>> yeah. >> game one belongs to the giants. >> that's right, game one belongs to the giants. you heard that. that means the giants are one step closer to the world series after stunning the phillies 4-3. the red and orange lines are drawn and there's definitely some brotherly love lost. >> go giants! >> let's go phillies! >> let's go giants! >> i feel ecstatic. pins and needles all night. the chicken wings helped me through it and the beer and it's all good. >> it is all good. the pub has become a favorite hangout for local fans of the phillies, believe it or not. it's unclear why, but the owner say they started coming around about nine years ago. life-long philly fans we talked to admit that the giants do have a tiny, teeny spot in their philly hearts. >> i do have a soft spot, but

the soft spot is very, very small. >> we're fans and we'll root for the phillies until the dying end. >> phillies still in it, keep it going, good game giants, got one. >> [ inaudible ]. >> such nice fans. all those fans will probably be back at it again later today. game two is tonight in philly. about 5:19 our time. in about 20 minutes, sports director will show us the highlights from game one and what to expect in game two tonight. 21 years ago today, the giants and the as were about to play game three of the world series when the powerful loma preyeah da earthquake struck the fault line. >> little bit. >> the upper deck are asked to proceed to the nearest available exit. >> it wasn't until the fans left the stadium they could see the

full impact of the magnitude 7.1 earthquake. 15 seconds of shaking collapsed the upper deck of the cypress freeway on to the lower deck. 42 people lost their lives on the freeway that day. the quake claimed the lives of 67 bay area residents. new this morning, one less thing to worry about on your commute over the san mateo bridge tomorrow. emergency repairs that have plagued the area are done and now the lanes are all open again. this is a live look at how we wish the commute could look every day, right? the far right westbound lane is back in business as of 3:19 this morning. pour my first cup of coffee. the bridge closed tuesday when engineers discovered a crack during a routine inspection. crews bolted high strength steel plates over the cracked section of the beam and they will closely monitor the plates over the next couple days. thousands of dollars in reward money not enough to bring

the golden ghaith gate park tree vandals to justice police are stepping up the patrols in the area from new leads. vapdsles hacked 24 4 eed 44 tre rose bushes. police department is also offering a thousand dollar reward to try to catch the person who destroyed three holes at the golden gate golf course. that happened two weeks ago. a brutal beating of a high school student caught on tape sounds like an open and shut case, but the case could be falling apart. security cameras at bethel high school were rolling after an afterschool brawl broke out and 17-year-old bryant lee was seriously injured. this fight happened july 2009. eight people were indicted in the case, including two minors who were later charged as adults. but a jury acquitted three of the defendants because they didn't believe they were in gang or had committed torture during the fight.

prosecutors say they will continue to press for assault, torture and gang charges for those remaining suspects. lee says she was on his way to basketball practice when he saw a group of men assaulting a girl and he stepped in to help. defense attorneys say lee was the one who started the fight. the walnut creek city council is thinking about creating a tourism improvement district hoping to get people to visit the east bay town. that move would give the city the power to levy fees on hotels ranging from $1.50 to $2 per room per night. if all five of the hotels participate, that could bring in about $275,000 per year. the president of the walnut creek chamber of commerce says the money raised would be used for marketing walnut creek. >> obviously we're not a disney land and not a san francisco, but there are people who would come and will come and do come. >> the city council is scheduled to take up the issue of tourism at their next meeting on tuesday

good morning. here's a live look at san jose where you might notice a couple sprinkles if you head out the door to walk the dog or maybe just kick the dog out and let it go outside by itself. we'll look at the radar and get the forecast from craig in a few minutes. rescuers in china are working frantically to reach 11 miners believed to be trapped inside a coal mine after an explosion. more than 70 rescuers are battling dangerous levels of gas and the risk of falling rocks to free the trapped miners. the director of the rescue team

says that there is not much of a chance the 11 miners are alive and it will likely take three to four days to find them. the death toll from the blast is currently 26. former president bill clinton will be in san jose tonight for a democratic party rally supporting jerry brown and gavin newsom. doors open at 6:30 at the event center arena on san jose state campus. brown and newsom joined clinton on friday night for a rally on ucl's campus. that one drew 6,000 people. clinton delivered an impassioned speech that night saying everyone who doesn't vote is committing malpractice on your future. president obama comes to the bay area on thursday for another democratic party fund-raiser. arizona senator john mccain is up for re-election in his home state, but he's spending this weekend in california trying to build support for republican senate candidate carly fiorina. at a rally in san diego, mccain told the crowd that fiorina's

