"On Tuesday, reliever Francisco Rodriguez told a national baseball columnist that he wasn't happy with the lack of save opportunities he's had since the Milwaukee Brewers traded for him in July.

When asked about his comments a day later, Rodriguez didn't back off.

"I wasn't lying," he said before the Brewers' 6-2 loss to the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday.

"There's been plenty of save opportunities, and I've pitched once in the ninth inning and it wasn't a save.

"I'm not happy. That's the bottom line for me. They told me one thing; they haven't done it. And I stand by what I said.

"I'm not lying. I'm not creating something out of nowhere. I'm just saying the facts, and that's pretty much it.""
