San Francisco Giants taken down by Rockies 7-run 9th inning, Jeremy Affeldt officially says good-bye

The San Francisco Giants played the last game of the season Sunday. The funny thing was, the game played out kind of like the entire season played out. Moments of brilliance, moments that were not so brilliant. And although they gave it everything they could, right up to the end

The game started late, however, because we celebrated Jeremy Affeldt’s retirement before the game. It was an emotional send-off for one of the pitchers known as the “Core Four.” The Core Four is a group of four pitchers that have been the backbone of the bullpen since Javier Lopez arrived after being traded from Pittsburgh on August 1, 2010.
