kind of a little bit about what why why it's important for you to keep on coming out here. you know what? >> we've we've reached out to like fisher. we've reached out to mlb. i think, you know, they've heard us. they know we're here, tonight's for us. tonight's just a party. we want to come out and have. have fun. we picked a couple games that we're going to just come out and enjoy ourselves. and tonight's one of the nights. so mlb can do what it wants to do. but tonight is for, like, us, family, friends. you can see the big party all around. everybody's moving inside. it's just, you know, community and friends tonight. and then guess what? tomorrow nobody's showing up. >> and i know. right. it's kind of thinned out around here. but there was a live band out here. exactly. the band starting. but what what makes this so special to be around so many a's fans who have kind of been going through the same situation for a while altogether. now i mean, i've talked to people from reno,

sacramento, just a grown up coming out here with their grandparents or their dad, wearing old school hats and jerseys and like generations, it's nuts, they just want to catch a game. they want to catch an oakland a's game like the a's think they can move their brand somewhere else. it's the oakland a's. is the brand. and that's what. >> and that's why these people are coming out. >> that's why i'm out. one last party for us. >> and i know you haven't been to a game yet this season on on the inside of the coliseum, but will you make it out to the final game this season? will you will you take one last one in? >> oh, i'm coming out to the last game. i'm. i'll be here last game. soak it all in, this will be my first game walking into the stadium. we're here for the previous, like, for the opening night, but yeah, i'll be. i'll be here for the last game, you know, the a's keep hiking up the prices, but, yeah, we'll do it. we'll do it, hey,

lock up those, those, urinals, because they're coming down. >> all right. thanks so much, greg. appreciate it. thank you. we will let you get inside. >> great coverage. you've been on this team all the time. you're great for the for our community. really appreciate it. of course. >> thank you so much. we'll let you get inside. and, guys, a lot of fans heading inside to catch this game. first pitch thrown out, just about five minutes or so ago, right at 640. again, the toronto blue jays taking on the a's tonight. we'll have much more at ten on, just giving you the full wrap of what this party was like a little bit earlier this afternoon. >> all right. bailey o'carroll, live at the coliseum. bailey. thank you. >> a big weekend for nascar fans in the bay area and beyond. as they descend upon sonoma for the xfinity series on saturday and the toyota save mart 350 cup series on sunday. and while fans are getting excited for the race, drivers are no different. in an exclusive interview, ktvu caught up with bubba wallace to

talk all things sonoma and how he's feeling heading into race weekend. >> we've had our bad races where we bled a lot, but we've patched up the wounds and we've gotten back out there and been able to, put some races together and get back on the train. >> it is not all work and no play, though. drivers do get some time to decompress outside of the track. so what does bubba do with that time? >> like to drink? drink some wine, along with everyone else in the garage. that'll be a little different this year. you know, my wife's pregnant, so i can drink a little bit, but obviously i got to work, so she's. she's got to sit back and be the dh for a beautiful weekend for sonoma. >> and if you're going out there, bring along the sunblock. stay hydrated. but temperatures definitely a lot nicer than what we had just a few days ago. here's a look over parts of the bay where we have mid and high level clouds joining us for the weekend. a trough settling in a system moving through the

pacific northwest, and clouds expected for us tomorrow. here's a look at what's going on outside right now. santa rosa reporting 64 a cool 58 in san francisco. concord enjoying 72 mid 60s in oakland, where again, the game just got underway. getting into the evening hours. do expect temperatures to continue to cool in the next hour or so. 60 degrees with that west breeze at about 15mph that live shot out there. you can see all those flags blowing. it is a breezy one out at the oakland coliseum this evening. here's a view of storm tracker two. here's a look at the system again that will be impacting us for the weekend. that batch of clouds coming our way. do expect a for tomorrow afternoon. a lot of those high level clouds could even offset our heat just a little bit more than expected. so we'll see how it all shakes out. but here's a look at tomorrow morning. notice we start out with mostly cloudy skies, a little bit of drizzle out there as well, and then into the afternoon. the clouds just keep coming. here's a look at 5:00 in the afternoon. mid and high level clouds. so we'll be that soft sunlight that isn't so

