Markieff out for a week after hernia
MEN'S BASKETBALL
— ESPN
Junior forward Markieff Morris underwent hernia surgery yesterday, and it will keep him out of practice for seven to 10 days, according to coach Bill Self.
"Markieff is having the most minor of surgeries," Self said in a release. "You never want guys
Mk. Morris
to miss any time, but we're probably talking about missing seven days of practice. He should be able to run and shoot
within days, be full-speed within seven to 10 days."
Self said there will be two rest days during Morris' recovery, so he'll only miss seven days of practice.
If all goes as planned, Morris should be ready to go when the Jayhawks open the season Nov. 2 at Allen Fieldhouse.

MORNING BREW
Pitchers, step up to the plate
As the final series in the Fall Classic nears, baseball is faced again with the controversy of the designated hitter
rule.
The speculation of the clear American League advantage could be easily sidelined if the MLB would once and for all banish DHs.
All the rule does is give burned out players two or three extra years of "batting practice" to increase,or,in some cases,decrease their hitting statistics.
Perhaps this rule is why American League teams have won 21 of the 36 World Series played since the DH rule was instituted.
General managers know that if it weren't for this rule players such as Jim Thome, Jack Cust and Travis Hafner would no longer have careers in the majors.
At one point all three of those players were studs, but their days of highlight reel defensive plays are long gone and all that remains is their muscle strength to power the ball out of the park.
BY BLAKE SCHUSTER
bschuster@kansan.com
Some DH's have pinch runners take over their place if they reach base to produce a better scoring chance. While this is legal, it is a dishonor to the game.
Players should be responsible for helping their teams on both offense and defense.
The rule is a joke in its simplest form.
Pitchers should have a chance to make up runs that they let up.
It is unfair that a pitcher, who may not be a great hitter, can have proven batters take his place in the lineup.
The idea that the DH rule protects pitchers is a sham.
Pitchers are given plenty of days off to recuperate; the least they could do on offense is place a bunt down every three innings to help their team every five days.
In a world where a Monday Night Football game between Jacksonville and Tennessee gets a higher overnight rating than an ALCS game, something needs to be done to spark fan interest.
Pitchers are the focal point of all baseball games. To have a pitcher be a threat on both sides of the ball only makes the game more interesting.
Eliminating the DH rule would do just that. Don't get me wrong — I love the home runs these players knock out of the park. But
I would be way more impressed if a pitcher did it.
Without this rule, players like Carlos Zambrano become a higher commodity than Johnny Damon.
From my standpoint the Giants and Phillies are better overall teams than the Rangers and the Yankees, but I would not be surprised one bit if the AL wins the World Series. After all, the millions of dollars that are spent on burned out superstar hitters pay dividends when it counts. It's just too bad for the National League.

TAMPA, Fla. — Matt Moulson scored a delayed, video-reviewed goal in overtime to give the New York Islanders a 3-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night.
Islanders win after officials review play
Moulson was credited with an in-close goal at 1:56. Officials reviewing the play ruled that the puck went off the glove of goalie Dan Ellis and completely over the goal line before Ellis swiped the puck back into play.
The review, which occurred at the next stoppage of play at 3:28 of overtime, took about 10
NHL
minutes.
Michael Grabner and Pierre Parenteau also scored for the Islanders.
The Lightning got goals from Sean Bergenheim and Martin St. Louis.

CORRECTION
The Kansan regrets a production error that caused low-quality photos to be printed in this week's edition of The Wave.
Recruits ignore KU for OSU and Baylor
No. 4 recruit in the country LeBryan Nash sported a floppy orange cowboy hat as he committed to play for Oklahoma State and coach Travis Ford. Nash's halfbrother Byron Eaton also played at the school. He chose Oklahoma State over Kansas and Baylor, who
pulled two commitments despite missing Nash.
Baylor landed No. 5 recruit Quincy Miller and No. 43 recruit Deuce Bello, high school teammates and roommates in North Carolina. Neither player was considering Kansas, though Miller did have a message for the rest of the Big 12 on the ESPNU broadcast.
"We're going to be the best next year," he said.

Sands arrested, posts $441 bond
— Tim Dwyer
KU running back Deshaun Sands was arrested Thursday morning on outstanding warrants for failing to appear in court. Two warrants were issued for Sands after he missed court appearances stemming from separate traffic violations this summer. The first was from June 29 when
Thursday was a big day for Big 12 recruiting. Just not for the Kansas Jayhawks.
Sands failed to provide a valid driver's license or insurance. The second incident occurred on August 6 when he was suspected of speeding. Sands posted the two separate bonds totaling $441 and was released later Thursday morning.
