new this morning, carly fiorina is in the hospital. we will let you know if she's going to be out in time for the election. and the giants gearing up for game one of the world series. we're going to take a look at today's pitching matchups. >> reporter: and i'm bob redell. we'll show you how san francisco is showing the texas rangers some love. that story coming up, "today in the bay." from nbc bay area, reporting what matters to you, this is "today in the bay." good morning to you. thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> and i'm brent cannon. straight up 5:00 right now. we want to check in with rob mayeda taking us live at at&t

park this morning. rob, i hope you brought the big coat today. >> he would know. >> reporter: yeah, it's chilly out here this morning. again, as you go with our day planner forecast, what you meant is something warm, something that is orange and black to support our giants here in san francisco. kind of chilly. some parts waking up to the 30s and 40s. we have a real chilly start but as you head toward the afternoon you'll see temperatures start to creep up. mainly mid to upper 60s inland today. good news for game one. it does not look like we'll see any showers today. we'll have to keep a close eye on some changes tomorrow that may include some showers. a full look ahead at that seven-day forecast and the changes coming up. now let's head back to you in the warm studio, i'm sure. warmer at least than it is out here this morning. >> but it was chilly outside in the south bay here. you're talking orange and black. let's look at the golden gate bridge. international orange and flashing orange lights as well as the crew starts to realign

those orange cones. there you go, giants theme traffic already this morning. an easy drive through the north bay but there may be frost on those smaller bridges so keep that in mind throughout wine country. the bay bridge is going to be a lot more crowded midday to the evening because of the world series so we'll follow that. back to you. two teenagers accused of setting fire to san jose's trace elementary school are expected back in court today. 16-year-old lazarus riava lez and 17-year-old are expected to enter their pleas. they are both charged as adults for that fire back in july. it caused some $6.5 million in damage. carly fiorina is waking up in an l.a. hospital this morning. fiorina is a breast cancer survivor. she was taken to the hospital yesterday to get antibiotics for an infection related to her reconstructive surgery. there is speculation that fiorina's prior radiation

treatments could have contributed to that infection. fiorina's hospitalization comes just as she was gaining momentum in her race against democratic senator barbara boxer. she was scheduled to be at google headquarters today but her campaign is not saying whether she will make it. victims of identity theft are about to get more help. san francisco will launch an identity theft council at 10:00 this morning at ft. mason center. it is a grassroots project meant to help identity theft victims pie giving free support and recovery help. more than two dozen cities and police departments are taking part in san francisco's council. statistics show some 11 million adults were victims of identity theft just last year. meantime giants fever is heating up again. there are less than 12 hours until the first pitch of game one of the world series at at&t park. >> pretty exciting. kris sanchez is live at at&t park with a look at how san francisco is showing its big giants pride. good morning. >> reporter: oh, i'm showing my

big giants pride. i dug in one out. you thought orange was just for halloween. no way. it is absolutely all about giants fever. already this morning we've seen folks heading off to work wearing their giants gear very proudly and bundled up because it is very cold as rob mayeda said. this is the start of giants pride week. mayor gavin newsom made that declaration yesterday. it's going to run from today through the end of the world series. this is a way that newsom is trying to urge local businesses to show giants pride. he wants to see signs, he wants to see flags over businesses. he's flying a giants flag over san francisco city hall. we also noticed some other landmarks are wearing their orange nice and proud. coit tower was lit up bright and orange. civic center plaza along with city hall are orange and we also saw orange at the ferry building. we also saw the giants flag flying proudly over the ferry building as well. mayor gavin newsom will be at

the game tonight. he has pride on the line. he also has a bet. you know those friendly mayoral wagers? he has one with the mayor of arlington, texas. the loser in this deal is going to have to put on the victor's jersey and wear that while they do community service in the other person's hometown. there's also a food wager as well. we can show you that. the traditional bet of the local goods and fares. newsom gets barbecue. that's the end of that. of course we have so many other things to offer. we have crab, sourdough bread, that gharidelli chocolate. now, you may be wondering who is on the mound. tim lincecum will go up against cliff lee. arguably both of these pitchers are the best that each team has to offer, but lee does have a small advantage, only statistically speaking, of course. lee has never lost a playoff game.

