and the conversation of we still got four more games to win. >> excitement turns to anticipation as the giants get ready for game one of the world series. good morning. thanks for joining us. >> good morning, everybody. we have two words for you. game on. just one day to savor that status as national league champions now. the g-men have their eye on the big prize. that of course is a world series title. the giants not the only ones taking the field at at&t park today. we have a team in place as well. christy smith and meteorologist christina loren are live outside the ballpark. we get this party started with comcast sportsnet bay area amy gutierrez, live on the field. one of these gives featuring two mvp contenders, buster posey and miguel cabrera. we couldn't ask for much more, huh? >> you really can't. this is going to be amazing. the first time these two teams are seeing each other in a world

series. i'm just glad we're saying game one and not game seven. so it's going to be fun for fans. if we take a look at the hitting, this is going to come down to not just hitting but who's going to fare better in the batter's box. of course, both teams, detroit especially, has a formidable lineup. the giants, a scrappy lineup. because he was batting .500, guys, you can't disregard prince fielder who's been quiet in the postseason for the tigers but is always a threat. the two big dogs, like you mentioned, miguel cabrera, buster posey. cabrera hit .313 in the lcs. cabrera has been shut down since, batting just .178 total for the postseason. but altogether, the giants won six elimination games to get to this point so nothing is insurmountable for these guys.

>> i think everybody on the team now understands the difficulty. i think they have a pretty good idea of what to expect. >> there's always a wild card in these games. i'm picking delmon young of the tigers. he was the ncsmvp for detroit. two home runs, two walks and six rbi. so watch out for him. he is the tigers dh but starting in left field for the tigers tonight. barry zito squares off against verlander. tonight, 5:00, first pitch. >> thank you very much, good to see you. besides hitting, the biggest story is the pitching. tonight zito takes the mound for the giants against verlander, arguably the best pitcher in the entire league right now.

giants have released their entire rotation for this series. bumgarner will pitch tomorrow. vogelsong for game three. matt cain is going to pitch in game four. and tim lincecum will provide relief in the bull pen. good lineup. >> seems like just yesterday we celebrated the big win. it's been a quick turnaround out at at&t park. crews had very little time. just about 24 hours to get things ready. "today in the bay's" christy smith is live with a look at this orange transformation. >> good morning. i was really surprised within the last two minutes or so. we're starting to see giants fans wondering around outside at&t park, trying to see if there is any way they can get a look at this world series. some of them walking around the

back. they don't have tickets though. this has turned into a baseball town. we were at the dugout store yesterday. i have to tell you, it looks like the stock exchange, the floor of the stock exchange, people just grabbing anything they could with the sf giants logo on it. the city really has only had about 24 hours to officially get ready for this and to get the ballpark ready for this. one of the keys to all this, though, is trying to keep the field dry at at&t park. crews worked on the infield and brought in thousands of pounds of new dry dirt. after all the rain that we've seen. they used giant vacuums to suck up the water. inside, vendors setting up. restaurants happy. t-shirt makers very busy. now, i just spoke with one man who drove here from fresno on a whim. >> i did my homework and in 2010 there were people waiting in

line at 5:00 in the morning to get just i think three innings from the knot hole in right field. >> of course this isn't a new party for the giants. they're using their playbook from the 2010 world series. more than 1,000 journalists are here this week to cover it. reporting live in san francisco, christy smith, "today in the bay." 6:05. the most famous broken bat in america is now found after getting lost. hunter pence shattered his bat in game seven of the nlcs. take a look. the bat actually connected with the ball three times before the ball took off into the outfield. that bat disappeared after the game. apparently it had been sold to a season ticket holder for about $400 at a game used merchandise stall.

the giants say they've tracked down the owner of the bat and the fans want pence to actually have it back. >> as it should be. >> yeah, no kidding. we'll have continuing coverage of all things giants throughout the morning and all day long. check out our homepage for the latest world series news. >> the question on everybody's mind, will the weather at att park cooperate? we all remember of course the soggy scene monday night. big rain drenching the field. but no problem as they wrapped up that nlcs game seven. for more on today's forecast, christina loren is live outside, just soaking up that vibe. >> good morning, jon. we're live out here. the temperature is dropping off. it is cooling down now that that little front has come through. behind that front, we've got cold air pushing into the city right now. it is chilly this morning.

