New Ways To Study Development And Disease Following Breakthrough In Cell-Type Analysis

New Ways To Study Development And Disease Following Breakthrough In Cell-Type Analysis 14 Nov 2008 Like skilled assassins, many diseases seem to know exactly what types of cells to attack. While decimating one cadre of cells, diseases will inexplicably spare a seemingly identical group of neighbors. What makes cells vulnerable or not depends largely on the kinds and amounts of proteins they produce - their "translational profile," in the lingo of molecular biology. For this reason, scie

Guessing at contributors for the 2009 Tigers

With the Tigers’ season being over and people starting to anticipate how they are going to try to get better, I figured it would be a good time to look at the guys in the system and consider who it is who might help reach that goal. Who in the Tigers’ system can reasonably be expected to contribute to the team next year? I put together a list and broke the players up into four categories: Opening Day, May, All Star Break and September. The Opening Day players are guys I expect to be on the 25-

"Stop go" by Holmes

“I’ve always enjoyed records that reveal a bit of versatility – ones that draw from a number of different moods and styles” says singer/Songwriter/Producer Holmes (given name Roy Shakked), “My influences vary; my moods vary, and so I like to keep things moving in an attempt try to get a more complete picture”. Holmes’ music career started out in Boston where he worked as a bar pianist and while studying at Berklee College of Music. He then moved to NYC, working as a composer, and now resides

Tigers’ Minor League Recap (8/29 and 8/30)

Toledo August 29 The Mud Hens dropped a 4-0 decision to Columbus in their final home game of the year. Anastacio Martinez (6.1 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 3 BB, 6 K) just missed what could have been a quality start, but was charged with his fourth run when Ian Ostlund (2.2 IP, 3 H, 3 K) let an inherited runner score in the seventh. There obviously wasn’t much to speak of for the offense as they had only five hits. At least three of them were doubles, one each for Timo Perez (2 for 4, 2B), Dusty Ryan (1 fo

Tigers’ Minor League Recap (8/27/08)

Toledo It was like the Mud Hens of old as Toledo beat Columbus, 11-8. The Mud Hens rapped out fourteen hits on their way to scoring eleven, and everybody but leadoff man Freddy Guzman picked up at least one hit. Timo Perez and Mike Hessman hit back-to-back homers in the fourth and they were joined in the multi-hit club by Will Rhymes (2 for 4, BB), Dusty Ryan (2 for 3, 2B, BB) and Erick Almonte (2 for 5). Mike Hollimon (1 for 1, 2 BB) didn’t join the not-so-exclusive club on this day, but he d

Tigers’ Minor League Recap (8/21/08)

Toledo Well, Toledo lost, 7-1, to Norfolk and Louisville won so the Mud Hens won’t be able to win their division. Of course, we’ve really known that for quite some time. This just makes it official. I was thinking the wild card team had a better record than the Bats, but Pawtucket is a little behind Louisville and that means the Hens’ playoff chances won’t be eliminated until some time this weekend or next week. It’s too easy of a joke but this disappointing start for Yorman Bazardo (6 IP, 10

Tigers’ Minor League Recap (8/12/08)

Toledo Day off. Erie The SeaWolves beat New Britain, 9-3. This recent hot streak reminds me of early in the season when they had among the best records in the Eastern League by way of pounding opponents into submission. The Wolves’ first two runs came in the first inning when Will Rhymes (3 for 5, 2B), Casper Wells (1 for 3, 3B, 2 BB) and Wilkin Ramirez (3 for 4, BB) went double, triple, single to start off the game. A couple innings later, the Rock Cats homered off Luis Marte (6 IP, 7 H, 3

Tigers’ Minor League Recap (8/2 and 8/3)

Toledo August 2, Toledo 3, Indianapolis 11 Anastacio Martinez (1.2 IP, 7 H, 6 R, 1 BB, 2 K) dug the team into a hole quickly and when Jeremy Johnson (3.1 IP, 6 H, 5 R, 2 BB, 3 K) came out in the second inning, he didn’t help a great deal. Three innings into this one the Hens were already down by eight. Toledo finally started to make some noise in the fourth. Brent Clevlen (0 for 1, 2 BB) walked and that was followed by a double from Jeff Larish (1 for 4, 2B). Erick Almonte’s (0 for 4) groun

Sweating Bullets: Mets 4, Marlins 1

Sweating Bullets: Mets 4, Marlins 1 by Eric Simon on Jul 29, 2008 10:35 PM EDT in Aftermath Nice win for the Mets, even if it wasn't a terribly exciting game for anyone. Scott Olsen was sweating buckets early on to the point that I was actually uncomfortable watching it (thanks for nothing, SNYHD!). He was mercifully pulled before the ground crew had to be called out to add that super-absorbent sand to the pitching mound that they usually reserve for after rain delays. Oliver Perez wa

Tigers’ Minor League Recap (7/25-7/27)

Toledo 7/25, Pawtucket 3, Toledo 2 Toledo fell behind 3-0, but got a little bit of offense going late to fall just short of the comeback. Yorman Bazardo (7 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 3 BB, 6 K) pitched well, but was burned for all three runs on a couple of homers. Derek Wathan’s (1 for 3, 3B) triple was the team’s only extra base hit and it scored Max St. Pierre (1 for 3). Brent Clevlen (1 for 4) scored the team’s other run the next inning, but it was on a double play ball that kind of doused the team’s

Tigers’ Minor League Recap (7/23/08)

Toledo (58-47, 3 GB) Anastacio Martinez (6.1 IP, 11 H, 9 R, 2 BB, 3 K) was blistered in a 9-6 loss to Rochester. I’d say the Mud Hens are going to be glad to get out of Minnesota New York (thanks to reader, Jeremy). They tagged Martinez for three home runs, but those only accounted for four of the nine runs he allowed. After falling behind 9-0, the Mud Hens did make things interesting with a six run eighth. After Brent Clevlen (0 for 3, BB) was hit by a pitch, Jeff Larish (0 for 4, BB) walked
