No boos for Pedro

BOSTON -- Boo Pedro Martinez, as some had been advocating prior to the Mets' visit here?

Guess the sellout crowd in attendance tonight at Fenway Park missed the memo.

Martinez was given a raucous standing ovation as he made his way to the Mets' dugout after warming up. The cheers started as soon as he left the New York bullpen, and continued as he walked across the field.

He acknowledged the fans near second base, waving his left hand to the crowd. Then, with a right hand covered with a towel, he touched his heart several times.

However, just so everyone knew where their loyalties lie, the Sox fans also gave a rousing ovation to Josh Beckett, the Red Sox' starter, as he left the bullpen.
