. >> reporter: the same goes for me growing up here, against pat burrell. i didn't play baseball against him. i did play football against him. and to see him develop into an amazing football player and to come home and play with the black and orange. i would love to know -- i would love to ask them how he would like to compare the world championship here. i'm sure it's unbelievable for him. but if he had to pick one, maybe the local team, i would hope. >> reporter: you can see this crowd is getting more and more electric. they are starting to wave their flags. but they are also really, really anxious. i think they anxious to get a glimpse of the players, to see them and let them know how proud they are. like tim lincecum and cody ross. >> reporter: we saw that shot of brian sab -- of brian sabian. when the podium gets underway, he will had get a standing ovation for the steam he put together, especially in that second half of the year, for developing the talent he did in the minor league system. this is our first world series championship parade in san fran

pat burrell back in the line up he will be the designated hitter batting 7th. aaron rowan will play center field with andres torres moving over to right field. but right now like i said, the giants i saw them in the batting practice they looked relaxed they looked ready to go. they know what this game means because it is the final chapter to the history of san francisco giants their first ever world series perhaps 27 outs away. reporting live in arlington fred inglis ktvu channel 2 news. >> thanks fred. >> let's go to san francisco. that's where the crowd at civic center plaza is growing. the first guy to be here by the way staked his spot at 12:30 this afternoon. he's got a lot of company a lot of orange and black. alcohol is not sold or allowed at this even. it's being called a family friendly event. there were similar set upper used to show world cup games there summer. they offered a simultaneous cast in 2006. this is what it looks like from hoya above news chopper 2. this crowd has grown significantly since 4:00 this afternoon. let's bring you back to the

pat burrell batting. edgar renteria on-deck. and cliff lee strikes out burl. two outs.batter, renteria. this would be the dagger. takes the lead pitch deep to left center. it keeps going. and it ends up in the stands. that's a three-run home run. the giants are pumped. it's 3-0. and in the ninth, it's brian wilson to close it out. here's the call with two outs. >> that's it. the giants, for the first time in 52 years, the giants are world champions, as they come pouring out of the dugout. >> also, flowing, that would be the champagne, being poured all over edgar renteria. he is your world series mvp. the giants with their first title since 1954, the first since moving to san francisco. back to you in the studio. >>> one more note about the series mvp, he mentioned, edgar renteria. he's in very select company. now that he's joined the exclusive group of players with two world series-winning hits. >> there's only three others in the group. all former yankee greats, lou gehrig, joe dimaggio and yogi berra. >>> next, an extraordinary look at a battle between two of america'

pat burrel is a free agent. they'll probably not pick up edgar renteria's club option for 10 1/2. they took the same rout as willie mays took in 1958 when the giants moved to san francisco. >> our goal is to make you forget 58 and remember this parade. >> i don't think anybody would have thought of having something like that in san francisco 50 years ago. >> we didn't get it done in '62, this is the next best thing, this is even better to be honest about you. i just love these kids, i enjoyed watching them play and they deserve it. >> the greatly on meg land doing that interview. >>> steph curry on the bench with an injured ankle. monta spins, kicked out, door really wright. warriors up by three points, ellis to david lee who had 15 points and zero rebounds. that after scoring zero sunday. he scored 17 '06 his 39 points in the fourth quarter, turns mike connolly into a statue on the fast-break. warriors win 115-109, they are 3-0 at home for the first time since 1990. >>> the raiders looking for their third straight win against a division foe when they take on kansas city. at 4-4 r

it's pretty ironic they're on the same team together and pat burrell didn't have a job when giants called him. >> what can you say about this guy? tim lincecum, absolutely key in the playoff run and two time cy young award winner and in the final game, eight innings before they yanked him? bochy took him out. >> i think he cow thrown a complete palm -- could have thrown a complete game. he struck out 10 batters and he was dominant and he showed some inconsistencies you know, this year. ken, there were times he wasn't the knockout pitcher that he was consistently during his cy young seasons. so that is an issue they talked about him losing some velocity. but he finished strong and he's a money pitcher. >> that's right. >> even though i praise matt cain and madison bumgarner, you go with tim lincecum if you want to win. >> i want

juan uribe, aaron rowan, pat burrell and the world series mvp edgar renteria. but there were other veterans that never tasted the postseason before. guys like aubrey huff. >> you never know what they're thinking. what they're doing. >> what will be the moment that will always ignite the moment of this night and series? >> for this night, i think it's the performance that timmy went out there. obviously edgar's hit. i was standing out there and as he hit it, we didn't know if we were going to get enough of it. when he found the gap, that was an unbelievable moment for us. >> yeah, an incredible opportunity for the veterans and how about these young guys like 21-year-old pitcher madison baumgartner. they got caught up in the middle of season. they win a world series win. sure sounds easy when you're that young. some veterans will tell them, get used to think but don't get too used to this because there's still a long history for this team. is it too early to talk about a victory next year. >> i think it is way too early. you have to have the parade at least. get

pat burrell, the guy on the left with the jacket on, out of the line-up tonight. for this post season. took extra batting practice today. tried to get his timing back. according to bruce bochy, he will be back in there tomorrow night against a left-hander cliff lee. lee in game one couldn't get through five. allowed seven runs on eight hits. the giants did what no other team had done in the last two years in the post season. they beat them. the check swing. he went. too far. >> joe: one ball, one strike. two out, nobody on. the bottom part of the line-up coming up for the rangers. that's ball two. francoeur, molina and moreland. >> joe: strike two. uribe popped 24 home runs in the regular season, has two this post season. he is strong. that's high. full count. o'day now has given up two home runs in this world series. the bullpen allowed 11 runs in the first two games. no runs last night, in an inning and a third, and tonight two runs to this point. 3-2 to uribe. pitch tandem, popped up foul from moreland. inning over. bottom of the eighth rolls in. bottom of the

