2015 Supporters' Shield. 1st seed in the Eastern Conference. Two regular season wins. It was all there for the taking and the New York Red Bulls just basically laid an egg against Columbus Crew SC. Now they are in a 2-0 hole going back to Red Bull Arena, and have a lot of work to do in order to even try and force extra time. Can the boys in white pull off the comeback and continue the season by going into MLS Cup? Musical Credits: Opening: Happy Rock - http://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music ...

Two Supporters's Shield in three years. Facing D.C. United again in the playoffs. Jessie Marsch has some interesting comments. It's a good time to be a fan of the New York Red Bulls. Oh, we also broke the curse in Chiacgo, so there's that as well! Wait, the New England Revolution are out of the playoffs?! Toronto FC got bounced in a blowout?! Well, things are just happening all over the place aren't they? Oh, we should probably talk about it, right?

Five goals were scored in the New York Red Bulls 4-1 win over the Philadelphia Union. Just four less than the number of Union fans who signed up for a bus trip. The win also featured a new MLS record, which broke one previously owned by the Red Bulls themselves. After the big win, it's onto Chicago to take on the Chicago Fire in what could be the biggest game of the year. The Supporter's Shield will be on the line as the Red Bulls and FC Dallas play a short 13 and a half hour drive away from eac...

It's double recap time for the boys, and what a better way to do it than with two 2-1 results to talk about. The New York Red Bulls ability to let us down is amazing though.

It looks like that 5-2 loss was more of a bump in the road than anything else, as the New York Red Bulls got back on track with a 2-1 win over Columbus Crew SC. They won’t have much time to bask in the win as the team has a short turnaround with the visiting Montreal Impact coming midweek. The guys talk to Sofiane Benzaza of Mount Royal Soccer about Drogba and the matchup between possible playoff teams.

So yea, so much for Orlando City SC being worse off than the New York Red Bulls. The league of parity strikes again! The Red Bulls also got lucky with the parity, all the other teams had a terrible weekend also. So, hooray for mediocre play keeping the Red Bulls near the top of the league. Can they improve off of the 5-2 loss by taking it to Columbus Crew SC and getting a valuable three home points?

It happened! The New York Red Bulls won MLS Cup! Wait, no, they just made the playoffs. Time to celebrate though? It was a good game though as the Red Bulls took care of the Portland Timbers on the road 2-0, knocking off one of the best defensive teams in MLS. Orlando City SC comes in hot though looking to keep their shot at the playoffs alive. Can the Red Bulls beat the visiting Lions and get a season sweep on the league's two expansion sides?

Two games in a week? That means two wins right? Think again. It’s a narrow escape from the Fire but a disappointing win by the bluecoats that thwarted a playoff berth. Not to worry though, we can still find the silver lining in most things. The Red Bulls are still on the edge of a berth though as they travel to Portland to cut down the Timbers. Orlando City can also help the New York Red Bulls by not helping themselves. We talk all that and some stupid stuff in this week’s edition of the Red Bul...

3 games, 9 points, some brooms, 1 sweep, and NY is Red. Forza Lucha was a success while the New York Red Bulls completed the sweep of New York City FC and the Empire Supporter's Club supplied some brooms.

It’s been a weird week for the New York Red Bulls. They beat Benefica 2-1 in the International Champions Cup. Sean Davis went off and played well in the Chipotle Homegrown Game. Dax McCarty went off and played well in the MLS All-Star Game. They had no MLS match to speak of, so they got to rest. Oh, they also signed Shaun Wright-Phillips, and are reported to sign a Designated Player in Gonzalo Veron. All of this while not selling off their young guys.

A 2-0 win down against Orlando City in a hot humid Florida is followed up by a penalty kick loss to the Philadelphia Union back in New York during the US Open Cup.
