Sad a statement as this may be, for many of us our world begins and ends with the Mets. But, alas, there are only so many times in a day that we can refresh our browsers over on our favorite Mets related blogs and expect to see something new.

The Metwork was created for the spaces in-between. Of course, we'll always post important Mets updates throughout the day but here you'll also find posts on current events/breaking news, film, T.V., original essays and other weapons of mass distraction.

The Metwork was conceived by Internet-a-phobe Benjamin Truman with the encouragement of his consiglieres Gardner Sparks and Siddhartha Finch. Gardner and Siddhartha live in Los Angeles while Ben lives in an underground bunker at an undisclosed location.

Inappropriate comments are sort of like pornography--we'll know it when we see it, and it will probably turn us on. That being said, please show some class and try to keep it together.
