No pressure

No pressure at all. When you boss says your job is on the line, you better deliver. When your boss is George Steinbrenner, and your name is Joe Torre, your margin of error is tiny. The Boss called out Torre, saying he'd better win tonight, avoid a sweep by the Cleveland Indians, or you'll be singing "Happy Trails." Any thoughts of the Boss being incapacitated, not knowing what's going on, were swept away. He understands drama, how to motivate. It's a helluva way to do it, but it can be effective.
