole on opening day, June 23rd and Ryne Sandberg’s birthday.
