Mets pretty much business as usual. Uncompetitive after Uncompetitive at bat. Yet still in game with a chance..

Can’t believe you’re still going.

1. Yes. FEMA has enough funding for now.
This was a massive storm with emergency declarations in many states at once. That’s going to use a lot of resources. As head of the agency, he wants to ensure they maintain a healthy level of funding to meet any other immediate needs from additional storms and long term needs.

2. Because FEMA is set up to work on emergency programs. The shelter and services program was created for customs and border patrol to transfer funding to FEMA to assist customs and border patrol. By the way, republicans have sought to eliminate that funding entirely. It was not disaster relief funding. It was money to CBP which they could allocate to FEMA.

3. They didn’t.

4. I haven’t ignored anything. Everything you have said here is wrong, and I’ve tried to explain why. I find people who play politics around natural disasters to be particularly gross. The people lying to you are despicable and it’s sad you believe it all without looking any of it up.

5. Helene was one of the biggest storms to ever hit the region. There are emergency declarations in Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and West Virginia. FEMA is not broke. This was just a huge storm that caused a ton of damage in a large land area. They need time to get through it.

Just to end this.... glad you know more than Mayorkas... he's the one who just reported to us all that he doesn't have enough funds for the hurricane season... In July he reported that FEMA was flush for the hurricane season...... jes sayin' .... OUT

Freshman recruiting is marginal. Transfer portal and recruiting one’s team are key.

My two Philly friends are lamenting the Turner acquisition. He’s been a decent hitter, but they both say how horrible on defense he is. And they’re not too happy about his crazy contract.

And those are Philly fans talking.

He’s just a poor defender by any means—eye test of fans and the multiple defensive metrics.

The Lindor AB to start the 9th in Game 3 was a thing of beauty too. Staying alive fouling off pitches to earn that walk; that type of bat control and plate coverage is part of the game that's a lost art. A real craft. Critical to get that leadoff man on down two. Polar Bear deserved a moment.

This is the exact thing I told my brother as it was happening. I said once Lindor walked, they would tie. It completely set the tone and made Williams have to think a little about him at first and the middle of the Mets lineup was due.

But I didn’t think they’d score 4.

The Mets had been swinging from their heels most of the game and didn’t even manage to get into any deep counts—and this with the Milwaukee starter primarily throwing a four - seam fastball mostly.

The cool thing about recruiting now is it’s up to the fans. If we want better recruits we can buy them.

Just win any way you can.

FloSports please keep the Press Box door open so we can hear the crowd. WSOU did and it sounded good.

Pretty quiet lately. The only person I've heard talking about this is former #1 pick Kwame Brown looking for Lebron to speak up what he knows about Diddy parties. Figured one of these outspoken celebrities on human rights or womens rights would have spoken out by now

Again…. FEMA did NOT use FEMA money to pay for the DHS programs. The DHS used FEMA to process DHS funds. It’s like getting a refund from Samsung in the form of a check from Citibank. Citibank isn't giving you money, Samsung is. Get it?

The DHS and FEMA have both confirmed what I am saying here.

You are just buying political spin from politicians using a natural disaster for political points.

1. Mayorkas said in July..... that FEMA was ready for the Hurricane season....

2. Why was it necessary for as you say that DHS used FEMA to process DHS funds? After listening to Mayorkas above and witnessing the lack of preparation for Helene and Mayorkas record with respect to the border, you still believe DHS?

3. Why did FEMA run out of money for future hurricanes? see 1 above.

4. You are ignoring inconvenient truths when acting the apologist here.

5. I have a lot of respect for FEMA.... they were Johnny on the Spot for Hurricane Ida, I was personally severely impacted and they performed well in my area. But for some unknown (???) reason, they are broke and severely lacking at the moment. WHY???

Pirates Rally Past PC for First BIG EAST Victory​

Down 2-1 in sets, The Hall won sets four and five behind double-doubles from Walsh and Klungel.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Seniors Jenna Walsh (Foothill Ranch, Calif.) and Maddie Klungel (Napa, Calif.) had double-doubles as the Seton Hall women's volleyball team rallied for a five-set victory over Providence, 3-2 (25-20, 21-25, 22-25, 25-21, 15-12), on Friday.

Walsh had a season-high 18 kills, only five attack errors, 12 digs and two blocks. Klungel had a career-high 52 assists to go with 13 digs and four blocks.

SET 1:
The first set featured a remarkable 15 ties and 10 lead changes until Seton Hall took control late. Trailing 20-18, The Hall closed the opening set with a 7-0 run. A block by Klungel put the Pirates in set point, and a kill by Lucas closed out a 25-20 set one victory. The Pirates' defense held Providence to just .070 attacking in the first set.

Up 13-12, the Friars took off again, scoring seven of the next nine points to grab a commanding 20-14 advantage and sending The Hall to its second timeout. A kill by Lucas cut Seton Hall's deficit to 23-20, but Providence held on for a 25-21 set-two win.

SET 3:
Providence led the third set wire-to-wire, but never led by more than four points. Down 20-16, The Hall received back-to-back kills by Walsh and forced a Friars' timeout. The Pirates cut their deficit to 23-22, but Providence was able to get the final two points for a 25-22 victory. Seton Hall had only a .103 attack percentage in set three.

SET 4:
Like Providence in set three, The Hall never trailed in set four. The Pirates raced out to a 14-5 lead, causing the Friars to burn both of their timeouts early. A kill by Loiselle extended The Hall's lead to 20-10, but Providence answered with an 8-0 run to cut their deficit to 20-18. The Pirates, however, bounced back and a kill by Lucas put The Hall in set point, 24-20, and two points later, a Providence service error gave the Pirates the set and tied the match.

SET 5:
In the decisive fifth set, the Pirates had a match-high .368 attack percentage. With the score tied at five, The Hall scored four straight, and a kill by Hanna Tulli (Collegeville, Pa.) put it on top, 9-5.

No. 15 Pirates Claim BIG EAST Home Opener 1-0 Over Marquette​

SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. – A lone Jared Smith goal gave No. 15 Seton Hall men's soccer a 1-0 victory over Marquette in their BIG EAST home opener. This was the Pirates' first BIG EAST win of the season.

The first half was a stalemate before the Pirates' Jared Smith finished off a Seton Hall breakaway to put the team up 1-0. The Hall piled on the offensive pressure, finishing the first half with a 6-2 advantage in shots. The Golden Eagles flipped the script in the second half, including a near goal in the 71st minute. However, the Pirates' stout defense held strong and secured them the 1-0 victory.

With the win, Seton Hall moves to 8-1-1 on the season and 1-1-1 in BIG EAST play.

The team pressed hard following the goal, finishing the first half with a 6-2 advantage in shots.

In the second half, Marquette put the Pirates' strong defense to the test immediately, registering two shots within the first five minutes. A dangerous 71st minute breakway by the Golden Eagles proved to be the opposition's best opportunity of the night, but the shot was driven off the post after goalkeeper Soren Jensen forced Marquette's Tim Smith to adjust his shot.

Jensen shut the door on the final Marquette opportunity of the night with a save in the 81st minute save. The Pirates held strong for the final nine minutes, securing the first BIG EAST victory of the season.


INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