challenger, barbara boxer, has tried to undercut the military in iraq and afghanistan. that's no coincidence that the focus was on the military. we'll get to that video in a minute. a few days ago senator barbara boxer received an endorsement of the veterans foreign wars political action committee, mccain said he was stunned by it and then lashed out at senator boxer. >> barbara boxer is the most bitterly partisan, most anti-defense senator in the united states state today. i know that because i've had the unpleasant experience of having to serve with her. >> has not served the people of california and we must hold her accountable. >> now these two aren't just campaigning together. fiorina served as an economic adviser to senator mccain during his 2008 presidential campaign but was pulled from the front line when she told a reporter neither mccain or sarah palin would be capable of running a company.

speaking of palin, she is in southern california this weekend. the former vice presidential can date was asked to speak at what was billed a voter turnout rally organized by the republican national committee. >> so how about we make november second freedom day and we take it back for the little guy. >> hundreds of people attended that rally. palin and michael steele, the controversial republican national chairman, were the two big draws. meg whitman and carly fiorina skipped complaining they had prior commitments. steele tried to reassure the crowd there are no tensions between the tea party and the republican establishment. and a reminder tomorrow is the last day to register to vote in the november elections. your registration must be postmarked no later than tomorrow. for voter registration information where you can pick up a form go to the california secretary of state's website, you can fill it out on-line there too. the address sos.gov/election or

i hate to be cliche but i washed my car yesterday and that's why it's raining today. >> you have the big hair going. >> i know. >> let's talk about whenever the moisture comes in, the hair gets -- >> like a chshgs ia pet. >> i had to wear a beanie to flatten my hair out. we have rain in the forecast. if you want to tune in later

maybe chris's hair will be curling by then. just add water. start off live, san francisco, look at all the fog, the clouds, the runners getting ready for the women's nike marathon. it will be wet and drizzly and cool. next shot as we head off to oakland, look at that shot. great shot. little chilly out there. mostly 40s and 50s. scattered showers through the east bay as well. next shot as we head into the south end of the bay. few breaks in the clouds with some of the clouds have produced a couple light rain drops. if you did wash your car yesterday it's going to be a little wet. as we look at the radar here is the radar for the past one hour or so. the heaviest line right now, the front, right about there. you can make out the darker shades of green and yellow. as we head into sonoma county that's where the heavier rain is. scattered showers in nature throughout the rest of the bay area. look across the sierra nevada, about 8,000 feet, close to yosemite, some snow there as well. this is not a very big or powerful storm, but it is enough to give us some scattered showers and by the end of the

day into tomorrow morning, about a tenth to a quarter of an inch. not a whole lot. again it's garden variety. once the front passes through later this morning a couple spotty showers in places. 101 pretty wet as you're traveling or getting ready to head out. close to livermore, scattered showers here as well into the hills. in san francisco, right there getting close to the golden gate it will get there in a matter of seconds, also saw sew leeto, that will head over to the north end of the bay, and scattered very light showers in the south end of the bay, close to san jose, willow glen and once you pass over 17 over the hill in los gatos. the temperatures into the 50s. we're not going to warm up a whole lot from there. here's the center of the storm. the front we talked about, will pass over the bay area and into the high sierra as we go through the afternoon. a few scattered light showers today. again not a whole lot. a tenth to a quarter of an inch. we'll have some more as we go through the day tomorrow, only after the morning hours in the

morning commute we'll start to dry out. 70s into the central valley, 50s along the coast. chilly across the sierra. snow above 8,000 feet. reno 55, if you're headed there today or tomorrow expect some showers and thunderstorms and snow across the higher elevations. 50s, 60s, not much in the way of 70s. sun set 6:29. seven-day forecast, rather cool weekend into the start of monday and then tuesday and wednesday we dry out and then next friday, chris, looks like we have a chance for a few more scattered showers. do not wash your car. >> happens every time. so cliche. >> but it happens. >> that's good. wash it more often. we need it. >> thank you very much. a new bridge is open and it is named after san jose football star pat tillman. the tillman bridge soared across the hoover dam connecting the u.s. states of nevada and arizona. tillman played football for the arizona cardinals, setting a team record for tackles in one

season. tillman decided to put that pro football career on hold and join the u.s. military along with his younger brother. he was killed by friendly fire in afghanistan in 2004. impressive bridge. still ahead on "today in the bay" the accidental super star. the giants have a new mvp on the field, but have the fans heard of him? the fate of gavin newsom's perfect hair do, rests in the midst of the san francisco giants. we'll explain why coming up. >> good sunday morning. am raj. did you see it last night? the giants off to an amazing start, not to be debbie downer here. be careful. game two of the phillies will come strong. check in with the giants and sharks and college football. stay with us. [ male announcer ] taxes.

