For five games, the Yankees mostly sat back and waited for home runs. Sometimes they came, like Alex Rodriguez's game-tying shot in the 11th inning of Game Two. And sometimes they didn't, like when the Bronx Bombers stranded 10 base runners in Game Five.But in their 5-2 American League Championship Series-clinching win on Sunday night, New York took a page out of the Angels' book by playing small ball.For years, Los Angeles has been the Yanks' nemesis, frustrating the Pinstripes with their aggressive base running and willingness to sacrifice at-bats for the betterment of the team.But in Game Six, that's exactly what the Yankees did.Down 1-0 in the fourth inning, the struggling Nick Swisher stepped to the plate with a runner on first and no one out. On the first pitch, he squared around to bunt, but pulled it back and took a ball. With the infield now slightly drawn in, he grounded a single through the left side.That brought up Melky Cabrera, who laid down a perfect bunt to advance the runners to second and third, and put the pressure on Angels starter Joe Saunders, who walked Derek Jeter to load the bases.Johnny Damon then picked up the biggest hit of the game, driving in two with a base hit to left center, and A-Rod later walked with the bases juiced to complete the three-run rally.Clinging to a 3-2 lead in the eighth and needing to get an insurance run for Mariano Rivera, who was about to head out for his second inning of work, Robinson Cano led off with a walk.This time Swisher did get down the bunt and everyone was safe when second baseman Howie Kendrick dropped the ball at first.Cabrera followed with his second sacrifice of the night, and like often happens when a pitcher is forced to make a play in the field, Scott Kazmir threw the ball away, allowing Cano to score the Yankees' fourth run.Mark Teixeira later hit a sac fly to ice the game at 5-2.See, you don't always need the long ball to win. Sometimes small ball works just as well.Here are the grades from the pennant-clinching victory at Yankee Stadium. Joe Girardi, Manager: (A) I didn't agree with all the moves Girardi made in Game Six, but for the most part, they worked out. The first of which was starting Andy Pettitte, when, because of the rain out on Saturday, he could've given the ball to CC Sabathia on normal rest. The risk paid off as Pettitte pitched well and the Yankees can now use Sabathia in Game One of the World Series against the Phillies on Wednesday.Like in Game Three, I thought Pettitte could've stayed in the game a little longer, but when Juan Rivera reached on a bloop single to right with one out in the seventh, the manager pulled his starter in favor of Joba Chamberlain, who had not pitched particularly well of late. He did on this night, however, inducing a pair of ground outs to end the frame.Then, since Joba did such a good job, I thought the skipper could've hung with him a little longer until he let someone to reach in the eighth, thus sparing Rivera from having to pitch two full innings. Girardi opted to have Mo start the eighth, and while he did bend, he did not break.Finally, Girardi made me proud with those three sac bunts. Derek Jeter, SS: (B+) The captain went 0-for-2, including a disappointing comebacker that failed to score a runner from third with no one out in the eighth, but he scored a run and walked three times in a postseason game for the first time in his Hall-of-Fame career. Johnny Damon, LF: (A+) Damon was 2-for-4 with a walk and delivered the biggest hit in the game - a two-run single in the fourth. After a poor Division Series, the left fielder bounced back nicely to hit .300 in the ALCS. Mark Teixeira, 1B: (A) Teixeira went 2-for-4 with a sac fly and made a great diving stop to help out Rivera in the eighth. Still, he's just 8-for-39 (.205) this postseason, and the Yankees will look for him to finally break out in the Fall Classic. Alex Rodriguez, 3B: (A) A-Rod reached all five times with two singles and three walks, including one with the bases loaded. He had a tremendous series, hitting .429 with six RBI, but I believe Sabathia deserved the MVP Award he won a little more for single-handedly winning two of the four games for the Yanks. Jorge Posada, C: (D) Posada made it very easy for the Angels to pitch around A-Rod as he had a dreadful night at the plate, going 0-for-5 with a strikeout and two double plays. I'll give him some credit for catching a good game, but someone needs to step up in the No 5 hole to give Rodriguez some protection vs. POINT MUGU, Calif., Jan 22, 2009 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. McLaren's midseason turnaround will likely go down as one of the greatest in Formula One history.While Brawn GP and Red Bull Racing have established themselves as the dominant forces in 2009, Ferrari and McLaren have come back to challenge, both teams taking race wins in the second half of the season.It appears that Formula One is set for a four-team fight next season.Felipe Massa will be anxious to show that he is still a capable championship challenger, and he will have to be to fight off Fernando Alonso, his incoming teammate at Ferrari.The driver situation at Brawn GP still appears up in the air, but Jenson Button is not likely to find a faster car for next season and will almost certainly continue at Brawn. 31."Those in attendance at Davos may differ on some issues, but we can allagree that agriculture -- a 10,000-year-old human innovation -- must play avital role in addressing some of our most pressing modern challenges," Woertzsays.Observing that the developing world has lagged far behind developednations in agricultural productivity, Woertz will call for a comprehensiveframework for growth to help narrow the gap.