he is that good. he has seven career starts, seven wins. lee earned a 1.26 e.r.a. lincecum is no slouch. he has two wins in three starts. he has a 1.93 e.r.a. while he trails lee in that department, he does lead in one category. he has two cy young awards. cliff lee only has one. coming up, we'll show you the lengths to which some fans are going to just see the game and get close to all of the action and we'll also show you how you can show your giants pride while also helping out your local animal shelters. i'm here in mccovey cove. kris sanchez for "today in the bay." >> thanks, kris. meantime giants fans are doing everything they can to try to shake up the rangers. >> "today in the bay's" bob redell is live with an unusual wakeup call that's in the works. good morning, bob. >> reporter: good morning to you, laura and brent. you know, san francisco does have a very rich musical history. so out of the kindness of their

hearts, lefty o'doul's, that iconic restaurant in the city which is located across from the westin st. francis, the hotel that is allegedly housing the rangers during their stay for the world series, the restaurant has hired a trio, two trumpeters and a guitarist, i believe someone on the street provided lead vocals for a short time. they hired this trio to be within ear shot so the rangers can be lovingly serenaded to sleep every night. it's awesome because the rangers not only get to come here and compete in the world series, they get to also get a wonderful taste of the culture here in this iconic city. >> the love. >> reporter: if you're thinking of trying to see the game, you can buy tickets. you're well aware they're going to call you several bills. tickets on stub hub are averaging $800. you can also try mccovey cove. you can try to get a kayak. there's an owner of a local kayak recommendation business. they said they're expecting at

least a thousand people. authorities are also going to try to limit the number of people in mccovey cove. there had been talk of putting up big screen tvs like they did during the world cup soccer tournament at the civic center plaza with the big screen tvs. that was discussed earlier in the week but we have not heard anything since on that. you also know there's the knot hole. well, the gated fence in the back of right field, they call it the knot hole on the promenade. you can go there. they'll be opening up three hours before game time. first pitch again tonight at 4:57. what you do is you go in there and you're asked to rotate every few innings. i did that during the last world series in '02 and it was at least an opportunity to see a little bit of the game. it beats a kick in the head, i guess, as far as just standing out here and not being able to see it. so those are some of your options. your best bet will cost you a lot of money. reporting live, bob redell,

"today in the bay." >> a lot of fun. >> thanks, bob. a reminder, there is another way to get more information. you can go to nbcbayarea.com for all of your giants coverage. we will have post-game highlights right after the game tonight. if you need more giants information, you can check out brian wilson, for example, some inside scoop on him. find out about his life as a secret ninja. lots of good scoop. kind of interesting to find out a little bit about the players at nbcbayarea.com. what will the gameday forecast be? we've got rob mayeda out at at&t park as well. >> reporter: we're all huddled up here this morning. bob, kris and myself here. the big fall classic on a day that is the coldest day of fall so far here in the bay area. our temperatures will get your attention. we have some 30s and 40s to start off your morning in some spots in the north bay. game time temperatures as we go through the day, temperatures probably in the 60s as we move on. there you see san francisco will

see some clouds spilling in as we head through the afternoon, but today game one of the world series will be dry, so that's no problem. it's tomorrow, though, we'll see more clouds spilling in and that could lead to some changes. as we go hour by hour, yes, a very chilly start will not rule out patchy frost on a few windshields. as we head toward the afternoon, not all that bad. areas south of san jose, out towards morgan hill and gilroy will be very close to 70 degrees so a pretty pleasant forecast for the afternoon. the seven-day forecast keeps a close eye on tomorrow's weather as we'll see a chance of showers. halloween as well, sunday morning may see a few showers early and we clear out for trick-or-treat time. i checked the forecast for arlingt arlington, texas. about 82 degrees today. compare that to 62 in san francisco. we call this pitcher's weather. cooler, dense air, the ball does not carry as far so that should help our pitching staff taking on one of the hottest hitting teams in san francisco. let's send it back to you in the

studio. >> thanks so much, rob. the time now is 5:10. the whooping cough continues to cause problems. we'll show you the newest numbers from the state health department. and parts of the country are dealing with severe weather. one woman impaled by a broken tree branch. we'll show you what happened. plus our live coverage of the giants world series continues this morning. we'll check back in with kris and rob and bob, the whole gang at at&t park in less than ten minutes. we're also helping you to get to know your giants this morning. before this year you probably never heard of number 56. the center fielder only played 89 games before the giants picked him up in 2009. he's been stellar since then securing the spot as the leadoff hitter. he was so good he was given the willie mack award given to the most inspirational player on the team as voted on by the giants, the players, the coaches and of course the fans. reporting what matters to you, you're watching "today in the bay" with laura garcia-cannon, brent cannon,

business and technology with scott mcgrew and traffic with inouye. our state is in a real mess. and i'm not going to give you any phony plans or snappy slogans that don't go anywhere. we have to make some tough decisions. we havetometh livwi onsur meawi. we have got to take the power from the state capitol and move it down to the local level, closer to the people. and no new taxes, without voter approval. we have got to pull together not as republicans or as democrats but as californians first. at this stage in my life, i'm prepared to do exactly that.

