New York Mets on insane win streak thanks to Backyard Baseball legend Pablo Sanchez
The greatest player in the history of Backyard Baseball is Pablo Sanchez. If anyone tells you otherwise, they are wrong.
Why's this significant? Because Sanchez is at the origin of the New York Mets' winning streak.
Sanchez, a mascot-sized version of him, showed up at Citi Field on July 20.
Since then, the Mets are 7-0.

That includes a come-from-behind win in San Francisco on Sunday Night Baseball that included a tying home run from Ronny Mauricio, a go-ahead home run from Juan Soto and a bases-loaded escape in the bottom of the ninth by Edwin Diaz.
The Mets' fanbase loves latching on to inspirational, fictional figures. Remember how they worshipped Grimace last year?
Pablo definitely deserves that adulation, especially as long as the Mets keep winning in his honor.

Steelers' Mike Tomlin preseason press conference ends in hilarious silence
The post-game press conference, a perfect opportunity for reporters to ask all the hard-hitting questions — or not? Following the Pittsburgh Steelers' 31-25 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in their preseason opener on Saturday, Mike Tomlin opened the floor for reporters to ask anything about the game — and what happened next was nothing short of hilarious: no one asked a single question, leaving the Steelers head coach smiling as the press conference ended in almost record time. Reporters might've had all their questions answered by the Steelers' strong performance in the preseason opener — one that featured several standouts on both offense and defense. The Steelers have another preseason matchup next Saturday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 7:00 PM EST — but it remains to be seen when 20-year veteran Aaron Rodgers will make his Pittsburgh debut.

Dr. Phil's Road From Oprah to ICE Raids
My session with Dr. Phil had reached an impasse. About three hours in, seated inside the Dallas mega-mansion where he is steering his herky-jerk transition from daytime TV behemoth to MAGA-friendly newsman, the once-licensed psychologist was giving no ground on what seemed to me an obvious point. 'I don't think I'm qualified to talk about politics,' he said, steepling his fingers in contemplation. And so, he insisted, he really hadn't. This was difficult to square with recent events. In the last two years, Dr. Phil (surname: McGraw) had ended his flagship talk show and created his own news and entertainment network, trafficking daily in conservative-coded subjects — 'Dr. Phil: The Hidden Gem in Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill,'' 'Dr. Phil Investigates: Are Schools Secretly Transitioning Your Child?' — in an unswerving crusade against 'the woke left.' He had spoken glowingly of President Trump as an invited guest at Mr. Trump's Madison Square Garden campaign rally, at a White House faith event and at a recent Texas flood briefing, where the president interrupted himself after spotting Dr. Phil — 'There's Dr. Phil. Look at Dr. Phil. You're looking good, Phil. This is a hell of a situation, isn't it?' — and later asked him to address the bereaved. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