so who called prop 13 a "fraud" and a "rip off?" jerry brown. who raised the gas tax as governor, and pushed for higher sales taxe jerry brown. who tried five times to raise property taxes in oakland? jerry brown. who supported higher statewide income taxes? jerry brown. and who says, if elected, he'll ask voters for even more new taxes? jerry brown. governor jerry brown, again? hide your wallet. the giants will strut back on to the field tonight for game two against the phillies. after what some are calling a bit of a stunner. will they come out on top or another round offer to it tour for giants fans? sports director raj has the

bases covered in your morning sports. >> chris, thank you. good sunday morning to you. an amazing story for the giants last night. just be a little careful, a great start last night, but tonight, the phillies will be coming strong. the giants can enjoy game one. one of the best story lines in years, we'll say he's the accidental super star. a few weeks ago many giants fans hadn't heard of cody ross. as of right now cody ross is the mvp for the giants in these entire playoffs. he killed the braves last week and last night, cody ross killed the phillies. how about this, an electric atmosphere, waving all those white towels in philadelphia, and that much talked about pitching matchup, tim lincecum against roy halladay, forget about it. cody ross stole the show. the unheralded cody ross. the giants just acquired him off the waiver wire in august. he hit two home runs last night. his second came in the fifth inning. not so easy, though. this game wouldn't be, the series won't be. bottom of the sixth, jayson

werth, a two-run homer off lincecum. the phillies were within one run. down to that torture time. bring in the beard, by that we mean brian wilson, beautifully colored, he comes in and slams the door. this is the ninth inning. he strikes out the final four batters of the game. giants win it 4-3. so a couple big reasons for the giants, huge for two reasons, they take an early lead in the series and maybe more importantly, they've convinced themselves they can beat the heavily favored phillies. bring in nbc's laura bank ki who joins us from philadelphia. >> reporter: good morning from philadelphia. where there was a whole lot of hooting and hollering going on inside the giants clubhouse immediately after last night's game one win. no one from the media. that excitement was tempered a bit. it's a good start but it's just one win. what a win it was. the giants beat roy halladay on a night when tim lincecum did not have his best stuff but the ace was good enough to beat the favor eed phils.

>> try not to worry about what they've done in the past. you know what they're capable of and try to work off of that. we're a team with a bunch of confidence, swagger, fun. >> we like the odds stacked up against us. i think that's where we're playing a little game of baseball. you know, the odds said we were going to lose, they would have to lose, we're supposed to lose but we went out and played our game. >> you always want to come on the road and say 1-1, you get the first win, might as well try to get two. >> reporter: with many believing the phillies would win this series after last night's win the giants were asked if they're starting to get people's attention. aubrey huff said doesn't matter. they believe in each other and continuing to prove people wrong. for those favored phillies, the last time they dropped a series opener, back in 2007 when they were swept by colorado. with the giants in philadelphia, laura banky, nbc bay area sports. >> we'll see you later tonight from philadelphia for game two. so once again giants in a good situation but game two a whole

different ball game. we'll see somehow it shakes down. last night how about the sharks back on ice in san jose. their home opener, joe thornton a richer man, signs a three-year $21 million extension to stay with the teal. for the game against the thrashers, oh, you remember dust continue bufflin the guy that killed the sharks last season, used to play for the black hawks, plays for the thrashers, scores the game-winning goal in the third period. sharks lose 4-2. couple notes from football, cal loses at usc and san jose state loses at home against boise state. that's going to do it for now. see you later tonight, about 8:30 on sports sunday prime time, the giants game two, also the raiders and 49ers, we'll be joined by raiders star. have a great sunday, see you later today. >> as raj mentioned the giants are one step closer to the world series after beating the phillies last night and that means mayor newsom may not have

to mess up his famous locks after all. the mayor has a friendly bet going with the philadelphia mayor. if the phillies win newsom has to wear a phillies cap during an event some time around veterans day. if he doesn't the cap doesn't have to happen. newsom is on a bit of a winning streak when it comes to baseball bets thanks to the giants. atlanta's mayor had to fly a giants flag over that city hall after the team's opening series matchup with the braves. by the way, in case you're wondering, the product that newsom uses on that perfect hair, loreal total control gel. we asked. hard hitting news here. much more ahead on today in the bay, up next at 7:30, could saving money be killing your pet. a serious health warning for your four-legged family members.