it's been a dream of mine to restore it. and it's my dream for him to finish it. frank has something great to save up for. this is my dad. isn't that cool? and a very understanding girlfriend. i showed him a wells fargo savings account with my savings plan. [ frank ] and what it does is it takes a little bit of my money and puts it towards my goal. i want to get all the original parts and do it right. for my dad. there's a couple months in between parts. so, one at a time. [ male announcer ] wells fargo. with you when it's time to save. ♪

i was supposed to retire there. carly fiorina changed all that. [ cheri ] fiorina laid off 30,000 people. and she shipped our jobs to china. and india. i had to pack my bags and i was out the door that night. we even had to train our replacements. she didn't need 5 corporate jets. [ farrell ] one hundred million for herself. fiorina never cared about our jobs. not then and not now. [ boxer ] i'm barbara boxer and i approve this message. good wednesday morning to you. taking a live look outside at&t park. it is a cold start to the morning, but these are some

expected highs, perfect for gameday in san francisco. expected high 62, oakland 64. >> cold here, but as we have mentioned this morning, the midwest is getting pounded by a powerful storm front. it spans about a million square miles and has a barometric pressure about the same as a category 3 hurricane. powerful winds and tornados causing lots of problems, including this freak accident. an illinois woman is recovering after being impaled by a tree branch. look at what's left of her car. she was driving on her way to work when a tree toppled over, crushed her car and it went through her windshield. it pierced 41-year-old helen miller in the stomach. >> it could have been an inch in this direction and it might have been a lot different. in this case it truly was within inches of being a lot worse. >> the limb missed every major organ. she did go to the hospital but miller is said to be doing well and expected to recover. california is dealing with its largest epidemic since 1950.

more than 6200 californians have been infected with whooping cough. ten people died. all were babies, younger than three months old. the highly contagious illness has symptoms similar to the common cold but a persistent cough lasts for weeks. the babies who died were too young to be fully immunized so doctors are urging parents to get booster shots. scott mcgrew says a new assembly line is going. >> reporter: electric car maker tesla is set to officially open the new assembly plant inside the numi. it used to employ thousands making cars for general motors and toyota. that's long gone. tesla will employ several hundred, about the one shift of numi to build the electric sedan to go along with this, its sports car. senator dianne feinstein will help tesla' founder cut the

ribbon at the plant earlier this morning. once again you'll know it's time for the adventures of rocky and bulwinkle. >> the man who created the rocky and bulwinkle show has passed away in carmel. alexander anderson jr. was 90 years old. anderson was suffering with alzheimer's. now, the word" bulwinkle" comes from the name of a car dealership in berkeley where the andersons used to live. though anderson created the show, he never wrote it and he never produced it. why? because once the tv network nbc said, yeah, let's go with it, they said you've got to move to l.a. and he said not a chance. so he stayed in the bay area. he is the creator but not the writer or producer. >> really? >> reporter: understandable. >> a little trivia for you. >> we could all have been driving bulwinkles. thanks a lot. as we've been mentioning, it is ice cold outside this morning, but near at&t park giants fever is really heating

up. fans are doing anything they can do to get a ticket to game one. world series, which is tonight. >> wouldn't that be great. first pitch is at 4:57. fans still looking for that last-minute deal. kris sanchez is live with a look at the lengths some fans are willing to go to. good morning, kris. >> reporter: good morning, laura and brent. we checked stub hub, we checked craigslist, we checked ebay for tickets this morning and obviously the prices are not very recession-friendly. so a lot of fans are getting very creative in how they want to exchange for tickets. now, dan and his son, we met them yesterday, they are lifelong giants fans. they have lots of spirit, but they don't have any tickets. so foss is offering up this book which he wrote, "giants past and present." he also is offering up the delight of his company. he wants to go to the game with anybody who wants to take him and he will share all of his insider knowledge and information about the giants, what he learned in researching

that book to anyone who wants to take him to the big game. >> i'm happy to bring my book, give them a signed copy of my book and help them appreciate things that go on in the game and put it in historical context. >> reporter: now his son, he said he'd be happy to offer trivia updates in return for a trip as well. now, on craigslist we saw some other fans making some pretty creative offers of their own. one fan wants to trade two bleacher seats to a world series game to 50 yard line tickets to three niner games. another fan says that they are offering up a stay at the golden gate kings suite at the lodge in sausalito. we also found dental services. we found somebody offering up their suv and a five-night stay at a four-bedroom home in hawaii. now, pandas are not the only creatures we found in giants fever and giants pride. one animal shelter and one animal store is offering up a $5

