What is the Metwork?
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.
Who's Running this Ship Anyway?
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.
Comments Policy
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.

View Article  Metwork Musings: Stephon Marbury is an Ignorant Schmuck
Last night's edition of Geico Sports Night featured a Stephon Marbury soundbite that was either the eptiome of stupidity and ignorance or the epitome of denial and blind loyalty. 

When asked by a reporter for his reaction to Michael Vick's pending guilty plea to federal dog-fighting charges, Marbury proceeded to plead Vick's case with one of the most asinine responses one could ever hope to hear.

Specifically, Marbury stated:

"We don't say anything about people shooting deers and shooting other animals, you know what I mean?  From what I hear, dogfighting is a sport. It's just behind closed doors and I think it's tough that we build Michael Vick up and then we break him down ... I think he fell into a bad situation."

I'm not a big fan of hunting, but the last time I checked hunters weren't drowning, electrocuting and otherwise torturing deers before shooting them.  And how exactly does one "fall into" into being a ringleader of an interstate dog-fighting enterprise?


Stephon, do us a favor..go get yourself another tattoo before you say something else incredibly stupid.
View Article  Metwork Musings: Why I Hate Jeff Suppan (and love Wikipedia)

1.  The NLCS.  That’s all I’ll say on that.

2.  Jeffy is from Oklahoma.  Also from Oklahoma?  Bobby Cox and Braden Looper.  Just saying.

3.  His nickname is “Soup.”  Can’t you see him pulling a George Costanza, ordering soup at a restaurant with some of his friends, and looking around being like “Well, I’m just a soup kind of guy.  Love that Soup.  It even sounds like the beginning of my last name!  You might as well call me Soup!” And then after years and years (and after he got that $42 million pay day), his friends finally relent just to shut him up about it?  Right?

4.  During the 2006 World Series, Suppan appeared in a remarkably dishonest television ad encouraging Missouri citizens to vote against a state amendment that would allow stem cell research that is legal under federal law.  Jeff Suppan clearly hates Michael J. Fox, Muhammad Ali, and, you know, curing diseases. 

5.  He owns a restaurant in LA called “Soup’s Grill,” which serves, according to Wikipedia, “Philly cuisine, including cheesesteaks and dressed fries.”  Way to contribute to the national obesity problem, Jeff.  You’re a real American hero.
