MYSPACE.COM/JROMANMUSIC

i know last year half of you loved it & half of you hated it....but for those that wanted a nice lil remix of our chicago cubs classic talking about THIS year's team, then i hope you enjoy & play it proud!!!!!!!

hopefully this is just the start of MANY more celebrations this year, GO CUBS GO!!!!  :)

i know there has already been an official dempster apology fanpost & some of you even mentioned soriano in that....but this man NEEDS his own fanpost since 90% of this community has been bashing him up until recently!!!!

let me be the first to say, i'm sorry alfonso...i will never ever doubt your ability EVER again & i hope that everybody here can be man enough to do the exact same!!!!!!  :)

GO CUBS GO!!!!!

after watching 2day's game, it finally hit me:

IF we're keeping soriano as our lead-off hitter (which appears to be the case) then reed johnson seems to be a great solution in the 2 hole which would then allow us to keep fukudome in the 5 hole where he seems to be VERY comfortable!!!

i've thought all along that pie finally needs a shot & i guess i still believe that BUT 2day's lineup sure looked good against one of the better pitchers in the league.

thoughts????????

some liked it, some didn't but j.roman & dj flipside's - "go cubs go '07" is now available for a FREE download over at: myspace.com/jromanmusic

it's the #1 most requested song on B96 and has recently been added over at XRT as well...tried to keep it pretty true to the original but just wanted to update it for the younger generation of cubs fans!!!!!

like all of you, last night was one of the greatest nights of my life...but it's ONLY gonna get better!!!

go cubs gooooooooooooo!!!! :)

glad you guys found this remix i did ... let me explain a few things about why i did it. (responding to the comments i read in a previous diary)

a) i am a DIE-HARD cubs fan / season ticket holder who actually has posted on here a few times before, i def enjoy this website.

b) i do work for B96 & talk about my cubbies as much as my bosses allow me too...and not just this year when they've been good!  the reaction from our audience has been absolutely HUGE on this remix!

c) i have & will make NOOOOOO money from this song whatsoever!  we are about to offer it as a totally free download once the cubbies clinch.

as a lifelong cubs fan who really does "bleedcubbieblue" i thought it be great to update this song for the younger generation of cubs fans!!!  i love the original too, (that's why we kept the remix pretty true to the original) but i just wanted to update the lyrics a lil bit for OUR team this year!!!

for those who like it...thanx.  for those who don't, it's all good.  just know this has NOTHING to do with "tryin' to further my career" and EVERYTHING to do with making our B96 radio audience as excited for the Cubs as everybody on this site is!!! :)

ps...i'll let you know when we make it available for a free download for those who want it, but for now you can hear it at:  www.myspace.com/jromanmusic

What could have been:

Maddux said when he left the Braves as a free agent after the 2003 season, he delayed picking a new team, hoping he could sign with the Dodgers. But the franchise was in the process of being sold, and thus in limbo. After the sale was completed, Maddux waited until general manager Paul DePodesta was hired on the eve of Spring Training, but no offer came and he ultimately signed a three-year deal with the Chicago Cubs after camp opened.

"I wanted the chance, but it never came up," he said. "That wasn't 'sort of' the reason I waited, that's the specific reason. I wanted all of the options in front of me to make the decision."
