"rideshare" companies say, not quite. the business model is different. it's app-based. although many taxi drivers see "rideshare" as a blow to the taxi business, others are staying upbeat seeing new "rideshare" regulations in a positive light. >> as far as i'm concerned, it created a level playing field. >> the puc plans to revisit today's decision one year from now to see whether it has affected anything from safety to environmental quality here in california.

next season it will be something you see all the time. >> reporter: it's a whole new ballgame as far as the world and security is concerned major league baseball is rolling it out. besides the new measures of security and telling people to get out earlier, what can we expect inside the park? >> i saw you say about the imagine number at 5. that works well with your station for the magic number.

dennis ayeaye captain o'donnell at the america's cup. >> reporter: i'm the leader in your america's cup coverage, thank you very much. the united states will live to see another day thanks to the first race today and the second race which was canceled by mother nature. it started out as a picture- perfect day on the bay and it started even better for team oracle. skipper jimmy fiddle pulled off a great start to overtake new zealand and set the tone for the 12th race. oracle led wire to wire crossing the finish line 31 seconds ahead of team emirates

as they stave off a elimination for a second day because the second race was postponed because of heavy wind. >> we love a challenge. we are certainly getting what we wished for. the boys this morning it was a bit of excitement because they really embraced it and they just ran a fantastic race. we have to focus one at a time and keep chipping away. >> reporter: tim jeffrey is the america's cup communications director. and tim, i thought they pulled off a critical maneuver at the beginning of the race. how did he do that? >> a really strong start by jimmy got into a great position what we call in the business the hook so he was able to push team new zealand into a tack, means team new zealand did two slow maneuvers right before the line. >> fantastic beginning of the race there. they never gave it up. it's 8-2 now in terms of the standings for new zealand. it looks like oracle finally

got it together but they may have done so too late. >> that's a very good point. if we started last weekend instead of the week before, we would see day after day of stunning racing which is what we have now. the score line is 8-2 the challenger. it's very team new zealand and the cup's destiny is hanging by a thread. >> the champagne is on ice for a few days. why don't they just start the races earlier so. -- so the wind isn't an issue? >> the teams discuss the rules of the game and the regulations before racing started. and to change midway through the competition that's really a tough sell. you need two teams to agree. >> reporter: all right. thank you very much. maybe we'll be here again tomorrow night. >> there's a real chance of it. >> reporter: you got it. let's talk another team that isn't getting much of a chance right now. and that is the oakland raiders. terrelle pryor will be in his first monday night football

coverage beginning at 5:00 with a countdown to kickoff. stay tuned after the game for the fifth quarter. >> at least one giants fan is still having fun. this guy certainly didn't have a good day at the park. have a nice trip. see you next fall. scoreless in the fourth perez base hit to right sanchez scores. three hit day for the new york native in his return home. madison madison baumgarner doing his part at least to finish the season a high note strikes out the side in the fifth. ten strikeouts for the day for madison baumgarner who picked up his 13th win. giants beat the mets 2-1. you are looking right now at a table. they are going to have a little surf and turf aboard the kia loa which has gone 55,000 nautical miles second trip around the world. captions by: caption colorado comments@captioncolorado.com
