Mostly valuable

Congratulations to Paul Konerko for winning the ALCS MVP, even if in all the excitement he seems to have forgotten what the letters stand for:

''You can split up [the MVP] about 10 different ways,'' Konerko said. ''I mean, four complete games in a row, you have to be kidding me. But I know who the real MVP is, and that's our pitching. I'm still going to respect it and I'll honor it, but it's all about team here.''
