Blue ballers, the season is winding down but we're WOUND UP! Jake and Trey sit down to take some end of season lessons from the Philly phumble. Then: we talk about it and literally nothing else. David Lee, one of the true NYCFC originals, is leaving for greener pastures. What can we say about him? No, actually, what can we say? C-Lee-chet as it is, we must call it the end of an era. So take your yearbooks off your laps — you've got Blue Balls!
Blue ballers, you sound crazy. 0-4 loss? What Miami game? Your boys in blue are here to talk about a ROUTING in the Hudson River Rivalry which saw the New Jersey Red Bulls all but btfo of playoff contention with a 2-3 loss against the Pigeons. Jake and Trey are giddy to tap the spine of this team and examine just what turned a blowout into a blitz this week. We talk Martins mistakes and massive moments, Freese's fogs, Messi's magic, Nico's notes of nuance, Perea's parabolic arcs, and so much more. PLUS: Racial epithets? In supporter's sections? and the Mets crash out in spectacular fashion to give us a clearer run at the cup. AND: a quick n' dirty precap of Philadelphia. Time for that eleventh-inning stretch: you've got Blue Balls.
Your boys in blue are in fabulous spirits. Not only are we six points up from last time against conference titans Charlotte and Columbus, but the homie Jake returns triumphantly. We talk titillating tactics, the conditioning secrets of those beefy Dutch boys, Fernandez and Freese’s fabulous feats, and more. PLUS: Matty’s contract and Braddy’s hard tacks. AND: a messi little precap of Miami and Mahwah’s own. Don’t get the last bus seat at Port Authority — you’ve got Blue Balls.
Ahoy Blue Ballers and welcome back to yet another Blue Balls Bonanza in the most wonderful (and stressful) time of the year. Trey is yet again Jake-less but not John-less as John Baney of Hudson River Blue joins the pod again to breakdown the huge Chi-town 3-1 win. The guys talk the big comeback, Nico's unique role, how Gustavo fits in, and the goalfest. Then, Alonso Mart-DP-nez? And how does this team continue the hell stretch at home against two tough challenges? Get those plane tickets for a new Brazilian Back Line, you've got Blue Balls.
Zut alors Blue Ballers, Blue Balls is back - or shall we say "Blue Ball" as Trey went solo dolo on this one to get you a quick episode before NYCFC head into the wild and wacky home stretch of the season. Trey talks a surprising DC United upset that stopped the boys in blue's momentum in its tracks, and why this team can't beat bad teams - does anyone know? Then, a recap of a convo with Huicho Barraza, some USMNT talk, and can New York play Greggcelently over the Chicago "Spider Man Meme" Fire this weekend? Hide the gravy and cheese curds, you've got Blue Balls.
Three points against Cincy have your boys in blue BUZZING to, once again, fall for it! Is NYCFC good now? Did the summer transfer window go well, actually? Are our acquisitions firing on all cylinders? Is Jansen a shoe-in for coach of the year? Will we throw it all away this weekend to drop points to worst-in-the-league DC again? Better finish drafting that gerrymandering legislation... you've got Blue Balls!
We've got friends in low places, and Nashville is one of them following a 2-1 victory here at Yankee Stadium in Curtis Sliwa's own Boogie-Down Bronx. How did the ragtag bunch of misfits on NYCFC pull it off? Jake & Trey break down the specifics for you including the miserably missing Martins, new toy Nico shoring up the back and making nonzero contributions in the front, and our enduring faith in the goalscoring of El Clinico, Alonso Martinez himself. Plus: some behind the scenes Haakchat and a Son-ny day begins in Jake's new SoCal locale. Take a dip in the mighty Pacific — you've got Blue Balls.
Another week of whiplash in Blue Ball City as Jake & Trey break down the 4-3 victory over Dallas, followed by the ignominious goalless loss against Puebla just a few days later. We chat Nico Fernandez' immediate impact, a pockmarked and panic-inducing back line, el Clinico's return to working service, and much more. Plus: surgery after surgery, and Gray's anatomy is no solution. And: a spicy little precap on a Leagues Cup group stage that seems over before it began. Leave those Sour Swimmers at Trader Joe's — you've got Blue Balls.
Three matches, four points, two dudes, one pod — do the math, Blue Balls Nation! Jake and Trey dig into the first three chapters of our summer road odyssey. We talk Maxi's minimal contributions, young guns, lament the missing birds and wolves, Perea winging it, and so much more. Plus: the stove has gone from cold to sizzling with arrivals and departures galore. And: a quick n' dirty Dallas precap to pre-cap it all off. If you have to write a letter, try not to add a sketch — you've got Blue Balls.
Three points at home against Toronto put the wind at NYCFC's back staring at a challenging set of away games — but will they be able to handle it?

Jake & Trey break down our domination of the Ontar-rible Toronto FC, talk Maxi woes and upcoming solutions, thick midfields and missing Martinezes.

