No. BUT the Yankee fans also booed JD Drew after his HR (which got the AL back into the game) and when he won the MVP (which helped the AL get homefield).
Yankee fans felt it was better to boo Drew than applaud the AL winning - I guess that make sense if you are resigned to the fact that it won't matter anyway - Yankee fans must see their team has a minute chance at the WS.
[quote[I guess Papelbon expected everyone to cheer him after his comments.
What kind of reception do you think Arod would have gotten if he came out and said he was better than Manny and Boston should have signed him and let Manny go? Wake up.[/quote]
Nope - he deserved to be booed - but I don't think it was that big of a deal especially when Rivera has come out and said he wasn't offended by it.
Also - what justification do you use for the Yankee fans to boo Francona?