donation for any person who brings in their pet wearing orange and black. we are talking about pet food express. they are offering this donation at two of their locations starting at 9:30 this morning to 8:00 tonight. show up with your pet wearing orange and block and they'll make a $5 donation to the animal care and control services for san francisco. one store is on market street, one on 20th avenue sglchbl. coming up, i don't know about you but one of the big things i've been watching have been those awesome headlines that the "san francisco examiner" has put out. "pound philly," now we have "trash texas." we're going to show you how barry zito is probably in a nail biter of his own. he doesn't know if he's on the roster for the world series yet. we'll tell you when they have to make that decision coming up. >> we'll look forward to it, thanks so much. be sure to join us tonight at 11:00. raj mathai will have all the

post-game highlights. >> we'll go inside the giants locker room for post-game reaction all of that at 11:00 tonight. it's 5:20 right now. we want to check in with mike because there's reports of a car into a toll plaza booth? >> reporter: this is at the bay bridge toll plaza coming over from the oakland side. reports of a silver toyota avalon going into a toll booth and then it was completely cleared, no injuries. no one injured from what i can tell and the car has cleared from the area. light volume of traffic still so 18 minute drive down westbound 80 towards the berkeley cousin. there's some distraction for folks. if you're from out of town, know they're doing construction. it's well lit up to the north of the bridge. they're erecting a new tower but that will be a distraction as you head into the city for the game. caltrain is a good option to get into the city as well. back to you guys. >> thanks, mike. when you watch the world series today, you will see a lot of panda hats. coming up next, we'll take a look at e histor tbe ndhihe panda hats. [ male announcer ] with jerry brown, it's just one dishonest smear

after another. and another. just a dishonest politician, trying to hide his record of failure. the real brown plan? more spending on out-of-control state pensions. more favors for the big teachers union, blocking education reform. more job-killing taxes and regulations. more of the same old failure from sacramento. job killer jerry brown. always more taxes, more spending, and more lost jobs.

come on... isn't it time an auto insurer gave it to you straight? that's why you should talk to state farm. but not yet. first, talk to any one of the 40 million drivers who already have state farm. 40 million. yeah, that's more than geico and progressive combined. by a lot. 40 million drivers. more savings. and discounts up to 40%. where else you gonna get discounts like that? call an agent at 1-800-state-farm or go online.

good morning, everybody. welcome back. the time now 5:24. time of tough to make out of this shot, but that's alcatraz shooting across the water up in san francisco. it's got a little bit of an orange tint to it. everybody getting in the spirit of not only halloween but of course the giants world series stuff and the city showing its true colors.

>> orange coming out loud and proud and strong. but you're going to need a big orange parka this morning. it's cold out there, rob. >> reporter: it is really chilly here in san francisco. this is one of the warmer spots around the bay area this morning. of course we're here live at at&t park where the eyes of the sporting world and the baseball world will be focused right here on san francisco. if you're going to think about heading out this morning, yes, bundle up. wear your black and orange as you head out this morning. some spots i have to point out in the north bay dipping into the 30s and 40s this morning. as we go through around game time, we should see temperatures in the 60s, but cooling quickly as we go through the game. i think as we get in the end of the game we'll probably have temperatures already dipping into the mid-50s. so today a very cold start around the bay area. if you thought yesterday morning was cold, we were about 5 to 10 degrees cooler in a few spots. areas south of san jose actually warming up pretty nicely, close to 70 in some of the warmest spots today. but the item to watch and we're

talking about the world series forecast, really focuses on tomorrow because we're expecting some showers to roll in. we'll see if that causes any delays for game two. heading into the weekend, halloween, where everybody else wears their orange and black. things will start to dry out as showers shut down for the morning and trick-or-treat time looks pretty good. so again this morning the story is bundle up and wear your giants colors as you head off to work and school. no worries about rain today. we do have to keep an eye on tomorrow's forecast for game two. now back to you in the studio. >> thanks for the update. bundle up out there. i don't have to tell him that, though. it's 5:26 right now. pablo sandoval haesn't hit like he used to but the panda hat not going out of style. the panda craze started with a nickname given to the infielder by pitcher barry zito. the hat trend started with this woman, affectionately nicknamed the panda chick by the giants announc announcer.

