just happy for the team. >> it's crazy, but i mean, it's pretty cool, i think. it gets the whole city excited. it's pretty fun. >> reporter: it is fun. a giants spokeswoman told me that the kansas city royals might release some tickets back to the giants. if they do, they'll put them on the giants website. they'll trickle down to the website. keep checking, or of course you can watch it at your favorite bar or on tv. reporting live in san francisco, amy hollyfield, abc 7 news. >> it's all good, right? >> all good. amy, thanks. >> the star of yesterday's game, of course, travis ishikawa. he has the ultimate souvenir to prove it. >> great story. the giants fan who caught this winning home run ball last night didn't keep it. you see him in the arcade. he makes the catch. that's frank burke of oakville. he makes a classy move afterwards. this is burke returning the ball to ishikawa. daniel brown, a reporter with

you see traffic backed up across the bridge into the east bay on the western span -- excuse me, the eastern span of the bridge. here's the problem. drivers headed west had to slow down as they cross two steel plates in three left-land lanes of the bridge. gridlock stretched back to highway 24 near children's hospital. traffic advisory signs showed the drive time to san francisco 59 minutes, double the normal time it takes to get into the city. those plates on the bridge deck are part of some remedial construction work that cal-trans is carrying out. >> because they've been worn out and are causing cracking of the bridge deck surface. >> the slow commute continued well past the peak 9:00 hour. and there's no immediate end in sight to the mess. cal-trans expected to be working on these lanes for another 60 days. up next, 25 years later, the bay area remembers the lom loma prieta earthquake.

>> it's a friday. >> it is a friday. >> we're very excited about our ronald mcdonald house san francisco benefit tonight. mike and i are going to mc that. >> it's a great organization. the story you put together for both of us is online if you'd like to check it out and see the new facility they're having. they have such a great need for more rooms for those families. so go watch that on abc7news.com or join us tonight at four seasons here in downtown san francisco. all right. let's look at the forecast and show you what's going on at 11:19. we have some radar returns around the sonoma county coast. not making it to it the ground. what is, everything north of there. that's where the cold front and the low and the strength of that is more predominant along the oregon and washington coast. for us, we're just going to see this, an increase in the mid and upper-level clouds through the afternoon hours. so some sprinkles possible. 59 right now in santa rosa. most of us in the mid to upper 60s. that's after the 40s and 50s this morning.

one of the chilliest mornings we've had since last spring. this is the way it looks from the east bay hills. you can see some of the midlevel clouds coming in. those are not very thick. they don't have much vertical development because there's not much moisture in them. as they gather, they will. that's why there's a chance of showers this afternoon. overnight is when we'll get our best chance of seeing anything measurable. by tomorrow, already a few degrees warmer. better chance of measurable rain monday. highs today, mid to up thor 60s along the coast into san francisco. low to mid-70s elsewhere. tonight with the clouds coming in, even with the rain, it's going to be milder with mid to upper 50s. even a 60 around asan mateo. that first batch of radar returns going away, but by 7:00, another one coming in. one the sun sets, the atmosphere tends to moisten enough. you can see that system pull up to the coast and kind of fade away from 8:00 to noon tomorrow morning. so the closer you are to the coast and the north bay, the more likely you'll get some of

the scattered showers overnight. by 5:00 tomorrow, you can see the sun breaking out. look where most of it resides. up along the sonoma county and marin county coast. for hawaii, we're going just below it now is what's happening with ana. she's still a tropical storm, 70-mile-per-hour winds. expecting it to crank up to 74. that's all you need to get to for a hurricane as it plows just south of the big island by midnight tonight. look at all those showers heading towards honolulu and oahu by tomorrow late in the morning. by sunday evening to monday morning, it's pulling away and so are the showers. it's going to be a rain event and to a lesser extent a wind event. back here at home, we have a few patches of drizzle in the morning. otherwise, the 44th annual half moon bay art and pumpkin festival full of sunshine and mid to upper 60s. same thing for the game tomorrow. 3:00 at cal. 70 dropping down to 65. for the nike women's half marathon here in san francisco, we're looking at temperatures in the upper 50s to near 60 for the

run starting at 6:30 sunday morning. if you're going to it the raiders/cardinals game, temperature will be in the low to mid-70s with mostly sunny conditions. 1:25 kickoff there. some of our warmest afternoons will be saturday and sunday. cooler with that front and a better chance of rain. it'll get even warmer in the middle to latter parts of next week. >> i thought we sent the cardinals home? the other cardinals. >> yes. >> okay. i get it now. >> the other ball. >> thank you. thank you, mike. >> thanks. if you missed the premiere of the new abc show "cristella" you can check it out tonight to see what the critics are raving about. it's a sitcom in the spirit of some of your favorite shows from the '80s and '90s. it's about a mexican-american law student who's trying to balance her ambition and family life. it's semi-auto biog fall. >> it's about her. >> it's everything she ever

wanted. >> i grew up in this border town in texas like a million miles away from hollywood. i love tv. tv was my best friend. i used to see shows like "rosanne" and "the cosby show." i remember thinking, i want to do that. when someone asked me if i ever thought about doing a tv show, i thought, yeah, i have since i was a little kid. let's do it. >> and you can watch "cristella" tonight here on abc 7. still ahead, friday's perfect pet. >> mike comes back to introduce us to only new friends, somebody you can help.

coming up at 4:00, it's happened to a lot of us, now even to president obama. why the commander in chief says his credit card was rejected. if you ever had your credit card stolen, you know how much trouble that can cause. the counterfeit proof credit card of the future. that's all at 5:00. time now for friday's perfect pet. >> a new friend named johnny. johnny the cat along with krista. nice to see you again. tell us about -- he's a little camera shy. >> he is. he's a little out of his element, but johnny is a 2-year-old sweetheart. we actually saw him originally

he came in as a stray kitten. then since then he's been in a really loving home, but the owner actually had to give him up. forced to. so we're looking for a home for him because he's really confident and playful and curious. >> kids, other cats? >> older kids would be great, and other cats are okay. most importantly, just a really active household. >> so if you're interested in johnny or any of the pets they have at the san francisco spca, call 415-445-3000 or check our website. nice seeing you. >> thanks, guys. from all of us here at abc 7 news, thanks for joining us." >> "millionaire" is up next. >> congratulations again to the san francisco giants heading san francisco giants heading back to the w
