Part 2 of 2! Jake and Trey rejoin to discuss senseless Superdraft suggestions, hot stove(r) hypotheticals, and of course to tally up the points from our top-of-season predictions to see who gets the coveted Chipotle Aluminum Wrap Trophy. Reminiscences on one of the weirdest seasons in club history abound. Whil out your scorecards: you’ve got Blue Balls.

Part 1 of 2! The cup is hoisted, the season’s over, and Jake and Trey are ready to reflect. We wipe the sand from our eyes and chat roster moves, expansion draft decisions, and of course the end of the tenure of 2021 veteran, controversial commander, and perennial promiser of better days: Tricky Nick Cushing. Plus: a little chatter about the incredibly satisfying denial of Red Bull New Jersey glory for yet another year, and also we talk about yugioh. Wrap up your year at least as tightly as you wrap up your junk: you’ve got Blue Balls.

We lost, you know what it is. Crack this one open if you're ready to process the end of a weird, weird season. Don't forget your SSRIs — you've got Blue Balls.

Blue Ballers, we didn't expect to be recording this episode but we're pleased as punch to be sharing it with you. Jake and Trey sit down to revel in the conquest of 3-seed FC Cincy and the ensuing derby day playoff at Citi Field against the New Jersey Red Bulls. We break down the extra-innings PK shootout against Cincy and all the hardcore defensive action that brought us there, plus Gotham crash-out chat, international doodies, other, messi-er playoff results, and of course, a precap of the biggest-ever hudson river rivalry grudge match. Hope you can find a seat on the 7 train, you've got Blue Balls.

Sharp-eared Blue Ballers will know: we never expected to be here after last week. But after a 3-1 victory over visiting Cincy, we've got ourselves a three-game series and the extra motivating factor of a cross-town rival in the postseason. Could NYCFC actually make it to the second round of playoffs? Or was the defensive devastation we saw on Saturday just a flash in the pan? Jake and Trey break it all down for you: Kevin O'Toole and Justin Haak's all-timer performances, Thiago Martins' first-ever club goal, standouts and brainfarts from Freese, and the coaching tete-a-tete that gave us our groove back heading into game three. Then: a little chat about the rest of the bracket, a check-in on spooky season, plus some precap discussion of NYCFC's high hill to climb away, staring down the end of their season. Check you didn't leave the stove on — you've got Blue Balls.

Rough week for New York, Blue Ballers! Jake & Trey hop on the mic to break down one of the most disturbingly toothless performances by NYCFC in club history, in a moment which needed anything but. We talk Santi self-sabotage, Trayvon’s late-game drama, Cushing’s tactical malpractice, and more. Plus a little on the state of the league, the state of the Yanks, and the state of our married friends — and even a mini precap of game two of this first series. Check your Halloween bucket for the good stuff — you’ve got Blue Balls!

Blue ballers, a 0-2 loss against Montreal to drop your boys to 6th has Jake and Trey feeling restless. So we've got another short one that turned out to be a long one on our hands. Your boys in blue break down the disarray to pull some positives out and keep the faith; we talk offensive ineffectiveness and playing-up / playing-down action. THEN: Cushing... out???, getting aggro about the MLS awards, and a little precap of the bizarre round-of-three playoff stretch with Cincy. Cash out your Chuck-E-Cheese tickets: you've got Blue Balls.

Ahoy Blue Ballers and welcome back to another edition of your least-favorite favorite soccer pod, and boy did we miss you. After a bye week for both the boys and pod boys, Jake and Trey dive into the last two games of the team's current mini-streak. We talk Santi and Alonso's white hot run, how NYCFC can (or can not) hold it together to end a match, and what feathers we can bless some lesser appreciated pigeons with. Then, Trey asks Jake for some sage MVP voting advice, the inevitable journey to Orlando, and the French (Canadian) mob standing in our way. Scarf up and zip it tight, you've got Blue Balls.

Sunnier skies for us, Blue Ballers! An explosive 5-1 victory against New Jersey’s not-quite-finest has Jake and Trey feeling cautiously optimistic about the end of NYCFC’s season. But have Cushing’s children found their form? Or did the adrenaline of a Hudson River sweep give us a power boost we’ll be paying for heading into the end of the 2024 season? We break down the details, including star making performances across the board and every glorious goal, then chat the implications for the team, the gaffer, and the postseason. Plus: a little precap action for Cincy and Nashville this week. Check those NJ Transit times — you’ve got Blue Balls.

Blue ballers! We’re coming off an EVENTFUL two matches and ready to piece it all apart. Your Boys in Blue were in the press box for both the historic inaugural 5-1 shellacking by Philadelphia AND the GOAT’s visit to Gotham and the single secured point of the week. Is a last minute equalizer from James Sands enough to buoy our spirits? Or is a continuing winless streak in a clutch moment sending us into fits of depression? PLUS: an insider look into the luxury boxes of the new stadium and a chatty check-in with the man with the answers, Brad Sims. THEN: a classic Fillmore precap to the final derby day of the season. Swap your pinks for baby blues — you’ve got Blue Balls.