she bought the first panda hat on grant street in chinatown. store owners say they're graceful the trend is far from extinct. >> yes, very thankful. but this year not as thankful because he's not hitting .300 anymore. so sales went down. but he's been helping us a lot. >> it's exciting. every fan in the stand wearing panda hats are excited for me. >> the panda chick is branching out her own panda gear with panda themed mardi gras beads. she said they help sandoval get those big hits. whatever it takes. the time is 5:27. we are going to head back out to at&t park in just a few more minutes, checking in with rob and kris. and new motions filed before the sentencing of johans mehserle. find out what his lawyers want and what the prosecution is demanding. and a live look inside our studio. hey, you know what, the black and orange theme just goes

meet the real meg whitman: serving on the board of goldman sachs, whitman was caught reaping millions from insider stock deals. after ebay shareholders sued and a judge

cited the obvious conflict of interest she was forced to pay the money back. what kind of person would be involved in deals a fellow republican congressman called corrupt? and in her last year at ebay, whitman paid herself $120 million right before the company laid off 10% of it's workers. we're choosing a governor, shouldn't character matter? new this morning, the feds say they busted up a big drug ring with ties to oakland. i'm christie smith. hear what the man arrested says he was getting out of the deal. taking a live look out at at&t park this morning. a hot place to be. we have team coverage of your team today, wednesday, october 27th, "today in the bay." from nbc bay area, reporting

what matters to you, this is "today in the bay." and good morning, everybody, thanks for joining us. the time now 5:30. i'm brent cannon. >> and i'm laura garcia-cannon. i want to take you straight out to at&t ballpark with rob mayeda who has a look at the gameday forecast for the first day of the world series. >> reporter: good morning. the big fall classic right here in san francisco live from at&t park this morning. wouldn't you know it, it just happens to be the coldest morning of the fall we've seen so far around the bay area. temperatures this morning in the north bay and east bay, 30s and 40s. even downtown san francisco close to 50 this morning. so as we go hour by hour, highs everywhere around the bay area not all that bad. mid to upper 60s inland, even some 70s south of san jose. game time around san francisco i'm expecting temperatures in the low to mid-60s. but chilly weather and maybe patchy frost, you may need to scrape that off some of the windshields this morning. back to you. a major drug pipeline with oakland ties is now shut down.

police say the drug runners used amtrak to move oxycontin across state lines. "today in the bay's" christie smith is live in oakland with more on the big cross-country business. >> reporter: good morning to you. the feds say they arrested an e ex-con who was carrying oxycontin with a street value of $126,000. they say his big drug delivery actually began right here in oakland. they say it started at the oakland amtrak station a few days ago where he may have stood out buying a last-minute ticket on the coast starlight to seattle. they say lennel massey paid $360 cash for a sleeper car. on the other end at the king street station on a train much like this one, he got quite a shocker with members of a drug task force waiting for him. they say he reeked of marijuana and tried to bolt, but no dice. undercover officers grabbed him and say he was carrying about

1,650 pills with him. now, oxycontin is a prescription pain killer often abused for its morphine-like high. massey apparently said he was not actually a seller but just a courier who would earn a $10,000 payday just to carry the pills. now, agents say the case actually hints at a larger ring, but exactly how big they still don't know. christie smith, "today in the bay." a guilty verdict in a los gatos love triangle murder for hire case. a jury found businessman paul garcia, lucille estrada and another guilty of first degree murder for the death of mark achilli. today the jury ruled -- actually yesterday the jury ruled garcia hired a hitman for $9500 to kill achilli. the three are in jail and will be sentenced next month.

sentencing also set for friday for johannes mehserle. his lawyers are maneuvering to get him out of jail. they say that the former bart police officer should get probation and not spend time in prison for shooting os car grant. he was convicted in july of involuntary manslaughter. grant was an unarmed passenger on bart and was shot to death after several bart officers tried to subdue him for fighting on a train. mehserle's attorney says their client has already paid the price for what happened but prosecutors say he needs to serve jail time. mehserle could get 14 years or more in prison. we should get a closer look inside tesla's new fremont factory. they will officially unveil the assembly plant today. dianne feinstein will join leaders at a news conference this afternoon to help with the unveiling. tesla makes model s, which it calls the first mass produced car highway capable electric

vehicle. the bay area is certainly black and orange and not just because of halloween. here's a a little look at our -- it's a tribute to both. the giants play in game one in the world series at at&t park in just about 11 hours. >> so exciting. we have you covered with everything you need to know before the game. in fact kris sanchez is live at at&t park with some special news. good morning, kris. >> reporter: that's right. you know the saying extra, extra, read all about it. this is the hot off the presses "san francisco examiner." "trash texas," that's one of the headlines they have come up with for the world series. we saw some of their awesome headlines throughout their lead-up to the world series. inside there is all kinds of stuff that you need to know if you're a fan. of course all of the regular day's news and then just some sports trivia as well. nevertheless, even if you don't want to read what's inside, it is the cool thing to have. so the roster, though, the ink is not dry on that one because bruce bochy has until 10:00 to

decide who is going to make that world series roster. believe it or not, barry zito doesn't know whether or not he'll be on that roster. right now bruce bochy appears to be going with his gut and not with his wallet. that final roster is expected at 10:00 this morning. barry zito is the highest paid player for the season, but he's probably not going to make the cut. he makes $18.5 million this season alone. more than tim lincecum, matt cane, jonathan sanchez and madison bumgarner combined. there's a slight chance that he will be in the bullpen as a reliever. now, the giants, as they prepare to mess with texas, security, they're not messing around. you're going to see a lot of presence and you may not see some of the police presence that's going to be out here. giants security will take care of what's happening inside the stadium. major league baseball will provide some security as well as giants baseball, they are going to provide security as well.