but who knows, maybe even pat burrell will end up hitting a grand slam.ict about this team and can't be surprised by anything. now you have to know that madison baumgartner the 21-year- old is for real. 69 of them were strikes. he walks the very first batter with four pitches. and you know oh, here we go. but he was tough throughout. after the 2-0 lead, he comes right back with an eight pitch inning that shut down the rangers. the fifth inning eight pitches, shooting down the rangers, striking out six and making guerrero look terrible. he was just all over the place. one error in the 7th inning, no problem. he ends it all for them. and it is madison baumgartner who looks like the 50-year-old veteran out there. >> oh, i don't know. i mean, there was a lot of times where you got to step off and take a deep breath in any game. but i think i did a pretty good job of just treating it like any other game. >> the guy has just got ice running through his veins. i think he legitimately enjoys being in those situations. i mean, he was as good as i've seen him all y

pat burrell is a free agent and the giants are expected to not pick up edgar renteria's club option for10 million next season. >>> some people waited more than 50 years for that giants celebration. it was a sight to see. hundreds of thousands of people packing san francisco's streets yesterday to welcome home the world series champs. players and coaches cruised the parade route in motorized cable cars waving to fans that stood 50 deep in some places. the parade ended with an overflow crowd at civic center, the same place the original san francisco giants ended their welcome to the city parade in 1958. i can keep watching that over and over again. >> i know. you were right in the middle of it. >> i was. and, you know, the players were so approachable and so thankful. >> i think they were thrilled that they were there. and that was exciting. and for willie mays to be in the same parade... >> i know. and the weather and the crowd was amazing. even the police officers said, this is a tame crowd. lots of spirit but no violence. it was great. just the way it should be. >> yeah. >> 6:13. a pla

when he refers to the machine, he's referring to, we think, pat, his good friend on the team, pat burrell is the machine. at least that's what we all believe. brian wilson has yet to confirm that. so we are at city hall. there are so many past mayors and so many past generations that never experienced a giants world series. and now mayor gavin newsom gets to present the key to the giants. we talked about generations, in 1958 when the giants first arrived here, there was an iconic shot of willie mays coming down market street waving to the crowd. there he was again today, waving to the crowd in 2010. let's bring in lauren scott who was along the parade route earlier today. >> reporter: there are some events in life where words can do no justice, where raw emotion take over. >> i love it. i'm so happy to be here. >> this is deadly. this is so awesome. it's awesome! aweso awesome! >> best time of our life! we're number one, baby! >> a great day to be a giants fan. i'm so proud of this city, and this team, and the coming together of people and the victory. it's great. >> reporter: as the gian

no word yet on pat burrell, just to name a few. >>> it's 5:09, time to check your traffic and weather. rob pulling double duty filling in for mike and keeping tabs on those very cold temperatures out there this morning. >> it is really cold. cold enough that it is impacting your morning commute in a few spots with patchy ice. 27 degrees in napa, 32 in livermore. look at san jose and oakland, those are airport temperatures in the mid-30s this morning. so we could see some deicing operations at our local airports due to cold temperatures. frost advisory for the rest of the bay area through 9:00 this morning. we'll be dry but chilly the next few days. we'll see high temperatures at best approaching the low 50s. this cold start with the morning will take time to warm up. most of the day spent in the 40s. when you have a high near 50, that means most of your afternoon will be in the 40s. the seven-day forecast looks dry until friday night and saturday. that's our next chance of seeing raindroping back into the bay area. highway 101 heading up to san jose looks just fine, 70 miles per hour.

the others include juan uribe, pat burrell and edgar renterria. >>> voters were asked to pay $10 vehicle fees to pay for road repairs. this is the first time under a new law that counties could ask for fee approval, for up to $10 to fix the roads and to take other measures to produce -- reduce road congestion. those in sonoma and contra costa rejected it. but they approved it in san mateo, san francisco, and marin counties. >>> here's a warning for drivers in danville. today, work will begin on a major project that will probably cause big delays. four miles of buried pipe is being installed on camino tassaharrah. blackhawk drive. and crow canyon road. this is part of a recycled water project. you drivers are going to have tol share the roads with the big semi trucks and a lot of heavy equipment. be careful, as you drive around there. >> try to have a lot of patience, too. >>> it is 7:54. we want to check in with sal. see if there is any need for patience on the road. >> reporter: yeah, camino tassaharra is that tricky road. and there is plenty of places for police officers to hang out. y

no word yet on pat burrell. have a lovely thanksgiving.'s do it. >> this beautiful young lady always wanted to be on the "today" show. she's turning 18 today. according to the department of agriculture how many turkeys are cooked and eaten in the u.s. at thanksgiving? this is for al roker's book or my cd? >> i'll go with 45 million. >> yeah. >> she gets the money. >> oh, well. >> 45 million. big number. >> it is a big number. it actually represents 1 in 6 turkeys -- one-sixth of the turkeys sold year-round and about 535 million pounds of turkey. >> i wonder if it's less this year because of economy? >> yes, potentially. >> these folks are from arkansas. on average how many calories are consumed on thanksgiving? 2,3500, 4,000 or 4500 calories? >> 4500. >> you are good today. not a good day for me or al. >> no, it isn't. 4500 in one meal. >> in one meal. that representing about two and a quarters days worth of the recommended calories. it's really good to get a walk in, get some exercise, something on the day of thanksgiving. >> it's all the
