BALTIMORE, Maryland - Instead of going home to Kentucky, where his family had planned for him an elaborate 30th birthday party, Steve Delabar will spend the last day of his 20s in New York City as a member of the American League All-Star team. Anthony Munoz Womens Jersey . Delabar won the "Final Vote," an mlb.com and Twitter campaign for fans to select the last members of the AL and NL rosters. Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman is the National League winner. What a way to ring in the next decade of your life. "When we landed (in Baltimore) my phone just blew up," said Delabar, who turns 30 on Wednesday. "I had 50 texts. I flip over to Twitter and it said that Freddie Freeman myself and I are in and I was like, this is pretty cool. I just nonchalantly showed Casey (Janssen) the Twitter and he was like, youre in, congratulations buddy! Then they made an announcement on the plane and (Im thinking) this is pretty cool." Three years ago Delabar was working as a substitute teacher and an assistant high school baseball coach. The year prior, hed broken his elbow pitching in a game for the Brockton Rox, an independent league team. A steel plate and nine screws later, the surgery to repair his arm was complete. Back to playing softball with buddies, Delabar began to learn an arm strengthening program created by Jamie Evans. His intent was to teach the program to the pitchers he was coaching. Instead, he found his own velocity returning. He caught on with the Mariners in 2011 after impressing in a tryout. He was acquired by the Blue Jays on July 30, 2012, for Eric Thames. Evans is now employed by the Blue Jays as a consultant and Casey Janssen, Brett Cecil and Dustin McGowan are among the disciples of his arm strengthening program. Asked what he would have told you on a summer day in 2010 if youd suggested hed be going to the 2013 All-Star Game and Delabar laughs. "Where do I pick up my ticket," joked Delabar. "I probably would have laughed and said yeah right. I would have envisioned myself being in the softball all star game before I would be here. Its crazy the things that can happen in a short period of time and to be where I am right now and like I tell everybody, Im blessed to here." The Blue Jays bullpen, as it has for much of the season, leads the league with 327 2/3 innings pitched. Its 20 wins are ranked second in the majors and its 2.97 ERA, the only stat in this paragraph which reflects positively on the ballclub, is fourth. "Its a well deserved honour," said manager John Gibbons. "To have two guys going from your bullpen who are not in the closers role, which is very rare anyway, speaks volumes to what theyve done, the kind of years theyre having. Theyve both been real strong go-to guys and have had tremendous years." Delabar hinted that Munenori Kawasaki was his campaign manager in the lead up to the final vote. "Im happy," said Kawasaki. "Delabar and me played in Seattle together, last year in Seattle. Hes my friend. "Im watching All-Star on TV." Delabar will have his parents, Steve and Debbe, his wife, baby daughter and in-laws with him in New York. Tyler Eifert Womens Jersey . But Bourque, who has missed three games with a lower-body injury, wont be in the lineup when the Habs travel to Buffalo to take on the Sabres on Wednesday. Vontaze Burfict Bengals Jersey .H. -- Matt Kenseth made it 2 for 2 in the Chase, holding off teammate Kyle Busch to win Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. http://www.bengalsauthenticproshop.com/Youth-Tyler-Eifert-Bengals-Jersey/ . -- Jacksonville wide receiver Cecil Shorts will likely be a game-time decision whether hell play Sunday in the Jaguars home game against the San Diego Chargers. USC, trying to turn around a 1-2 start to the season, is making a change at quarterback, replacing Max Browne with redshirt freshman Sam Darnold for Friday nights game at No. 24 Utah.Browne, a redshirt junior who waited three seasons behind Cody Kessler for his chance, has presided over a sputtering offense that managed a total of just 16 points in losses to No. 1 Alabama and then-No. 7 Stanford.Those are two rugged defenses, and the Trojans get another Friday night in a Pac-12 South matchup at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City, Utah. The game starts at 9 p.m. ET.Utah is off to a 3-0 start for the third consecutive season, beating Southern Utah, BYU and San Jose State. The Utes, which cracked the rankings this week for the first time this season, have a somewhat familiar look: An inconsistent offense and an aggressive defense.The performance at San Jose State last week brought back memories of Utahs Sack Lake City defense from a couple of years ago. The Utes 10 sacks in a 34-17 victory tied for the second-best mark in school history.Eight different players accounted for the sacks despite the unit losing starting defensive end Kylie Fitts (foot) earlier last week. Fitts is out for the rest of the season and will seek a medical hardship year.Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham said first-year defensive coordinator Morgan Scalley is more apt to bring pressure than former coordinator John Pease.First of all, our defensive line is a good group, Whittingham said of a group anchored by tackle Lowell Lotulelei, a potential first-round pick. Theyre talented, physical and we felt going into the season that they were going to be a strong suit for us and thats proving to be the case. They were a little bit quiet the first week, but theyre starting to make some more noise.A defense that ranks second nationally with 15 sacks awaits Darnold, who lost a camp competition to Browne but did appear in each of the first three games, although it was only in a mop-up role last week.I want to see a spark in our offense, and I hope that Sam can bring that, USC coach Clay Heltonn said. Vontaze Burfict Jersey. . Im confident in it after three games of watching him perform.Browne has completed 55 of 87 passes for 474 yards, with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Darnold is 14 of 22 for 136 yards and two touchdowns, with one interception.Darnolds dual-threat ability could provide the spark USC is looking for, and it might also help that cornerback Adoree Jackson could dabble at receiver for about five or six plays. Hes played on both sides of the ball in his first two seasons, but the original plan was to limit him to defense and the return game in 2016.Browne told reporters Monday night he is likely to transfer as a graduate student after this season.It surprised me for sure, he said of the demotion. Id be lying if I said otherwise. ... But Ill be ready. I owe it to my teammates.Utahs offense is retooling around junior quarterback Troy Williams, a transfer from Washington and Santa Monica College. He has completed 54 of 86 passes for 723 yards and four touchdowns, but he also has been picked off four times. Utah has fumbled nine times, losing five. The Utes rank 122nd out of 128 teams with the nine lost turnovers.In a departure from their recent offenses, the Utes have thrown the long ball more, and Williams has delivered completions of 30-plus yards to five different receivers. Wide receiver Tim Patrick has 14 receptions for 285 yards and all four of Utahs receiving touchdowns.Whittingham said the enhancement of the passing game has allowed his running game to be more potent. Running backs Troy McCormick, Zack Moss and Armand Shyne combined for 201 rushing yards against San Jose State -- but none is dynamic as the departed Devontae Booker.And USCs defense, led by Jackson and linebacker Cameron Smith, has much more ability than any opponent Utah has faced this year.Theyre a very talented team, probably the most talented 1-2 team in the country, Whittingham said. Theyre very dangerous and have a lot of weapons.