let's check the radar. as you make your way out that front door, we have some showers that could slow you down. for the most part, the showers are right now. located along 101 and 280. that's where you find slick conditions, all the way down from redwood city. i think a lot of this activity is going to fall apart before it makes its way into san jose. as we head throughout the morning hours, we are expecting this to continue to clear. 53 degrees in san francisco. we're at 49 in livermore and 47 in san jose. forecast tells the story of the day. we're only going to reach the 60s, mid-60s inland. 63 degrees bay side. about 59 degrees at the coast today. now, i did tell you i was going to try to sneak in. of course, i'm not going to trespass but i wanted to sneak in and find out exactly why they're opening up this area so early. turns out, it's not for a good thing at all.

it's for the tigers fans. it's for the tigers. we don't want that. it's all about the giants. this is san francisco. how we looking on your roads this morning? >> we're taking another look at the bay, oakland. there's mist. there's mist and drizzle and heavy mist to cause some slick roadways still. 6 o at its worst but the map shops you also the green, 880 and 580 showing slicker roads because of that. also slowing at westbound. the volume builds. other accident, north 880 at seventh street ramp. the freeway itself is open, passing the scene, slicker roads. slow also south 880 from the san

mateo bridge into freemont. we're seeing speeds holding up close to 60 as the volume builds. life look outside shows you the peninsula side. rain soaked roads. 101 shows the wet roads. now some slowing. drier roads here, guys, back to you. >> 6:09 now. a few controversial stories. including a story we first brought you, one you'll only see on nbc bay area. two girls banned from school allegedly over their severe food allergies. "today in the bay" live in the newsroom. >> we told you how 9-year-old ella and her 7-year-old sister sara were turned away from their school tuesday morning. today, the girls will be allowed to go to school after the superintendent has a change of heart. the girl's mother says the district kicked them out of van meter elementary to avoid

dealing with their life threatening allergy, ies to nut. but the official says they were denied because they did not live in the district. the family says they showed proof of residency. a cell tower that could go up in the evergreen neighborhood could be up for debate before the city's planning commission. verizon wants to install the tower near evergreen elementary but parents and neighbores are worried about radiation. tonight's public hearing is set for 6:30 inside san jose city council chambers. mountview now, people concerned there about a busy road near graham middle school will meet tonight to talk about ways to improve student safety on castro street. this month alone, three children have been hit on castro. all three are expected to be okay. that meeting is scheduled for tonight, 7:00, at graham middle school. that's a look at your south bay headlines. right now, some good news at the pump. a little relief for california drivers. that includes bay area drivers.

take a look at the prices. compared to last week. gas prices dropping as much as 22 cents. experts say prices will keep on dropping. could even slip below $4 a gallon by the end of the week. that would be a nice early christmas gift. take a look at the san jose pumps. arturo santiago's checking out the prices you'll see all morning long. he'll join us with a live report to explain what is driving the prices down. >> it's 6:11. coming up, a deadly shark attack along the california coastline. we'll tell you which beach is now shut down. and the waters the shark may be lurking in right now. plus, the new ipad mini is smaller than this. we'll take a look coming up in just a bit. swiping your information from your latest purchase. why barnes & noble is telling you to make sure to check your receipt. we'll have that just ahead. alright let's break it down.

welcome back. right now, we're watching the skies live over san jose. you can see that foggy look. christina will be along live from the park where we tell you about your weather for all over the area. >> stay out of the water, jon. a popular beach closed following a deadly shark attack. police say a 39-year-old surfer was killed yesterday just off surf beach which is near vandenberg air force base. investigators are now looking at the surf board to identify the bite marks. the attack happened near the same spot where another surfer died two years ago. shark ex-experts believed a great white was responsible then. >> white sharks have attacked people in waist deep water with the majority of the attacks between 10 and 30 foot water

depth because that's where the seals and sea leones are and that's where we are. >> since 1950, there have been 13 deaths out of approximately 109 shark attacks along california's coastline. it is 6:15 now. time for a quick check on the top stories. asking for the public's health to try to find a killer who murdered a mother and two children in sacramento. investigators say the three were found dead in their home and the family car was missing. the father and a neighbor have been questioned by police but so far no suspects have been identified. two girls will be allowed back into school today. the girls were kicked out of the school because administrators say they didn't live in the district. the family says they believe they were kicked out because of their food allergies. their residency status is still under investigation. to see if the giants can keep that magical baseball run

going. they face off in game one of the world series. game time set for 5:00 at att park. a consumer warning for shoppers of barnes & noble. some of its credit card swiping devices may have been tampered with. 63 stores across 9 states including here in california were affected. a federal investigation is under way. yesterday, apple doing what everybody expected, intrucing that smaller version of the ipad. >> scott mcgrew says not a much smaller price. >> that's right. it was the one surprise, the price. well, that, and they introduced ipad 4. the ipad mini though was the star of the show. apple says the least expensive ipad mini will be $329.

