I hope Carlos Gomez crushes one and stares at it for 5 minutes well Brian McCann boils with rage.

Oh poo poo I didn't even think of the potential McCann vs Gomez shenanigans. This needs to happen, especially if it's like a go-ahead homer in the top of the ninth.

Not to mention the benches clearing this season when Gomez disrespected the game by tossing his bat in frustration after flying out.

Carlos Gomez is a cool dude and I hope he makes the Yankees very angry.

Correct, the Imperial March is always on loop at Yankee Stadium and had nothing to do with the Astros.