PLUS: a little rapid-fire precap of Charlotte FC and the games beyond. Put that AC on Power Saver. you've got Blue Balls.
A grim 0-1 loss to worst-in-the-east Montreal has Jake and Trey feeling weary. We gripe, groan, and grasp at straws to understand what has this team, in the words of one prophetic coach, "showing up late to the party." We touch the Third moRailez and talk about aging playmakers and the frustrating gaps left in their wake. And then? We talk about the good stuff. The Freeze-Teens Golden Showdown. The crusading USMNT. The issuance of receipts to the haters. PLUS: a sloppy little precap of Canada Part Two: Canada Returns. Check your pockets before you cross the border — you've got Blue Balls.
It's been a long lonely time, but we're back to give you exactly what you've been clamoring for: jetlagged europilled blue boys yapping about whatever. There's some soccer in there, we promise. Jake & Trey hit the Atlanta and Nashville games, Hannes Wolf's productive and suddenly resilient body, water strategies of the great Mediterranean states, Matt Freese's ascension and the haters who don't have anything better to do, the confusing, corrupt, and yes, decently cool Club World Cup, the dolla dolla bills y'all, and whatever else managed to slip in there. Plus: the shortest ever precap from a craptacular CF Montreal. Delete your meme trove if you're queued in line: you've got Blue Balls.
Good morning, good afternoon, good night and good luck Blue Ballers — following a massive 3-1 victory over Gregg Berhalter's visiting Chicago Fire, your Boys in Blue are starting to feel optimistic about the season again. And with NYCFC sitting at 6th in the east, we've got good reason! We cover a punchy yet pinioned Chicago, goals and goal support from Bakrar, Wolf, and Martinez, the solidity developing in the front AND the back (don't ask about the crack), and the beginning of what might be a run of lineup consistency in Pascal Jansen's NYCFC. PLUS: Gold Cup gripes, hot takes on the halfway point, and best cocktails on mediterranean beaches. Make sure to check the conversion rate: you've got Blue Balls!
Boys, we're eating good tonight. For the first time in weeks, your boys in blue are relishing the recap.

It might be time to change the Brita filter: you've got Blue Balls.
It's a barely-there morning episode to cover the barely-there Blues who dropped 3 league points and crashed out of the Open Cup this weekend. Miseries abound as we do our weekly David Lee grousing, but also evaluate first minutes for the awesome aussie Aidan O'Neill, talk about the mess caused by the Feet of Keat, final third piss-poor passing, and the overall flaccidity of our favorite boys in blue. Also, we talk about basketball. THEN: what does the money mean? Jake and Trey talk soccer side valuations. Hold onto your butts. AND FINALLY: a precap of our black-n-red Acela Antagonists DC United and Red Bull New Jersey. Wipe yourself off and get the fuck back up — you've got Blue Balls.
Three points against the FCC have Jake and Trey feeling like digital pirates! We're cruising down your broadband streams with a total recap of 90 minutes of play that were wetter than Ben Shapiro thinks is biologically possible, including Julian's early gamewinner, Alonso's crossbar crisis, Matt Freese's treats & tricks, tackling the tilt, and much much more. PLUS: a little NBA sidebar as the Knicks clinch game 1 against Boston, a salute to the Tin Man on the occasion of his retirement, and a panicked precap of the Pittsburgh Riverhounds open cup match and the Montreal battle that follows it. If you thought they smelled bad on the outside: you've got Blue Balls!

Grim times at the Blue Balls HQ this week as Jake & Trey break down the 0-2 loss against New England's bottom-scraping Revolution. Morale is at an all time low, even as Moralez minutes are at an all-time high! We talk the return of Tayvon, a truly senseless Starting XI, the toothlessness of the attack, and log into the chat as Thiago Martins defenders. PLUS: royal-watching the meme-queens on r/mls, a little pope-scoping, and some David Lee prognostications as the transfer window draws to a close. AND: a quick n' dirty Toronto precap. Wallahi, better prep for this weekend — mans got Blue Balls.
We're wringing out our souvenir hats and wiping our shoes on the 7 train as we recap some GOOD news at long last. A 1-0 win against Philadelphia had a redeeming effect on NYCFC's morale and your boys in blue are here to predict whether the weather will stay or pass. We map the midfield action from the Parks to the Shore, Martinez's massive mid-speed shot after Mitja's missile, and the defensive discipline that allowed it to all come together. Plus: we steal talking points from our other favorite publications and do a halfhearted precap of the very same New England Revs we faced just a few weeks ago. Change into some dry socks — you've got Blue Balls.
Your sleepy boys in blue shake the sand out of their eyes and talk Sunday afternoon's grim little outing against a visiting Minnesota. A 2-1 loss humbled our Boys in Blue and Jake & Trey will break it all down for you, including the a-Limits of Alonso, the cut-inside revival developing in the offense, the virtues and vices of 40th-minute subs, and the bright spots in an otherwise bleak April outing. PLUS: hot stove on Kevin De Bruyne, other roster chats, USWNT recaps, and a laser focus on Philadelphia as our 24 hour mourning period comes to a close. Zip off those cargo pant legs — you've got Blue Balls.