bothersome right. the dark the dark cloudy conditions typically those low clouds along the coastline could be persistent tomorrow as well with the very strong onshore breeze. 53 in san francisco tomorrow morning to start the day upper 50s in san jose as well as antioch. as we get into the afternoon. a nice one for the peninsula, 74 for you. redwood city in the north bay. we'll go upper 70s, san rafael, santa rosa, napa, upper 70s to low 80s for our inland east bay and then closer to the water. looking good in oakland for the afternoon. 6864 in san francisco, these temperatures are a little bit below average, a few degrees, but still a little cool for this time of year. lake tahoe a gorgeous weekend, still holding on to 77. wow, that's a lucky, lucky number there for blue canyon, south lake tahoe and truckee for tomorrow. temperatures will be a little bit cool in the 40s, but into the afternoon. low 80s upper 70s on sunday. back in the low 80s on monday. just love this time of year around the lake. here's a look at the

and all it has to offer. and of course, including the food and ktvu sal castaneda has a taste of the best offerings. >> the city has. >> don't let saratoga's quiet, tree lined streets hide the good food you can get here, especially in the downtown area along big basin way. perhaps saratoga's most well known restaurant is the plumed horse, a michelin star restaurant. this modest sized restaurant grabs you right when you walk in, but it's the cuisine that keeps foodies coming from all around the world. chef peter armellino says he is aware of the place his restaurant holds in saratoga, the bay area and

beyond. >> i think the restaurant is in a neighborhood, so we try not to lose that neighborhood, feel, but we are a michelin star restaurant on the world stage. it's a very friendly restaurant. it's not a snooty restaurant, we offer a pre fee menu with, four courses, or we offer a chef's tasting menu nightly. we have a la carte in the bar as well. >> if you come here, you will really benefit from chef armellino decades of working in some of america's finest kitchens for more than 40 years. >> i love what i do, i enjoy cooking, i cook on my days off, i cook for my wife, i cook for my friends. it's always something. it's not just a career. it's like my passion. >> so you'll be eating in a nice dining room or lounging in a cozy bar with a fireplace and craft cocktails. if you are a wine aficionado, you might be persuaded to make the drive here. for the extensive wine list. hundreds of bottles from around the world are stored in this three story glass wine

cellar. the list is curated by sommelier geoffrey perisho. this is impressive. i got to tell you, you know, it's my day job and then my night job. it it took a little while to put together, but the tradition and history i was lucky enough to take it over in 2011. >> from fancy to casual. we only have to look right across the street on big basin way to a relatively new restaurant called mangia mornings. we enlisted the help of a local, nancy brown, who was having a very delicious looking pancake with berries just one of the many delicious breakfast dishes here at mangia mornings. >> this is our new go to brunch breakfast that you can eat inside or out. >> and the menu prices are reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food. since i came near lunchtime, i had the burger, which was perfect and was made even better by the delicious brioche bun and crispy fries. a longstanding favorite is hong's gourmet, serving cross-regional chinese food with hearty

portions and a pleasant outdoor patio. >> we have been in here saratoga for over 20 years so everyone is know us and we have been trying our best to provide good food for the saratoga. >> check out these dishes. my advice is to give special consideration to the shrimp lunch special saratoga's biggest asset may be its reliably warm afternoon and evening temperatures, which is perfect for dining alfresco. >> our favorite is bella saratoga. down the street, they make all their fresh pastas is really nice fish dishes, beautiful outdoor dining. >> all right, be sure to join us on our next zip trip. two weeks from today in pleasanton. that is friday, june 21st on ktvu. the nine. i say this every single year, but sal has the best job for all of these zip trips, and it comes right in time before we're going to dinner because everything looks amazing. >> i know you and i have been working together enough that i

was going to say the exact same thing in my head. he does have the best assignment. >> bring some food to us, sal. just one time. >> one time. thanks so much for joining us here. west coast rap coming up next on ktvu. >> so stay with us and to stream the latest news and weather on your smart tv. anytime download the fox local app to your television. christina and i will see you back at ten.