from nbc bay area, reporting what matters to you, this is "today in the bay." james cameron pledged $1 million to fight proposition 23. prop 23 if approved by california voters would suspend california's greenhouse gas reduction law until the state's unemployment rate drops to 5.5% for four quarters a year essentially. the gas reduction law passed in 2006 and aims to reduce emissions and promote development in clean industries. the 56-year-old oscar winner has pro environment messages in his blockbuster hit movies, "avatar." one of the most controversial issues on the ballot is prop 23 which would suspend the environmental law until everything is back in order. for more let's turn to nbc bay area political analyst larry gurston for what this means. it's called the jobs initiative. it's about greenhouse gases. people are feeling a little bit confused. why would james cameron throw

money at something that is about the environment and about jobs? >> it's about a lot more than jobs, chris. it's about the vision for california. if you think about it. where we're going. prop 23 as we discussed would suspend ab 232 assembly bill 32 passed a couple years ago, the one that requires gas emissions to be reduced to 1990 levels by 2020. any businesses that use energy in any kind of comprehensive way will be affected by this law. the proponents say that the cost with -- from ab 32 are going to force businesses to leave the state. if the businesses leave the state, the jobs leave with them. opponents say come on, compliance costs are going to be negligible and that proposition 23 would create many more green jobs than it would lose. so you get two sides looking at this. it's about jobs but is there more or less depending on what happens to prop 23. >> a lot of talk about the fact that the pro prop 23 has been

funded by out of state oil companies. there are obviously other people within the state backing prop 23. >> absolutely. the chamber of commerce, california chamber of commerce, howard jarvis taxpayer association, oil refiners and oil companies have put up most of the money. in fact 90% of the money and almost 90% of the money for this proposition, by the way, is coming from out of state. so you can see the interests here are not just in california. but from oil companies all over the nation. >> okay. we were talking ate the fact that james cameron donated a million dollars to sort of even the playing field. who else is against prop 23? who else? who are the normal people? >> this is becoming an interesting proposition. the sierra club, the california afl-cio, league of women voters, but heres a the one that really got to me when i teased the data the other day. leading venture capitalists have put up most of the money to fight prop 23. one, in fact, has put up $5

million. another has put up $2 million. as a matter of fact, these days, the no side is outspending the yes side 3-2. >> can i venture a guess? >> venture a guess. >> venture capitalists are putting up the money to defeat it because they want tech jobs, green jobs, right? >> venture capitalists are a little like people who look in the crystal ball. what they care about not what's going on today, but tomorrow. they see green technology, green energy, that whole era upon us. whether it's new cars, whether it's batteries, solar, california is the greenest state in the union and where we're going even more and opposing this bill. >> enough talk about all the folks who have all the money. what do the polls show about what regular folks are thinking? >> up in the air. up in the air, chris. the field poll shows 34%, 45% against. here's the statistic we like to see, 21% undecided. the "l.a. times" poll recently,

38% against. again, a huge block, 22% undecided. many, many people on the fence. look we're going to see a blitz on this one. before all is said and done the yes on 23 folks will not roll over. we will see a blitz in the waning weeks. there's an unwritten rule about polls in california and that is this, if you don't have 60% or thereabouts going in, the likelihood is, that the proposition gizzing to fail. why is that? because at the end there are always people who sort of slide over the other way with the second thought. it would appear, at least for now, that prop 23 may be in trouble. with such a huge undecided vote, anything goes. >> well that stands to reason that will affect prop 19 which is the other big talker in this election which would legalize marijuana, topic of larry's blog this week, prop 0. find it on nbcbayarea.com right along the top see prop 0, click on it and get more insight from larry gur ston. thank you so much for joining us today and we'll see you soon. >> thank you.

you know it's bad when the press asks if you'd take a lie detector test. meg whitman didn't tell the truth about not voting or about how long she lived in california. she got caught in insider deals at goldman sachs. she changed her story about physically abusing an employee. she campaigned as tough as nails on immigration knowing her housekeeper of 9 years was undocumented. her tv ads have been condemned as false and misleading. and even her hometown newspaper said meg whitman has demonstrated "a loose relationship with the truth"

she's against banning assault weapons... and that's reckless and dangerous. she's for risky new oil drilling that could threaten our jobs. fiorina's plan would mean slashing social security and medicare, which would devastate seniors.