outside, san francisco police will provide the security and crowd control for the area outside the stadium. now, the fans probably won't notice if they are inside that there is additional security. outside as well we will see additional coast guard presence in the water. there are going to be lots of boats. we know a lot of folks who aren't used to being on kayaks, they're taking the plunge for the first time this time around. we are also watching for you what the experts have to say about this world series matchup. the texas rangers are a tough team, but they have never won a world series and the giants, they haven't won a world series in a couple of decades, so we're listening to what the experts have to say for you this morning. we're also checking in on the vegas odds in case you are a betting man or betting woman. we are also going to check in with a psychic, who is going counter and second guessing bruce bochy's decision. that's coming up in just a little bit. >> interesting.

>> we'll see what that person knows. make sure to check out nbcbayarea.com for all of your giants coverage. lucille dropped by our newsroom earlier this week to check some things out. if you missed it, you can actually see highlights of lucille's visit on our website, helping out mike with some traffic reports. even setting in on an editorial meeting in our newsroom. >> in fact we hired lucille as a consultant here and really helping out. >> and i love l uchl. it smells a little like fish over in the traffic center. speaking of marine animals, let's take a look at the san jose area. even though the giants are playing in down, the sharks will be rooting for them but playing for their own record at the tank. a lot of folks staying after work going to the sports bars and anywhere else with a big screen for the world series. an earlier fire santa clara near 26th was put out well before 4:00. no injuries, but i may still smell smoke. that will probably be what

you're smelling in the air. the peninsula moving nicely but caltrain a great option into the city because you don't have to worry about parking. >> sounds good. thanks a lot. we want to check in with rob and take a look at the forecast. >> reporter: yeah, and you know here's one of the few places in the bay area you've got your merchandise booth all set up, no line, but it's not open yet. you've got nowhere -- everywhere around here, 24 willie mays plaza, merchandise for the world series just can't escape your field of vision this morning. once these open up, you're going to want a nice giants sweatshirt or jacket. it is cold this morning, the coldest morning so far we've seen this fall around the bay area. let's show you the forecast. as we go through the day today we'll see temperatures around game time likely in the 60s. cooling quickly, though. we don't have to worry about rain today. any showers we see we suspect will be north of sonoma county. it's tomorrow where you start to see changes. your hour by hour forecast, very chilly start.

as we jump towards lunchtime you'll see temperatures start to climb to the upper 60s to near 70. here we go, your seven-day forecast today just fine, it is tomorrow we'll see the chance of showers maybe impacting game two. as we head through halloween, showers end just in time for trick-or-treat time. so an overall decent at least second half of the weekend forecast. that's how things look here at at&t park. now back to you in the nice, warm studio. >> i know. i'm feeling a little guilty. thanks. it's 5:40 right now. decision 20 ten, we're going to break down some of the ballot propositions you may not have heard too much about. and charging you to get your own money. we're going to have a live report on how much bank fees are costing you these days. and getting to know your giants this morning. this map is edgar renteria. he plays shortstop for the orange and black. renteria is one of the only players on the team with a world series ring already. he won back in 1997 when he was with the florida marlins. let's hope he brings some of

that world series magic to san francisco. in game seven of the '97 world series, renteria knocked in the series-winning run ceiling the championship for the marlins. reporting what matters to you, you're watching "today in the bay" with laura garcia-cannon, brent cannon, business and technology with scott mcgrew, and traffic with mike inouye.

the excitement is truly building at at&t park this morning and across the bay area as giants fans get ready for game one of the world series. these are some expected highs across the bay area. not too bad. cold start to the day. 66 in palo alto, milpitas 68, hayward 65. banks are charging record fees these days. in fact fees for checking accounts are at an all-time

high. they are trying to recover fees they lost. tracie potts is live in washington, d.c., this morning and that's one of the places where they are seeing some of the highest fees these days. >> reporter: brent, good morning. good morning, everyone. bankrate.com looked at the ten largest banks and thrifts in 25 different cities around the country. what they found is that fees are at an all-time high. overdraft your account, that's $30 for each transaction. if you fail to maintain the minimum balance, that's $13 a month and atm fees now averaging $2.33. it may not include the fee for the other bank. free checking accounts down 10% over the last year because many banks aren't offering them anymore. they're trying to recoup funds because the federal reserve has said they can't automatically give you overdraft protection. banks were making $37 billion a year from that. also interest rates are low, which is good for consumers, but

