>> try to wear this cap as much as possible. i have had it since my rookie years so any chance i get a chance to wear it, i go with it. i switched up my gloves here and there, and i may be just cleaning my spikes before the game. that may be my only superstition. >> reporter: here are the ticket prices if you are still looking for a ticket for today's game. they range wildly on the website stubhub from $529 to $15,500 for the premium seats. on craigslist find tickets from around $215 to $1,200. and on ebay from $250 to $2,600. stubhub is the official retailer here for the giants and they are going to be on sale until two hours before the game. of course, i can only imagine the prices are only going to go up. this would be the first time the san francisco giants won the world series at home if it ends up happening, which of

course it will, right, sydnie? >> of course! of course. keeping the faith. anne makovec at at&t park, thank you, game one of the world series. inthink i see the first fan behind you, anne. thank you very much. the traditional world series bet is on between san francisco mayor newsom and the mayor of arlington, texas. the losing city's mayor will travel to the winner's hometown for a day of community service and have to wear the winning team's jersey. san francisco is throwing in crab, bread and beer. arlington is going to be sending barbecue to the mayor if they lose. want to let you know that bart will be running longer trains because of the big game today. people are encouraged to buy roundtrip tickets to avoid waiting in line at the ticket machines. now, another option is to use a clipper card and avoid the paper tickets altogether. in other news, crews are still working on a fire near

fire to the area. they were successful in keeping it contained, it did not spread to the neighboring unit. >> reporter: the majority of the party supply store was destroyed. but no injuries to any fire personnel here fighting this fire early this morning. >> thank you, mark sayre in san jose. let's get another check of weather and traffic. we are going to start with elizabeth. a lot of people want to get to work, get it done and get home to watch the game. >> or maybe they are taking the day off. i know one person. i won't name names. but yeah, so traffic has been quiet so far this morning. we haven't seen a whole lot of accidents or congestion. i do want to let you know about one thing going on in petaluma. northbound 101 so it is going against the commute approaching petaluma boulevard south a car rolled over into a ditch. all the activity including chp is off to the shoulder so we don't have sensors in that exact area but we are told it's

"abolish the public schools." he even called our schools "insidious" and "socialism." as families struggle to raise their kids, to provide a good education, harmer bragged, "we can design a plan to dismantle them." david harmer is just too radical. we need jerry mcnerney. protecting local schools from devastating cuts. he's a moderate, endorsed by the stockton record, the independent, and our local teachers. i'm jerry mcnerney, and i approved this message. our state has a huge deficit. meg whitman's plan will make it billions worse by eliminating the capital gains tax for wealthy investors, including herself.

economists say her plan will "rip a hole in the budget" and is "deeply flawed". analysts for the l.a. times say whitman's plan is a "pure handout" to the rich creating a "huge risk" to schools and public safety. jerry brown's against this unfair giveaway because it will take billions from our children when we can least afford it. get california working again-for all of us. come on in, and i'll give you a free quote. quote and compare in about 8 minutes. now, that's progressive. call or click today. crack down on smoking. they've sent a resolution to the f-d-a, new this morning the board of supervisors in contra costa county wants to crack down on smoking. in fact, they sent a resolution

[ 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.

state budget cuts are crippling my classroom, so i can't believe the sacramento politicians cut a backroom deal that will give our state's wealthiest corporations a new billion dollar tax give-away, a new handout that can only mean larger class sizes and even more teacher layoffs. but passing prop 24 can change all that. prop 24 repeals the unfair corporate give-away and puts our priorities first. vote yes on prop 24, because it's time to give our schools a break, not the big corporations.

stubhub you can find them ranging from $529 to, get this, $15,500. some of the other sites like craigslist and ebay have them arnold $200 to around $1,200. so --have them around $200 to $1,200. i'm here with jo-ellen a spokeswoman for stubhub. how does this compare with other world series tickets? >> demand is much higher than years past and fans are excited looking for tickets. so as you said, tickets start on stubhub for $550. but that's not to say that that will go up or down. it really depends. the marketplace is always fluctuating. right now they are close to 1,000 tickets still rabel. everything is fully garn ted so you will get into the game. now prices start at $500 for today's game but for tomorrow prices actually are a little cheaper. so if you are looking to go to the game today may be a little too expensive they start at $400 tomorrow and go up from

