Giving Ozzie the benefit of the doubt, Dustin has had a bad back and maybe it flared up but he was put in as an emergency. We don't have 73 victories as an accident, I say let's stick with em through thick and thin.
According to the Trib:
"Hermanson would have started the ninth if his back had felt fine.
But left-hander Damaso Marte relieved Politte and walked Jason Giambi and Tino Martinez, both left-handed hitters, forcing Guillen to use Hermanson.
After the game, Hermanson sported a thick wrap around his lower back while revealing his back started aching last weekend when he saved three games during a four-day span.
"It's nothing I want to pitch with, but I'll do everything I can to get through this," Hermanson said."

I just want to apologize then for acting like an ass while the situation was happening.
