TORONTO -- MVP: Most Versatile Pitcher.The humble workhorse in a wipeout bullpen, Andrew Miller was selected AL Championship Series MVP after his latest spotless outing sent the Cleveland Indians to their first pennant since 1997.Miller tossed 2 2/3 innings in a 3-0 victory Wednesday over Toronto, capping a five-game series in which the lanky left-hander overpowered the dangerous Blue Jays.He had one strikeout in Game 5 and finished the series with 14 -- an ALCS record for a reliever. Miller gave up three hits in 7 2/3 shutout innings against Toronto and earned a four-out save in Game 3.At this point of the year, you just find a way. Thats all that matters. Its about winning, Miller said . I would have given up 100 runs if we won 101-100. Thats all that matters is were going to the World Series, and thats a special experience and I cant wait.After capturing their sixth pennant, thanks in large part to Miller, the Indians are four wins from their first championship since 1948.Miller was acquired from the New York Yankees for a package of prospects in a July 31 trade, and Cleveland had an interesting idea of how to feature him. Rather than restricting him to a closer role or using him only in the eighth inning, the Indians have been flexible with Miller -- especially in the postseason.Its so fun to be a part of this team, he said. I really enjoyed my time with the Yankees. Its tough when you leave a comfort zone and a place that you like and people that you like. But I knew I was coming to a team that had won a lot and had expectations to win more.Now, whenever the Indians have a lead in the middle innings, the 6-foot-7 lefty begins looming large in the bullpen -- and Miller time is near.With that nasty slider and a sizzling fastball he spots to both sides of the plate, he struck out 21 of 41 batters during the AL playoffs. He has allowed a mere six hits over 20 scoreless innings in his postseason career.Drafted sixth overall by Detroit out of North Carolina in 2006, Miller was part of the blockbuster deal that sent Miguel Cabrera from the Marlins to the Tigers after the 2007 season. Miller made 66 starts in the majors but never fulfilled his promise until switching to the bullpen. His first full season as a reliever (with Boston in 2012) provided a hint of what was possible.Miller posted a 3.35 ERA in 53 appearances that year, and the following season he dominated hitters with 48 strikeouts in 30 2/3 innings.After stops with Baltimore and the Yankees, Miller ended up in Cleveland, and the Indians had an unorthodox plan for his usage.When they were upstairs in their meetings about the trade talks and they were talking about Andrew, they were actually talking -- and I was in there listening and doing some talking -- just about how he would fit into a bullpen and how you could leverage him, just like we are now, manager Terry Francona said recently. So the thought was alive before we got him. We envisioned using him like we are.There are plenty of other important contributors in the Cleveland bullpen, particularly closer Cody Allen, who had 32 saves during the regular season and hasnt allowed a run in the postseason.In fact, Indians relievers racked up 22 innings in the ALCS -- the same amount as their starters.But its Miller who strikes the most fear in opposing hitters after he whiffed a whopping 14.9 per nine innings this season while going 10-1 with a 1.45 ERA and 12 saves.In the playoff opener against Boston, Miller entered in the fifth inning and pitched into the seventh. That set the tone for an October in which Miller could be available pretty much any time the Indians need him.Miller has tossed 11 2/3 shutout innings in six postseason appearances. Its a workload that might not be sustainable in the regular season, but with off days built into the playoff schedule, this approach has served the Indians well.All that matters are outs. All that matters are wins. It honestly does not matter how we get there, Miller said. And I think top to bottom, this team believes in that.---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtrister Asics Gel Nimbus 19 Hombre .

PETERSBURG, Fla. Asics Gel Nimbus 19 Mujer .com) - The game was all punts and field goals before Kodi Whitfields catch. RIO DE JANEIRO -- The parcel of land housing the Rio de Janeiro Olympic organizing committee headquarters could become the new location for a United States consular office.The organizing committees temporary home in central Rio will be abandoned in the next few weeks when staff move to smaller quarters in downtown Rio. Rio organizers say only 300 employees remain from a peak of about 5,000 when the games opened on Aug. 5. The committee will be dissolved next year.We have narrowed our search and are finalizing a site -- potentially the current space that Rio2016 now occupies, the Rio de Janeiro consulate said in an email to the Associated Press on Thursday.The organizing committee has been in temporary buildings, which would be dismantled in order for a new building to be erected on the property in a part of town called Cidade Nova (New City).The consulate declined to disclose the purchase price, but Rios most influential newspaper, O Globo, put the figure at 180 million reals ($57.3 million).Consular officials said there was no timeline for the move from its 1950s-era building downtown. The statement called the building a beautiful and historic site, but said its no longer suitable for a diplomatic post.Organizing committee spokesman Mario Andrada said there was some shock as the committee beggan to disband.ddddddddddddPeople were happy the way the Olympics ended, but at the beginning of the phase were in now, it was kind of strange, Andrada said. Well move to a smaller office downtown, and eventually all that will remain will be a lawyers office to deal with eventual legal issues.Andrada said the committee has been busy paying bills, and he said some have complained of late payments.In the beginning we had 20,000 different payments to make, either for creditors or for employees, Andrada said. Now we have about 900. So its moving fast.The privately funded organizing committee ran short of money just as the games opened and needed at least a $30 million bailout in public funding to meet its obligations.The organizing committee has said its operating budget was $2.8 billion, which was for running the game themselves.In addition, Brazil is estimated to have spent $10-12 billion in public and private money to ready the city. Much of the private money was lured in by tax concessions and favorable loan terms from government lenders.---Stephen Wade on Twitter: http://twitter.com/StephenWadeAP .His work can be found at http://bigstory.ap.org/content/stephen-wade Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys cheap jerseys Cheap Jersyes Cheap Basketball Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys cheap jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