that's more money than the price of other small tab lelets it's supposed to compete against. now, apple shares nearly always fall after a big announcement. investigators buy on the rumor, sell on the news. this is a bigger drop than usual. we suspect it's because of the worry over the mini's price. now, apple says it will open up preorders for this new ipad mini on friday. friday. what a strange coincidence. that is the very same day microsoft's competing tablet, the surface, goes on sale. this is the first time microsoft has built a computer of any kind and it's pretty clear apple didn't pick that date randomly. san francisco gamemaker zynga will report its profits today and the news is going to be ugly. we already know they will cut staff. they will shut down games as well. at this point, we don't know exactly what titles. they had a brief shining moment

but it's never quite lived up to its hope so we'll watch that carefully. we're watching san francisco this morning, hoping the giants have a lot of shining moments in the coming days. live at att park ahead of game one. >> good morning. we're having a good time out here. boding well for our giants tonight. showers coming down heavily but have subsided. now it's the cold air and the wind we're concerned about when it comes to tonight's game. that wind could carry that ball out to left field as the storm system has shifted our wind significantly. now, what else is improving. look at that batch of rain. it is falling apart. we had light showers over san jose. still have some active weather,

half-moon valley. you want to travel cautiously. 51 in sunnyvale. 47 in san jose. your weather headlines tell the story. we're going to see a few showers more of thely in the north bay. partial clearing today. that sun will be out much more so than it has been all week long. we're going to see a lot of sunshine. dry warm pattern ahead. we stop the clock on your future cast. you can see maybe some lingering activity. nice and sunny from santa rosa. that sun will be out from about 3:00 which bodes very well for game time. we could see a renegade stray shower move over the yard. i think the best chance will be about 6:00. winds traditionally come out of the west which would carry the

ball out to the cove. our winds are going to be out of the southwest, taking that ball potentially out to left field, left center. something these guys aren't used to out here. 64 degrees in san jose. thursday, we're up to the upper 60s. upper 70s on saturday. 80s by the weekend. enjoy that sunshine while it lasts. things are going to change yet again next week. another area of low pressure impacting our pattern. but this one is more of the tropical nature. now, back out here live at the park, we're going to show you, as the sun comes up, the beautiful sunshine over the park. that's going to come into play in tonight's game.

right now, let's see how those showers are impacting your drive. >> this is 280 northbound. you see the glowing lights. watch those on and off ramps. we see the volume building but no major slowing. we're looking at slowing at the area we just showed with our camera shot. second burst of the morning. the green area where you might have some wet roadways. 280 and 101. right now, on the peninsula, getting hit with some rain. southbound side for a while, so

mist kicked up by the tires here, but now things are calming down. south, past tesla and into freemont. another look outside. the peninsula side. approaching 101, things are getting a little slower. the drizzle making things look like it's completely whited out. meanwhile, the other side of the bay, we're looking at the bay bridge toll plaza. a smooth drive into the city. consider bart, cal train, the ferries. it's a typical schedule but they're prepared to add additional service because this is not typical game. 6:22. coming up, on the campaign trail. good morning! wow.

decision 2012 this morning. changing the tone. with that election just two weeks away. president obama is now trying to change things up. he's say specifically governor romney cannot be trusted. >> another new poll shows romney closing the gap.

"today in the bay's" tracie pots live. >> reporter: let's go to those polls. "washington post"/abc, first big poll to show romney on top by one. it's the opposite of another poll which echoes our nbc poll, president obama on top by one. this is really a horse race. they're essentially tied. that's why we're seeing them focus on the battleground states. the president making eight stops in three days. governor romney in nevada, in iowa and in ohio. and he says the president's campaign is running out of steam. >> status quo campaign, you know, going forward with the same ideas as we've seen is why he's slipping. >> unlike mitt romney, i'm proud to talk about what's in my plan. because, first of all, the math actually adds up. >> president obama's been on the

campaign trail in the last day, accusing romney of covering up his real position to try to win the election. >> all right, thank you very much, tracie. two weeks to go, bare knuckles time, they're going at it. still ahead, it is game time. >> i'm excited to pitch either time i get on the mound. this is a more exciting opportunity than most. >> all right. let's do it. we count down as the giants get ready for the very first pitch of the 2012 world series. our question, will rain force a delay? we have your forecast coming up. ♪ ♪ we were skipping stones ♪ and letting go ♪ over the river and down the road ♪ [ female announcer ] at nature valley, we know nature comes together in amazing ways.

