the giants play before 1:00 in the afternoon. if the rangers close out the series there, then the game will be at 5:00 p.m. jonathan sanchez starts for the giants. roy oswald for the phillies. he did get stuck with the loss when he came in in relieve n game four. everybody is watching to see what will happen and hopefully the giants need one. let's get one. >> we are keeping our eye on the morning commute. >> we will update the accident. we told folks about the disabled big rig at the off-ramp. the accident that came in is on the southbound side at oak street. four or five cars and no big rigs as i understand are involved. you will use eastbound 580 through oakland as the alternate. we are seeing big back ups in the last 10 minutes since the accident happened. we are following a major slowing

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. and she'd make abortion a crime. no wonder fiorina is endorsed by sarah palin. carly fiorina. just too extreme for california.
