Good news @Astros fans: @MattressMack is bringing the Rally Nuns back for Game 1 of the #WorldSeries 🙏

McIngvale had to purchase a hefty amount of WS tickets. Read more here: bit.ly/2ZvCeVs
The Astros are 2-0 in the playoffs when Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale brings nuns from the Dominican Sisters of Mary Immaculate Province to the game.

That's the type of streak with which you don't tinker.
chron.com/sports/astros/…
McIngvale put the nuns up in the Coca-Cola suite above center field for Game 1 of the American League Championship Series against the Red Sox and the Astros rallied late for the win.
After that win, people started calling them the "Rally Nuns," so McIngvale brought 60 of them back for Friday's Game 6, which the Astros won to advance to the World Series.
"Ever since we won Game 1, everyone's been asking me if I can bring the Sisters back for another game," McIngvale said.
"They're a great group. They love the Astros and they have a lot of fun, so I knew we needed to bring them back for another big win as we head back to the World Series."

Will the Rally Nuns help the Astros win Game 1 of the #WorldSeries?

While celebrating a new Gigfacility in Grünheide, Germany at the Gigafactory Berlin-Brandenburg County Fair, the Tesla founder announced a new venture outside of his fascinations with cars, space, meme cryptocurrency and moving to Texas: Giga Bier.
chron.com/food/article/e…
The upcoming brew was blurted out as an afterthought to everything else Tesla is up to these days, but Musk did offer a preview of the beer, clad in a futuristic bottle that no koozie will ever be able to hold.

This sign at a bar in East Downtown didn't last long. trib.al/fbN0gSI
Truck Yard is reeling from backlash over a marquee sign posted Monday that drew criticism from Houston cyclists and advocacy groups.
chron.com/news/houston-t…
The sign was quickly replaced with a message cheering on the Astros in their World Series run, but not before advocates were able to grab a screenshot of a Facebook post from the bar showing off the doomed marquee.

It was absolutely no fun watching J.J. Watt celebrate his tackle for a loss and then again for his hit on Texans quarterback Davis Mills.
chron.com/sports/texans/…
It stung just as bad to see DeAndre Hopkins catch a touchdown pass against his former team.

It was that kind of day for the Texans, who lost to the Cardinals 31-5 Sunday.
chron.com/sports/texans/…
Watching Watt and Hopkins walk off the field side-by-side, all smiles didn't help either.

But memes help.