>> good morning to you, jon and laura. i think we learned from the last game that nothing is going to slow down this team. these guys are ready. let's talk about what's happening. temperatures are cool. heavy rain has pushed south of san francisco. we have one more little area that's going to impact us. basically, we are getting out of the woods when it comes to the showery forecast we've been dealing with since the beginning of the week. watch out for slick conditions along 280 this morning. 51 degrees in sunnyvale. the forecast tells the story of the day. a touch warmer today, inland. you're only going to make it into the upper 50s at the coast today. it's going to be kind of chilly.

you can leave the rain geer at home tonight. still, even though it's not going to be raining, you're going to want to bring a towel. bring that towel so we can see the fans. i love that shot. over to you, mike. >> whatever, you're the meteorologist. i'm shopping you the traffic. this is a slow area after that burst hit. look how far south it starts. those yellow arows showing you all the way up. 40s and 50s now. that's a little heavier than we usually see. we're looking over here to north 85 and north 87 as well. folks try to get into work maybe a little early. we'll see if that affects your

each ni evening commute. peninsula also a little slow. overlaying the weather data. blue shows puddling on the roadways. slick all along the peninsula. the volume builds, we have speeds still close to the limit though up into san mateo. back to you. >> new this morning, police releasing a sketch of a man they say attempted to rob somebody. officers say a man who looks like this approached the man last tuesday, tried to take his backpack. that suspect took off without that backpack. the victim did suffer some minor injuries. anybody who has any information about attempted robbery are asking to call mountain view police. the deadly plane crash in

eastern contra costa county. a plane went down near marsh creek road. witnesses say they heard a sputtering engine noise just before it crashed. the plane was a home built experimental aircraft. a pilot and one other passenger died in that crash. >> also, the fire department is relying on voters to keep its stations open. the county putting a $75 parcel tax known as measure q on the ballot. expected to raise nearly $17 million for the fire department. if it fails, the department will have to shut down 10 of its 28 fire stations over the next three years. the first station shutdowns would start in january. the fire department says that could result in longer response times and more fire damage. 6:34. some good news for drivers. gas prices finally coming down actually quite a bit. here in the bay area, we've seen

about a 20 cent drop. experts predict prices will go even lower just in time for thanksgiving. now, live in san jose with more details. >> here at this arco station, the price of gas is just under $4 a gallon for regular unleaded. it does punctuate the drop in prices. let's look at the bay area numbers. according to the daily fuel gauge report, average prices in san francisco are 4.45 a gallon which is down from last week's 4 .65. and in san jose, prices are already averaging $4.34 a gallon, down from $4.55 last week. there are a number of factors involved in this drop. refineries are coming back online. the winter blend of gas is

cheaper. and people are basically driving less. the statewide average for regular unleaded gas is $4.40 a gallon. it had reached a record high of 4.67 a gallon on october 9th. >> of course it's a good sign, going from $80 to $100. i have a truck that cost $120 to fill up so probably now it will be $95. >> we're in hard times now. a lot of people out of work. people looking for bargains and what not. the prices go down, it's good for everybody. >> now, experts think that prices can go even lower with supplies increasing. they can possibly get down to $4 a gallon. that's an average by thanksgiving. and then average around $3.75 a gallon by the end of the year. let's hope for that. live in san jose, i'm arturo santiago, "today in the bay." good sign. 6:36 right now.

we've been through a lot in this postseason already. i'm just happy to be a part of it and get to experience what's going on. >> when you're looking at six games and, really, anything can happen. >> ready to rally. this morning, we're counting down to the first pitch of game one of the world series. it's a quick turnaround from the giants who just clinched the pennant a little more than 24 hours ago. we have a team in place as well. christy smith and christina loren are outside the ballpark this morning. but we begin with comcast sportsnet on the field. the series will no doubt be about pitching. >> no doubt, the entire series starts here tonight, and we're really looking at two totally different pitchers. tigers starter verlander, their

ace, he's a power pitcher. the reigning mvp. and of course barry vito, whose fastball tops out at about 85 miles an hour. verlander, three postseason starts, .74 e.r.a. and 25 strikeouts. and zito a game five nlcs victory. he only allows six hits. for zito, it's not about what he's done. he's focused on the task at hand. >> essentially to look at the whole story and everything else doesn't really help me because i have a routine i have to stick to. so i'm excited to pitch every time i get on the mound and this is a more exciting opportunity than most. >> well, detroit, they're the tigers, but, guys, i'm calling it, the giants are the real cats. just how many lives do they have?

