Rodrigo can be proud! (Me so sad....)


Rodrigo Lopez has been named Orioles Opening Day starter for 2006. This is Rodrigo's 3rd Opening Day start for the O's in the last 4 years. With this start, Lopez will join exclusive company in Baltimore's record books. Just four other Orioles -- Steve Barber, Dave McNally, Jim Palmer and Mike Mussina -- have pitched as many as three Opening Day games for the O's. Palmer and Mussina are tied for the most with six each, and McNally worked five openers as Baltimore's ace.


Pitcher W L ERA G GS CG SHO IP
Barber 121 106 3.36 466 272 59 21 1999
McNally 184 119 3.24 424 396 120 33 2730
Palmer 268 152 2.86 558 521 211 53 3948
