Jake & Trey are back in the hot seat and ready to break down the match that brought tears of relief to ten thousand boys in blue -- a glorious 5-0 victory over inaugural season rivals Orlando City SC. We talk all five goals from five power players on the squad, impressive Orlando goalkeeping despite the results, the savvy and sensitive playmaking in the offense, and visions of Oh What Could This Mean for the rest of NYCFC's season. THEN: some quick notes on being at the top of Nate Silver's Magic Table, a little 'lympics chat, and a barely-there preview of (again!?!) Columbus Crew. Make sure to stick the landing - you've got Blue Balls.

Blue Ballers, it's been a hell of a May! Your Pigeons have been stacking up points and with three more in the pocket coming home from Massachusetts, there's a lot to celebrate and a lot to break down. Jake and Trey dig in to Big Bird's big score, NYCFC's rock solid centerbacks, Gray growth and gravitas, Gil-turns, and more. Then: casino drama at NYCFC's future home, prognostications on the depth charts, and a solid San Jose preview of NYCFC's glorious return to the Bronx. Drop those fat sausages on your Memorial Day grill — you've got Blue Balls.

Episode 14: S10E14: Bird Brained

Buona Settimana blue ballers and what a settimana it has BEEN. Your boys in blue have come off a triumphant and historic 9 point week, finishing up with a win in the provincial first Hudson River Derby in Queens. We are ready to cover it all, and by "we" we mean half of us as Jake couldn't make it to this one. But FEAR NOT as we brought on noted twitterati, podcaster, and blogger John Baney (aka @ThePigeonsNYCFC) off the bench to help break down the dubs. We talk a thrilling showdown versus the cross-river rivals, a little locker room talk, a homecoming for good ol' Cakes, and the briefest of precaps re: New England mishegoss. Hang loose and hang tight: you've got blue balls.

Episode 13: S10E13: Hung-Three Like the Wolf (feat. John Baney)

Blue Ballers, we are feeling FRESH AND FROSTY after our first road win in — a year?? against a feisty Toronto FC with a lot to say. Jake and Trey waste no time in breaking down the Toronto Tunnel Tiff in as much grisly detail as we've got — which is to say, not much! Then, some actual soccer. A 3-2 victory away gives us much to celebrate and MUCH to analyze with major showings from ascendant Pigeons. Plus a bonus recap of NYCFC II's latest Open Cup upset, and precaps of Philly and Red Bulls abound. Ice those (moose) knuckles — you've got Blue Balls!

Episode 12: S10E12: One Punch, Man?

Folks, NYCFC crashed into a soggy wall out in Queens this weekend to fall to a hobbled Colorado 0-2. Jake and Trey don't want to be talking about it, but talk about it they do — complete with all the segments you've come to expect. Freese praise, Bakrar banter, a Santi survey, Jovanvestigations. Your boys in blue are playing the hits! PLUS: a Maxi-valuation on the Spiderman's return, and an eye towards ascension for the insurgent Baby Blues who take the field TONIGHT against another Colorado team. THEN: we get no-nonsense on the northern border for a Toronto precap. Un-bunch your shorts when you're crossing the Peace Bridge: you've got Blue Balls.

Episode 11: S10E11: Rapids Decline

With three wins and five unbeaten, NYCFC just might be back folks — and your Boys in Blue are here to tell you how, why, and when it all happened. Jake and Trey break down a messy but massive 2-1 redemption win over Charlotte that saw goals from a gorgeous Big Bird header and wunderkind Alonso, plus our usual Freese flowers, nods to the wings, and some love to Bakrar stretching ever closer to the end of his dry spell. Plus: an overdue review of the Blue Twos, some not-quite locker room talk, and a nasty little precap of a Colorado visit to cap off our home run. I wouldn’t hike in those shorts — you’ve got Blue Balls.