bad for banks because they're trying to get a high rate of return when they lend that money. bottom line, if you want to save money, you need to stay within your atm network and don't overdraft your account. you could save over $600 a year. brent and laura, back to you. >> some good information. thanks a lot. time now 5:45. good morning, everybody. thanks for joining us. i'm brent cannon. >> and i'm laura garcia-cannon. we'll get to traffic and weather in about two minutes, but first decision 2010. this morning a new poll shows that support to legalize marijuana no longer growing like a weed in california. reuters reports 53% of likely voters now oppose proposition 19, up 10% from july. among democrats, 54% support 19 -- proposition 19 compared to 45% who oppose it. among republicans, 66% oppose proposition 19 while 30% support it. >> we want to check in with our political analyst, larry gersten.

good morning, thanks for coming by, appreciate it. always good to see you. so why does support seem to be decreasing right now? it seemed like there was a fevered pitch and a lot of support earlier but now the polls have reversed and people are owe possessesed. >> early enthusiasm but we didn't see the money coming in for this like the last time around when they tried to legalize it two or three years ago. because of that that was an early indicator something wasn't going right. what people begin to think as we get closer to the election process is, you know, what's going to happen, how is this going to affect law enforcement, what kind of controls are we going to have. we already see lots of problems in the cities trying to control how many of these dispensaries we have just for medical marijuana. all these uncertainties begin to grow. when people are uncertain, no matter what the issue, they tend to vote no. it's the conservative side of us, and i mean that with a small c. >> and you say even if it passes, victory will literally

go up in smoke. >> that is the federal government preempts the states on this issue. when it comes to dealing with any kind of drug, and marijuana, cannabis, call it what you want, has been declared a drug by the fda, the congress has the right to go ahead and determine what's going to happen. congress authorizes the fda to control the drugs. this is a drug. so a lot of people may be unhappy about that, but the fact of the matter is it is within the hands of the federal government. you know, people have looked around right now when it comes to the 14 states that have medical marijuana. well, the federal government has sort of looked the other way because they figure, well, maybe there's a medical reason. once you legalize it altogether, the feds would swoop in like that. >> and that's been of the thing, they have been kind of stand-offish in some places, but they may change that stance and become more aggressive. and the pro prop 19 camp just got a big donation from a billionaire. >> yeah.

he gave a million dollars, which boy the way is nothing compared to what he gave last time. last time he was a real leading proponent. a lot of people have held back and said you know what, even with what you think would be a more friendly administration, no, you can't flaunt the courts, you can't flaunt congress, you can't flaunt the federal government because they don't like it. >> thanks, larry. now, "today in the bay" traffic with mike inouye. >> all right. 5:48. with all the activity in the area let's not forget the warriors are also playing tonight. oakland 880 a great option, getting there also is bart. 880 not crowded now but it will be later on. also taking bart into the city, longer trains because of the world series. traffic and congestion, bart is giving longer trains as well. that will get you in to the ballpark. keep in mind after the game they typically close streets starting

at the seventh inning. so that might be an issue for you. san mateo bridge will take you over to the peninsula from the east bay. you can take caltrain up the peninsula to the ballpark as an option as well. back to you guys. >> that was me. i told larry he had enough time to go. >> we're checking in with rob this morning taking a peek at the forecast. man, i don't know what it's like out there, but it's warm in here. >> come on! >> reporter: it is really cold out. even this san francisco. folks from out of town, they come to san francisco and probably say, oh, we're going to get just nothing but fog around the city. but i can tell you we've got stars over san francisco, the moon is out, it is cold. when we lose the fog on nights like this, it's like sleeping without a blanket. all the heat from the day before goes back into space and we cool down big-time. some spots, especially around the north bay, in the 30s and 40s. so let's get right to the game

time forecast. we're talking 60s for the afternoon, so not all that bad, but it will be cooling quickly as we go through the later innings or any extra innings we might see, temperatures quickly dropping into the 50s. so hour by hour don't be surprised to find patchy fog or frost maybe on your windshield but clear skies elsewhere. in the south bay temperatures later on this afternoon as warm, getting close to 70 around morgan hill and gilroy, low to mid-60s around san francisco. today weather is not an issue other than it's bone-chilling cold this morning out here. but tomorrow stay tuned, we may see showers as we approach game two and then more showers as we kick off the weekend. that's the story here from at&t park. chilly this morning. accepted send it back to you in the heat andy warmer studio there in san jose. >> we've opened all the doors and windows here, rob, just so you won't feel too bad. the big guns are also out and the big bucks on the

