Kansas baseball team to seek new walk-ons during tryouts
The tryout will take plac at 3:00 p.m.
Saturday at Hoglund Ballpark.
Tryout participants were to have provided a photo ID and insurance card, taken a physical exam in the last six months, and filled out paperwork ahead of time in order to attend the tryout.
Preliminary cuts are expected to be made Saturday and a series of cuts will follow to determine if any participants will be asked to walk-on.

Every sports reporter picked Texas over Missouri and Texas A&M over Baylor. So, anyone looking for an upset that would give you a one-game advantage on the field should go with the Tigers or Bears.

State, and USC rather than Arizona State. So again, going against popular strategy could pay off in these games.
Every other football game was a toss-up, and a bold pick won't make the most difference in these match uns.

A major Major League weekend
Alissa: How sad is it that anyone would think of watching football this weekend? Seriously, I live for weekends like this one.
Matt: You sound like a Major League Baseball commercial. I think you may be disappointed, Bauer. What once looked like an unbelievable weekend, with New York at Boston and Chicago at Cleveland may turn out to be meaningless by Saturday or Sunday.
ALISSA BAUER AND MATT WILSON sports@kansan.com
Alissa: If you mean disappointing because of the anti-climactic week-end ahead in Boston, then okay. There's an awful lot of hype going on for a division race that will end with the Yankees up by three games. But you're really not excited about Cleveland and Chicago? They're so back and forth on who's going to burn out faster that it can't be disappointing.
Matt: Yeah, the Southsiders have
been limping their way toward October since the All-Star break. Even though they hung on, they don't appear to be a threat to win the American League pennant. But neither do the Yankees.
The National League is pretty much set. The best story is San Diego. How funny is it that they have won the West and could end up with
It's the Angels in the AL. They have a chance this weekend to own home-field advantage throughout the playoffs because of the AL winning the All-Star game. With Bartolo Colon and company, plus that gaudy bullpen led by Francisco Rodriguez, they will be very tough to beat. But enough about the AL:
a losing record? Bold prediction; San Diego over St. Louis in the NL Division Series.
Alissa: Your hatred for the Yanks and the Cardinals is showing more than I can stomach right now. As much as it frustrates me that the NL West is even allowed to send a team to the playoffs this year, I applaud your bold prediction. I'm sorry, but you know I can't just let you say the Angels are going to roll.
Okay, so the Yankees aren't sending any starting pitchers to the Cy Young race this season, but L.A. isn't going to hang on and do well. Call it the Cleveland Indians' syndrome, if you will, because I think both will be infected by Oct. 4th.
Matt: I think you're infected with something, but that's for another discussion. I agree the Indians are probably done. They can't keep up the pace they set the last month or so. I do think the Angels are for real, though. They have been the steadiest
team in the AL this year. What you haven't addressed is who you think will be in the World Series. I'll take the Angels and the Cardinals because I'd be crazy to actually think that the Fightin' Friars could pull the upset of all time.
Alisa: I can hardly wait for the infection talk. I don't hear the phrase "I agree" very often from you, so your call on the Indians has to mean something.
All bias aside, the boys from the Bronx get my vote for the AL, and making their debut in this conversation — the Houston Astros. What do you think about that World Series match-up?
Matt: I think I wouldn't watch it. I mean that in the kindest of ways.
The Hall Center and English Alternative Theatre present
Alissa: Don't deny yourself watching championship number 27 for New York; you'll hate yourself in the morning.
8 PM Saturday Oct. 1 Lawrence Arts Center (940 New Hampshire) Co-Sponsored by the Hall Center for the Humanities, in conjunction with Salman Rushdie's Humanities Lecture on October 6 at the Lied Center.
