just basically scattered around the bay. this is favoring areas closer to san francisco right around the bay itself. closer to fremont. this is early tomorrow morning. and then by 12:00 not a lot to show you. so the highest probability will be just for tomorrow morning. by 12:00 still some clouds in place. look what happens by 4:00 and 5:00. we pull back on the shower chances. and also we scale back on the clouds quite a bit with more partly cloudy skies. all reflected in your forecast beginning at 8:00 for tomorrow morning for easter. 48 to 58 degrees. chance of a few sprinkles. by 12:00 go with mostly cloudy skies by 3 and 4:00. partly cloudy skies. upper 50s to the low to mid- 60s. san francisco is 61. and antioch tops out mid-60s. some more neighborhoods and more 60s for pleasant ton and morgan hill right around 65. a look ahead at your five day forecast. another system will move into the region on monday. a big stronger.

>> good evening everyone. welcome to this saturday night edition of sports wrap. the san jose sharks tonight had a chance to wrap up their playoffs series with the la kings. but the come back from a big deficit formula didn't work this time around. after two straight in la the sharks back on home ice for game five. it took roughly three and a half minutes for san jose to fall behind by a goal. and they can't clear the puck. clifford takes the shot. wayne simmonses for the deflection and san jose is down 1-0. and a familiar feel as less than four minutes later the kings scored again. dan boyle turns it over at mid- ice. niemi saves one shot. but kyle clifford there to clean up and it is 2-0 kings. a minute later it was 3-0. it stays in the sharks end. dustin penner hits one off. and less than nine begins gone in the first period.

as in the sharks got back in it when patrick marleau snuck a shot passed jamie quick. that was in the second period. but that was it for the scoring. 51 saves by jonathan quick. the kings stave off elimination with a 3-1 win. the sharks still lead the series 3-2. as they head back to la on monday. fred inglis joins us live from san jose. fred, no miraculous come back for the sharks this time. and the proverbial stand on your head effort by jonathan quick. >> yes, this is the same jonathan quick, joe, that gave up six goals in each of the last two games against these sharks. and it is just too bad that the san jose sharks did not have the same kind of effort from their goalie in the net tonight. imagine this, though, bad turnovers gave up three goals on just four shots in this first five minutes of the game. three goals on four shots in the first five minutes.

and bad turnovers we said by the defense. but he was not up to jonathan quick's performance and he was pulled from the game for the second time already in this playoffs series. you know, we felt we could still come back. we had the chances to do it. we just didn't finish them off. and no, everybody was still feeling good that there is a possibility we can come back. >> it was hard. tonight our last game we found a way but tonight we ran into a really hot goalie. >> it's 3-2. do you feel you are still in the driver's seat obviously? >> yeah. i would rather be 3-2 than down 3-2. you know, we got to go there and win. we are 2-0 there. so it is positive. take some positives out of this game and move on. >> and they relieved niemi and shut out la the final 55 minutes. but once again a slow start by the sharks cost them this game. and now there is a question

which one of the two finnish goalies will start in goal on monday for game six? one other effort, too, joe, talk about the powerplay. 0-4 for the sharks again tonight. now just 2-20 in powerplay. they need to get that started as well. and maybe that will turn things around for game six. joe? all right. thank you, fred. the sharks with two more chances to get it done if they don't wrap up the series monday in la. come back to san jose for a game seven on wednesday. on paper today's game between the giants and the braves had pitchers dual written all over it. tim lincecum against tim hudson. hudson lived up to his part of the billing. giants former member of oakland's big three ross up the middle. pat burrell beats the relay. rbi number one for ross who started on the dl. braves tied it with one on the

third. and hudson out of a mini jam. a winning ending 6-3 double play after the giants put two on with one out. lincecum was undone by six walks. and martin prado with a base hit in the fifth that scored nate mcleod gave the braves a 2- 1 lead as he ran into the first three run. here is how he got his first one ground ball to second. whiteside never really gets the ball as alex gonzalez slides in safely. then came the hit that put it away. brian mccan with a base hit that scores mcleod and prado to make it five runs, six hits and six walks allowedly lincecum. giants get a run in the 9th but go down 5-2 which puts them at 10-10. always a unique experience at wrigley field no matter what age you are. dodgers trailing the cubs 5-3 in the fifth until matt kemp puts one into the bleachers.
