SARASOTA, Fla. - In an otherwise meaningless exhibition against an obviously undermanned Spain World Baseball Classic team, Orioles manager Buck Showalter accomplished something important Wednesday afternoon. He found work for relievers Jim Johnson , Darren O'Day and Luis Ayala - all of whom were key parts of the club's outstanding bullpen in 2012 and all of whom had not pitched in a game this spring. Showalter wants to keep their innings and workload down, but he also has to get them ready for April.

On January 27, 2005, DARREN. Vistation at 2140 N. Fulton Ave., on Wednesday, 4 to 8 P.M. The family will receive friends in the chapel on Thursday at 10 A.M. Funeral at 10:30 A.M.

As Darren O'Day spoke to the media on Monday about his new two-year deal, Orioles pitching coach Rick Adair and bullpen coach Bill Castro beamed from the back row. Coaches aren't ones to sit in on news conferences often, but it showed how coveted the Orioles' sidearm reliever has become. The Orioles are making a $5.8 million investment in O'Day. He was the team's most consistent relief pitcher last season, able to work his way out of a jam, as well as hold a lead. He could come in for one batter or pitch two innings.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Everyone knew that a Flutie would lead his team into the Grey Cup, but it wasn't supposed to be this one.Instead of "The Magic Flutie," we get "The Other Flutie."Doug Flutie, the Calgary Stampeders' star quarterback and three-time winner of his league's Most Outstanding Player award, was denied a berth in Sunday's championship game against the Baltimore CFLs when younger brother Darren caught a 4-yard touchdown pass with no time remaining to give the B.C. Lions a 37-36 victory in the Western Division final.

ANAHEIM, Calif. - What's cuter than a Rally Monkey and much better luck for the San Francisco Giants? Little Darren, the world's smallest bat boy, that's what. The word from Edison International Field yesterday was that Little Darren will indeed be back in the Giants' dugout tonight for Game 6 of this World Series. The Giants' good-luck charm - and son of manager Dusty Baker - is allowed. There had been some question about that. "I did have a conversation with Dusty over the occurrence," Major League Baseball's vice president of baseball operations, Sandy Alderson, said yesterday.

It's another chilly day here in Sarasota. Driving into the Orioles spring training facility, it was a brisk 37 degrees. The sun is out however - as are the palm trees - which makes up for the chill. Twelve pitchers will throw bullpen sessions today: Wei-Yin Chen, Chris Tillman, Pedro Strop, Andrew McCutchen, Daniel Schlereth, Eduardo Rodriguez, Jason Hammel, Miguel Gonzalez, Mark Hendrickson, Troy Patto, Mike Belfiore and Kevin Gausman. Before players hit the field this morning, the club officially announced right-handed sidearm reliever Darren O'Day's two-year contract.

This time last year, Darren O'Day was fighting for a roster spot in Orioles spring training - every outing precious, every impression critical - as he tried to salvage his big-league career. After a stellar 2012 season in which he was the team's most consistent reliever, O'Day - a quirky, light-hearted side-armer - was rewarded with a two-year contract from the Orioles with a third-year club option, the team announced on Monday. It's the peak of a remarkable 15-month ascension for the 30-year-old O'Day.

The Orioles have, for all intents and purposes, completed deals with all of their arbitration-eligible players, agreeing to terms Saturday afternoon with the final one, right-handed reliever Darren O'Day on a two-year extension worth a guaranteed $5.8 million. The Orioles said the deal is not yet completed, but they are nearing a multiyear extension with O'Day, who was 7-1 with a 2.28 ERA in 69 games last year. “It is something he asked us to explore during the course of negotiations for a one-year deal and we are taking a look at it ... and there is work to be done,” Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette said.

  I wonder if Darren O'Day's heart has started back up yet. Because when the Orioles' reliever was pranked recently by manager Buck Showalter for a Major League Baseball Fan Cave video, you wondered if the poor guy was going to need a defibrillator before it was all over. This was an absolute classic. It went like this: before a game against the Mets in New York, O'Day was supposedly being interviewed by a Wall Street Journal reporter to talk about something called a "Solowheel.

Darren O'Day doesn't just transcend the dumb-jock stereotype. He shatters it into tiny pieces. He scored high enough on his entrance exam to get into medical school. Scored high enough on another entrance exam to get into law school. But right now he's too content with his gig as a quietly effective side-arm reliever for the Orioles to think about doing anything else. "I knew I wanted to play baseball," the 29-year-old right-hander says now. "You can't give up that opportunity for anything.

Darren Artuso has been a presence on the sideline for the Loyola men's lacrosse team for years. Yet the 27-year-old son of Joe - the university's assistant athletic director and sports medicine director - and Gretchen Artuso became nationally known via ESPN for his on-screen bear hug of coach Charley Toomey after the top-seeded Greyhounds defeated Maryland, 9-3, in the NCAA tournament final on Memorial Day.
