The Loony Bin Podcast ·

2024/11/04

It’s two more draws against Real Salt Lake making it six draws in a row against those Salty Banana Chips (credit: The Loony Bin Junior). But this time, in the MLS Cup Playoffs, both games go to penalty kicks and the Loons advance to the Western Conference Semifinal against the LA Galaxy. Their victories come on the back of Dayne St. Claire’s PK saves (and RSL’s misses) and a team of shooters who make 8 out of 10 shots. Now we wait three weeks for the Loon’s next playoff game.

It’s the October International Break, so who better to bring on than Jeff Rueter from The Athletic.

S1E31: One (Goal) + Two (Shutouts) = Four (Points)

The Loony Bin Podcast ·

2024/10/07

The Loons earned four points while away at RSL and Vancouver while scoring one total goal from a penalty kick. They’re now up to 405 minutes without conceding a goal, a team record, and have leap-frogged Vancouver for the 7th seed in the playoffs. With a two week break (for those not playing internationally), the team now gets ready for Decision Day at home against St. Louis where they could end the season anywhere from 5th to 8th place. ------------------ Connect with us on twitter

The Loony Bin Podcast ·

2024/09/30

The Loons play their best home game of the year and Loonlet Matt was in the Wonderwall to take it all in.

S1E29: Road Sweet Road (feat. Points from Blue Hell)

The Loony Bin Podcast ·

2024/09/23

After a disappointing home loss to a formidable FC Cincinnati team, the Loons went to Sporting Kansas City and took home their first ever points during the MLS regular season. Aided by a weather delay, the crossbar and an upcoming Open Cup final for SKC, the Loons did what they had to do and held onto the last play-in playoff spot for now. Next up is a home game against the Colorado Rapids. ------------------ Connect with us on twitter (@loonybindpodcast), email us at theloonybinpod@gmail.com

We’re back from a trip to St. Louis where we saw our Loons beat up on CITY and put to bed their playoff push. It’s our first Loons away game and we have so many people to thank for helping make it happen. We end the episode getting you ready for FC Cincinnati at Allianz and the Loon’s trip to Blue Hell, a place that has been nothing but awful for the Loons during the regular season. ------------------ Connect with us on twitter (@loonybindpodcast), email us at theloonybinpod@gmail.com or find

Consider the Loons lucky to play against San Jose, the only team they’ve beaten in MLS play since June 1st. Jon Marthaler from The Minnesota Star Tribune joins The Loony Bin to talk all things Minnesota United.

S1E25: Despite Yeboah Brace, Seattle Wins in our Place

The Loony Bin Podcast ·

2024/08/26

The Loons season begins again (thank god), with some fresh faces in place (quite needed). But it's the same old crap against the Sounders as Seattle wins 3-2 in our house, beating the Loons three times this season. Until we beat them, they are our daddy … ------------------ Connect with us on twitter (@loonybindpodcast), email us at theloonybinpod@gmail.com or find us at www.theloonybinpod.com.

2024/08/13

As we approach the end of the Summer Transfer Window on Wednesday, August 14th, the Loons have been active bringing in new players, and sending some away.

2024/07/22

The Summer Transfer Window is open and this team needs reinforcements. Matt and Dan head to the DC United game hoping Loonlet Matt will get to experience his first Wonderwall but instead, gets to experience the pain of the Loons turning a win into a loss in the final minutes. But the Loons get their win against San Jose, even if they didn’t deserve it. ------------------ Connect with us on twitter (@loonybindpodcast), email us at theloonybinpod@gmail.com or find us at

2024/07/15

The Loons earn a season-saving tie in Houston and their losing streak ends at six. They now come home for two very winnable home games that must equal six points as the Summer Transfer Window opens and the team gets an MLS regular season break for Leagues Cup. Canada’s run in Copa America ends and the return of Dayne and Tani bolsters a lineup in need of reinforcements.

A home loss to Vancouver is followed by a last minute loss to the Galaxy in a 1-2 gut punch that has the Loons season on the brink. The team will head to Houston before coming home for two as the Loons hope that the end of Canada’s Copa America run coupled with the opening of the Summer Transfer Window may give the team some salvation. ------------------ Connect with us on twitter (@loonybindpodcast), email us at theloonybinpod@gmail.com or find us at www.theloonybinpod.com.