there. but on average fans are paying $800 per ticket so it goes across the board even for the games in texas fans are paying about $800. >> very good. thank you. >> reporter: there will be a big screen live presentation at the civic center plaza today for the first pitch at 4:57. there are also some places you can line april long the field. but they will usher you away after three innings. pick your poison, pay a lot and enjoy it. do it for free and don't have the full experience. >> do like me you put on your pajamas have a party at home and stand right next to the tv screen. >> reporter: you know, on saturday night after they won, i just heard everybody screaming outside my window and the horns honking so i was kept up to date of what's going on. >> thank you, anne makovec at at&t park. there is no way you can be

they went in the topside and cut a hole to keep the fire to that area. they kept it confined not to the neighboring unit. one. neighbors units was a print store. fire crews concerned about the materials inside the printing store so they made it a priority to protect that print store which they did successfully. they say most of the material inside the party supply store was destroyed in the early- morning fire. no injuries to any fire crews or members of the public here. the business was vacant at the time of the fire. >> i see somebody up on the roof behind you so they are already inspecting it and check the damage. thank you, mark sayre. less than a week until the election and a big push by some elected officials to get out the vote in silicon valley. kcbs radio's matt bigler joins us live by phone. matt, good morning. i understand there's a specific group that they want to see at the polls. >> reporter: yeah, we are talking about legal immigrants. and the background on this is

that there was a news conference here in san jose yesterday at the santa clara county government offices where immigrant right groups as well as local politician got together to send a simple message. if you are a legal immigrant and you are registered to vote, do so next tuesday. the fact of the matter is many immigrants have found themselves the target of not only recent legislation in arizona but also a series of negative campaign commercials. we spoke with a congresswoman who said it frightened legal immigrants from turning out on election day and says that's unfortunate. >> we are a nation of immigrants. we have to have laws we enforce but to allow people to create a climate fear is not good for the country or community. every vote counts. >> reporter: that message was echoed by others at the news conference. many saying that if we want to create a tolerant society, then voting is one of the best ways

to do that. a recent report this month by the pugh hispanic center is republican immigrants are more likely to vote. matt bigler for cbs 5. >> thank you. it is 6:41. world series fever, have you caught it? we'll have a live report from our sister station in dallas, texas and the friendly wager we have with them. >> pinpoint weather is sponsored by chase sapphire. unlimited rewards, exceptional experiences.

next round of "quantitative easing" to spend billions over the next few months. the fed may buy as much as a trillion dollars worth of u.s. treasuries right off the bat figuring that that large purchase will lower borrowing costs particularly for corporations so they may use that money to fuel future takeover activity but they are not getting that according to that report. the stock market is heading lower along with the report on durable goods orders for september. while they rose 3.3%, that was mainly fueled by a huge order in airplanes for boeing. when you take that away, durable goods orders actually fell by 1%. they have declined in computer sales. report on manufacturing, one of the better parts of the economy but it's showing signs of slowing in the past couple of months. right now the dow is lower by 63, nasdaq down buy 1, s&p off by 5. get ready to look for some changes in your yahoo email account. the company is going to roll out changes big makeover for

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. baccalaureate. correct.

up ready to take their seats and there are a couple of places here on the field that you can come and watch for free. but the problem is that you would be ushered away after three innings kind of on a rotation basis. if you want to check that out that's on the promenade on the right-hand side of the field. the right field wall and mccovey cove. also, they are going to be having a live broadcast of the game at civic center plaza. here's a look at some of the diehards who lined up extremely early this morning. let hear what they have to say. guess we are not going to hear that. but i am betting that they are saying "go, giants" the vibe all overtown. still some tickets available online. stubhub.com, craigslist and ebay, and they are going to be available on stubhub at least until 2 hours before the game. but, you know, just come on down here. the whole area around at&t park is going to be abuzz coming up in a few hours.

again at 7:30. so a lot of traffic going on later on tonight. for right now if you are heading towards the bay bridge toll plaza, this is what it looks like up the incline. they did turn the metering lights on around 6:20, but now our backups at the bay bridge toll plaza are not as bad as we have seen in the past few days. it's only backed up to the end of the parking lot inching towards the west grand overcrossing but i have a feeling some people may take the day off to watch the game. not sure what's going on. let's check with tracy, live at at&t park. tracy, i guess there's a few fans out there already. >> a few fans but they are down on the other end where anne s not that many down where i am but i did want to let you know i have my cup this morning. my cup of java. i got coffee because it's a little chilly out here this morning. you're probably going to need something warm to get you going. we have a frost advisory in effect for north bay valleys and mountains for this morning until 8:00 a.m. temperatures could be as low as 32 degrees. it would be the first official frost, hey, good morning, of
