NEW YORK -- Bartolo Colon and Max Scherzer are headed to the All-Star Game, picked as replacements for other pitchers originally selected to the National League team. Air Jordan 5 Wholesale .Major League Baseball also announced Friday that Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Michael Saunders and San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt won the final two All-Star roster spots, elected by fans in online balloting.This is a proud moment for me and my family, Saunders said. Everyone knows that Canada takes care of their own. Im Canadian through and through. Just to feel that support, the best way I can describe, everyones been asking me, is I feel loved by this country. To see the support they gave me is very humbling.Saunders joins the American League team, while Belt gets a slot on the NL squad.Extremely excited, obviously. Its hard to put into words, Belt said. I just cant believe that Im an All-Star this year. Its pretty cool, especially when you step back and think about how many fans voted and how many times they voted, how many messages that I got of how their thumbs were numb. Its pretty overwhelming to think about.The 43-year-old Colon was chosen to replace Madison Bumgarner in Tuesdays showcase in San Diego because the Giants ace is scheduled to pitch Sunday against Arizona.A fan favorite with the New York Mets, Colon is 7-4 with a 3.28 ERA. He was picked by his own manager -- Terry Collins of the Mets will lead the NL team.It means a lot, especially for someone my age, Colon said through a translator. It surprised me a lot.In one of the most stunning and charming moments of the season, Colon homered in San Diego in early May, becoming the oldest player to hit his first major league home run.The hefty right-hander said his fourth All-Star nod (first in the NL) was very meaningful to him because hes in the final stages of his career. He said hed like to pitch one more season in the majors if healthy.When I asked him if he wanted to go the All-Star Game, he said yes. He didnt say, hey, I need to rest, Im 43 years old, Im shot. He said, `Thank you, Id like to go. So hes going to go, Collins said, drawing laughs.Scherzer (9-6, 3.21 ERA, major league-leading 155 strikeouts) was selected to his fourth straight All-Star Game. He will substitute for Washington Nationals teammate Stephen Strasburg, who came off the disabled list this week and wont pitch in the showcase as a precaution. Strasburg, who is from San Diego, plans to attend the game, the Nationals said.Max was excited. Never seen a veteran guy as elated as he, to be a part of the All-Star Game, Washington manager Dusty Baker said. I think hes a good representative to show people what a privilege and an honor it is to go.Strasburg (12-0) started Friday night and beat the New York Mets 3-1 in his second outing since coming off the DL. He returned from an upper back strain Sunday against Cincinnati.Because of Stephens injury that he just came off of, being on three days rest, it would have cost him time again with us, Baker said. So Im just glad that hes going, especially in his hometown. But theres a lot of risk for Stephen since he just came off the DL and you dont know how hes going to come through this game tonight. So everybody decided itd be better that he doesnt start or pitch.Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte finished second just behind Belt, who received 10.4 million votes. He also beat out Colorado rookie shortstop Trevor Story, Arizona third baseman Jake Lamb and Milwaukee outfielder Ryan Braun.Houston outfielder George Springer was runner-up to Saunders, who garnered 17.7 million votes. Behind them were Boston second baseman Dustin Pedroia, Detroit second baseman Ian Kinsler and Tampa Bay third baseman Evan Longoria.---AP freelance writers Ian Harrison in Toronto and Mike Wagaman in San Francisco contributed to this report.

The sentencing comes more than a year after the trio accepted sex bribes from prostitutes arranged by Singaporean businessman Eric Ding Si Yang, 31, in exchange for fixing the April 3 Asian Football Confederation Cup match. Assistant referees Ali Eid, 33, Abdallah Taleb, 37, and referee Ali Sabbagh, 34, were abruptly pulled off the field and have been detained in Singapores Changi Prison ever since. All three were denied bail. In sentencing Eid and Taleb, Judge Low Wee Ping said: "The fact that you are international officials in my view, is already an aggravating factor." But Low acknowledged the "strong mitigating factor" that both men had pleaded guilty and said they could be released later Monday or Tuesday due to good behaviour and time served while awaiting ttheir sentence.

Low added he needed time to consider Sabbaghs sentence. Ding was charged with corruption in May and was granted bail of 150,000 Singapore dollars ($119,000). State prosecutors also indicated "a clear international dimension" to the offences committed by the trio.

Last May, Singapore authorities charged a top referee and a former Malaysia international with conspiring to fix a Malaysian Super League match. In another closely watched case, Singapore national Wilson Raj Perumal, who had ties to Asian and Eastern European gambling syndicates, was jailed in Finland for match-fixing. Serial match-fixer Dan Tan Seet Eng, accused of heading a crime syndicate that made millions of dollars betting on rigged Italian matches has been reportedly assisting the authorities in ongoing investigations.
