Narrative:
After pushing from gate we began our taxi for runway 9L using minimum power as noted in the company page for departures from that gate. Another air carrier's flight then informed ground that the MD80 that just left the ramp had blown some items over on their ramp. While I checked with operations to see if they could check, the captain queried ground for more details. Ground could not see the ramp, but the other air carrier said that it had been some items on a maintenance stand. We had started both engines and I honestly don't believe we could have been any easier on the power.
