good morning thank you for joining us on this friday october 29th i'm pam cook. >> and i'm dave clark. let's check weather and traffic. >> thank you very much. happy friday everybody. cloudy south bay parts of the east bay and for others some rain and for others a steady rain. from pacifica sfo north. south of that it's orphan clouds effect. there are breaks in the clouds. that will be the forecast today. if you're north rain moderate to heavy. for others cool and cloudy. northbound 101 san francisco looks good. it's getting a little bit better in san francisco. we've had a lot of fender benders because of the weather. now let's move along and take a look at bay bridge toll propyla say. getting a little backup. let's go back to the desk.

the red hot giants will be leaving for texas in couple of hours. they are halfway to the world championships since moving to san francisco since 1958. kraig debro is joining us. there is barricades going up as we speak. >> reporter: they are around back of the barricades. a long boring story i will tell you about that. 1958 the giants moved here and four years later they are in the world series. football is said to be a game of inches. according to what happened baseball could also be a game in inch. >> a fly ball into centerfield. well hit. at the wall. this ball hits the top of the wall. >> reporter: if ian would have hit that ball a couple of more inches the rangers would have had a run. instead, matt cain pitched around that double and ian kinsler didn't score and the

rangers didn't score for the rest of the night. look at what happened to ed guard renteria the bottom of the first. >> the 0-1 pitch. renteria slaps one down the right. >> reporter: he cleared the fence more than a few inches. ed guard renteria hits one out. 1-0 giants. they never look back. juan uribe made it 2-0 a couple of innings later. they went running away with the game from beyond that point. one of the guys that contributed in the eighth inning was aaron rhone. he was a high press free agent. he got here a couple of years ago he hasn't performed. he's been staying prepared. i guess he couldn't complain he's not playing. he has not complained. he told us last night that despite the fact they are up 2- 0 in this world series texas rangers they won the american league championship so they must be a very good team too.

>> you don't change anything. you are not changing any mind set how you approach the first game or the second game or going into the third game. you know, there is a reason that the texas rangers are playing the world series too. they are a very good team. you've got to keep your foot on the throttle and keep pushing forward. >> reporter: you're not going to be able to tell that to the fans. everybody has high expectations now. they were high when the they got to the world series. now they are ahead 2-0 expectations are ahead even higher. people have to forget about the last game where they didn't do so well. they have to forget about the error they made the last inning. that way they can concentrate better. that's what texas rangers will be doing. they will be going to the home ballpark being in their own beds. that could feel a little bit better. the game tomorrow night will be

an early start. 3:30. the rangers and giants play tomorrow night and saturday night may be a different story. we hope it's the same result as last night. kraig debro. >> our ktvu news crew captured the crazy scene in the left field stands. they are having some fun. the entire stadium rocked with excitement following san francisco second straight victory. many fans began chanting sweet confidence the giants will win the next two games. others hope the giants will lose so they can win the title back home in san francisco. the giants fly to texas this morning for game three of the world series. they are expected to leave at & t park about 9:00 a.m.. the giants will arrive in texas early this afternoon and they will then work out at the ballpark in arlington e texas early this evening.

few moments ago. he told me there were plenty of accidents earl think this morning. but the accidents have slowed up a little. about an hour and a half ago we stopped to talk to a cab by involved in an accident on southbound 280 near 101. he showed us the water caught in his cab. he told usth semi drove past him and threw water on his windshield. he tried to slow down and the cab driver told us the chp officer slammed right into him. when he stopped the water flooding on the freeway came into his cab. fortunately no one was hurt. >> think should close the road before they hit the road. it's kind of dangerous. when i was driving on the left lane, a big truck was driving parallel to me. the water spill all to the

windshield. i couldn't see anything. i tried to make a stop carefully. >> reporter: flooding isn't the only problem for commuters and drivers this morning. we have pictures of this tree down at 18th and arkansas here in san francisco. it was blocking the road and that tree almost hit a car when it fell. as i mentioned earlier this morning we're live along 101 this morning. we're monitoring traffic. sal, how does it look? >> it looks good out there. the activity in san francisco has slowed down a little bit. in fact, let's take a look at our san francisco camera. it looks pretty good coming into the downtown area along northbound 101. it's not raining there anymore. on the peninsula highway 101 and 280 also improving as the rain moves through. we don't have accidents or stalls reported here. the traffic is moderate if you're driving to the south