they won six elimination games to get to this spot. they certainly have momentum on their side. let's get it back to you. >> all right, amy, thank you very much. now, tickets to the game very hard to come by as we show you the series starting off tonight. tickets tough to get. people stepping up and learning how far they will go to get those tickets. they'll do anything. it's the giants. christy smith is live with a look at what it will take to finally score some hot tickets. >> good morning. if you have one of these world series tickets, you know you are lucky because there are people out here at a t&t park trying t get into this game. the giants are out of tickets. ticket resellers have them but they are expensive. so giants fans are willing to go way out just to score these world series tickets.

people are asking him, hey, can you get me any tickets? he says no, his pull just doesn't go that far. standing room only. going for about $350. reseller stub hub has them. game one tickets, about $7,850. that's the premium club seats. down to $5,000. $2,000 for field club seats. i just spoke with one man who has no ticket at all but he's got a plan. >> i came all the way from pr s fres fresno. i drove up last night over the 415 this morning. i need to see the giants. i can't afford a $500 ticket so i'm here. >> now, if you've got tickets and are willing to trade them to a ticketless fan, they are ready to deal. one man from daily city tells the chronicle he'd jump in mccovey cove in his underwear for you for those tickets. another woman from oakland says

she'd eat a cockroach for your entertainment. another woman says she'd clean your house. there's another man who has a high dollar mattress that he'd be willing to trade for some tickets into this game. fans willing to do just about anything. reporting live in san francisco, christy smith, today in the bay. >> there are mattresses that sell for, like, 70 grand but i don't want somebody else's mattress. i'll pass. the giants holding that contest to give away free tickets. >> today, they have the winner. the winning photo submitted in the giants contest. basically contestants had to insert a picture of the pitcher into other photos. this one is from "singing in the rain." >> that is brilliant. hopefully he'll be singing in the rain with some sweet baseball music. people wondering about the rain. we all remember the soggy scene

on monday. just a torrential downpour. that's right, they got it done. in that final inning of the nlcs game seven. for more, let's check in with meteorologist christina loren. good morning. >> hey, good morning. that's right, i'm out here live, at&t park. the good news is the rain has subsided. we don't think we're going to see rain strong enough to postpone any sort of game. 15 minutes maybe at best. what i want to talk about is the radar this morning. we still have some showers coming down from half-moon bay all the way south to loss altos hills. this is the last wave of moisture before we start to dry out. let's talk about temperatures this morning. it's cool out there. we're at 53 in san francisco. in san jose, you're in the 40s.

gilr gilroy, close to the 40s. maybe a few showers up in the north bay. not expecting much activity after 9:00 a.m., after midmorning. wednesday, looks good. this afternoon looks fantastic. that sunshine comes right back out. we'll see a dry pattern resume. that will continue into the upcoming weekend. we stop the clock on your future cast. even the clouds starting to clear up in the north bay. the first game of the world series is happening. it looks like it's going to be mostly clear in san francisco. we continue that till about 8:00 p.m. we may see a renegade shower move over the park. i do believe the breeze is going to become more of a factor. let's talk about highs for today. mostly in the 60s. we'll be back in the 70s

tomorrow. as you can see, we are going to warm up. they're not going to last long. more rain next week. the wind is playing more of a factor. you can see those flags pointed in the opposite direction. it shifted the wind. now they'll come out of the west-southwest. that can take the ball out to l left field. lots of rain let over here that we're playing in. >> i told yowl, no jumping in the puddlinge,puddles. you and my kids. traffic is slowing down because of wet roads.

i think some folks are trying to get into the office early to get out early. this is causing more slowing. folks trying to get out of that backup. north 87 has just been a slow drive. 85, coming off 101. all the way up. continuing up through saratoga. this is the heavier one making more folks travel north on 17 as well. now, we overlay this weather data. now, the blue is where we may still have some puddling. maybe have slick conditions especially watching those offer ramps. the san mateo bridge is all right. look at the conditions. we see the glowing ghts.

on the hayward side, from the toll plaza, we see the water. that's causing an issue for visibility. oakland, 880 shows that. now of course the toll plaza is backed up. look at this, beautiful international orange. there, mass transit, bart, uni, all available. an update on developing news near sacramento. live in our newsroom.
