The reader that e-mailed you was exactly right. There were some unenlightened fools in the back saying "Yankees Suck", but whenever that gained steam, it was drowned out by "We Want Oakland". Also, some people have written about the excessive celebration that happend. For your benefit (I know you weren't one of them), I just wanted to bring up 2 points.

1. The Red Sox are the only team that is in the AL playoffs this year, that wasn't last year.
2. They didn't celebrate by themselves, they were on the field from 10:14 when the last pitch was thrown until 11:15, when the police started to usher fans out. Players went into the clubhouse, but almost always came back on the field. I honestly think the celebration was for the fans, who are among the most intense in baseball.