campaign trail. this is the final push before the november elections. we have seen all across california reasonly when the races are tight, the big names and heavy hitters come out and it's the same across the country. bill clinton will be in illinois, john mccain will be in west virginia. analysts say by election day, more than $3 billion toetal wil be spent in television ads. >> it's obviously the way that pal s policy has moved and campaigns are won and lost. carly fiorina is in the infection. she has an infection associated with reconstructive surgery from breast cancer. the latest polls show her within six points of unseating barbara boxer. a new nook fills a niche. scott mcgrew joins us from the news room. >> barnes & noble announced an all color nook e-reader at a press conference last night. why color? because magazines and children's

books are no fun on this, the bhak and white version. the nook obviously taking on the ipad. you can order this new one starting today with shipping expected middle of next month. good news/bad news on wall street. durable good orders are up. bad news, a growing suspicion that the fed might not dedicate as much money as expected to buying up debt. just a few hundred billion dollars. and you know the world is strange when i say just a few hundred billion. now economists call what we expect the fed to do quantitative easing. you'd call it printing money. that's actually what happens. the fed just creates money out of nowhere and uses that to buy up government debt or mortgages, injecting money into the system. hopefully, laura, to get things going. >> all right, thank you very much. you'd think that after 56-year world series win drought fans would have their stress management routines down pat. this week fans are dealing with a different brand of torture.

>> bob redell continues our live coverage at willie mays plaza outside at&t park. the giants play the type of game that makes fans afraid to leave their seat. you cannot leave to go get some popcorn, you've got to stay put and watch. >> reporter: yeah, good morning. it isn't torture yet because the giants are here. remember, game one tonight against the texas rangers. now, if you want to get over here to see the game and don't have tickets, there are some other options. you can rent a kayak and go into mccovey cove. there's an orn wner of a kayak rental place that says they expect about a thousand tonight. authorities will keep a lid on that number. you've also got the knot hole, the wire gate there, the metal gate there, iron gate at right field. it's on the promenade between mccov

mccovey cove and right field. you have to rotate every few innings. and there's also talk, the city also had talk of possibly putting up a big screen tv somewhere in some central location like they did for world cup soccer. and of course you can try to buy a ticket. they're available on websites like stubhub.com but they're averaging around $800. so it would cost you to come out here to see that first pitch tonight at 4:57 here at at&t park. there's some other ways you can get your hands on tickets, creative ways, mind you. that's why we have kris sanchez just down the street to fill us in on that. >> reporter: good morning to you, bob. people get very creative around this time of year when their favorite sports team makes it into the finals. as the giants are headed to the world series, the first game tonight, we saw some very creative offers on craigslist, obviously. one of them we saw was two bleacher seats for a world series game in exchange to three

home games, 50 yard line tickets to three 49er games. i'm not sure that one will pay off for you. somebody else is offering a stay at the golden gate king suite at the lodge in sausalito. that would be a gorgeous stay, obviously. some folks are enjoying -- offering dental services. one person is offering up their suv. so how do you get to the game? five nights at a four-bedroom home in hawaii. now, the fans obviously think that the giants are going to go all the way, but what do the professional bookies think? we checked in on las vegas, and las vegas sports consultants are picking the rangers to win it. they give the rangers an edge. money is as high as $140, and that means that betting -- rather the money line is as high as $140. that means that the betting on the giants is the bigger payoff.

the "examiner" reports for every $1 you bet, you could win $1.20. obviously gambling is illegal in california so you would have to go to nevada to set your wagers. nbc sports picked the rangers to win it in six but what do those stinking guys in new york know? not this nbc station. we are picking the san francisco giants. now, we do have a resident astrologyist who is going counter to what manager bruce bochy is doing. she said she wouldn't have started tim lincecum in game one, she would have started him in game two. here's why. >> i think i would have started him for game number two because matt cane's chart who i also prepared looks a tiny bit stronger. i think i would have given timmy ailing extra day. >> reporter: the bay area woman says matt cane's birth chart has

an edge over lincecum's birth chart today but either way the giants are going to do great and win it tonight. coming up we'll talk about the pitching matchup that we'll see tonight. arguably each of the best pitchers on each team will be on the mound tonight. we'll talk about that and also talk about how the bay area is celebrating the week that is now san francisco giants pride week. back to you. >> a lot of fun. thanks so much. we're not even close to wrapping up our giants fever coverage. another hour of live reports from at&t park next. and we'll take a look at how the bay area is celebrating the giants trip to the world series. look at the orange there. plus a drug pipeline is derailed. see how feds says drug oh rougt. his drugs through the east bay.
