to play but he hinted at replacing aaron rowand. >> there may be a time for change but you got to remember who got you here to the dance and hopefully they come around for you. >> torres 3 for 25. the two hitter freddy sanchez, 2 for 25, distributed one run in 6 ball games. >>> how about the deer valley team, finished the regular season 10-0, 57-0 during the last four seasons, they have earned an instant bert to the north sectionals who start november 4th. >>> roberta seemed worried about the preseason game. the warriors win 100-78 is the final. >>> i have the top 5. at number 5 chris johnson's streak of 100 rushing yards gains is now at 8. he ran for 111 tonight. the titans steam rolled the jags 30 to 3. more pre-son hoops just for roberta. lebron james took his talents

aaron rowand gets a big hit today. it has a little major i can. >> it's baseball season and election season, right now cody ross, he could win if he ran any office. cody ross gets the vote. here is cole hamels trying to stop ross. >> how do you game plan for hitting differently than he usually does? >> hit him. i'm just kidding. you have to battle -- hope he doesn't hit us, no. >> that is pretty fun. what are you going to do, hit em. and joe blanton, maybe. >> and they might bring in halladay back, that is what they're thinking of. >> whether they go with hamels versus bum garner. let's check the american league championship series, the yankees as well the rangers going at it in game four there. that is 2-2 in the fourth. giants, two games away, two wins away from the world series. it's hard to believe. >> it could be a rematch of the giants and yankees back in 1962. that is wrap from the ballpark. >> there is a lot of fun. >> spencer is here with a check on the weather. >> game forecast, cooler for tomorrow. game will

the 1-0 to aaron rowand. almost hit him. 2-0. you wonder, as we look forward in this series, as moto now joins sergio romo. you look at the game 6, if this series gets there, c.j. wilson came out with a blister problem on his pitching hand. a guy like derek holland, even with his three walks in this game, is somebody who could get the ball as a starter. he made ten starts during the regular season. strike 1 on rowand. we know that sanchez will face colby lewis in game three. and the scheduled starters are bumgarner and tommy hunter for game four on sunday. >> tim: you anticipate cliff lee coming back on monday, off day tuesday, and perhaps that's a very good point. perhaps holland will be pitching in game six if it gets that far. >> joe: and you wonder if the situation presents itself where a guy like cliff lee could come back on short rest and work in place of tommy hunter, who struggled this postseason. here's a shot into right center! aaron rowand has driven home uribe! here comes renteria. he can walk home. it's a two-run tri

we had a post practice interview set up with aaron rowand but he changed his mind. he spent nine years in philadelphia. >> pat burrell this morning when i turned the tv on, to be the best you have to beat the best. >> this is what you sign up for. in order to be the best you have to beat the best. >> that is one of my slogans. ric flair. >> are you ready for the big win. the winless 49ers are 6 1/2 point favorites to beat the raiders. the raiders likely to be without their starting quarterback bruce gradkows gradkowski, hurt his shoulder last sunday and hasn't practiced all week. jason campbell will likely start. >>> tiger woods is not here. look at those pants. john daley, the pga tour. great course. the first round leader is rocco mediate. the men's and women's tour are here. the women in the east bay. black hawk country club. this shot belongs to paula kremer. nice shot by the defending u.s. open champion. sets up an easy birdie. paula creamer will drop off her trophy. brittany lincecum, no relation is the first round leader. >>> eight years ago tonight, what wer

the giants, though, come back with aaron rowand bottom 6th left for dead not playing of late, a two-run homer of clayton richard and the momentum is all giants from 6-0 back to 6-3. then four batters later the before mentioned torres hits a little dribbler. not many guys will beat that out of the giants, but torres does. it's 6-4 and the fans really at this juncture you could sense hey, maybe the giants are going to come all the way back, but then in the 9th aubrey huff, a drive to right with freddy sanchez who had walked the board. freddy sanchez just blew it. bad day. he obviously thought it was going to hit the wall. it was caught. he doubled at first and that's your game. the san diego padres 6, the giants 4. if you not to play around with history, the dodgers back in 1996 led the padres going way back here by three games with three to play. padres swept them, won the national league west. so again tomorrow is a key game and they'll go with barry zito. they moved zito back to get matt cain it. didn't work out, but once again the giants need only win tomorrow or win on sunday and the

we will see if bruce bochy makes a move for him in game three, putting aaron rowand in the starting lineup. you told us before the game started the biggest edge the phillies had was their athleticism and that shined. >> eric: on the base pads. first inning chase utley steals a back after he gets on bases. and then they pull off the double steal. what that does, that leaves first base open. they walk jayson werth, and then this guy, he takes one off the wall. that does wonders for his confidence. again, running the bases, an advantage the phillies have. they used it tonight. that's why they won >> chris: we get on a plane and fly out to san francisco for game three. it is an afternoon tilt and it will be a good one. cole hamels is going for the philadelphia phillies. he's had the second best e.r.a. in the nl since july 1st, going against matt cain but he has never beaten the philadelphia phillies. the only n. l. team he has yet to defeat. do you want to change anything in your picks? >> no, i'm not changing anything. it will be a tough row to hoe. >> they have to sweep out in san francisco.

with philly sending left-hander cole hamels to the mound, aaron rowand may get the start in center field in place of the struggling andres torres, the giants lead off hitter is just 3 for 25 in the post-season with 12 strikeouts. >> it may be time for a change there. but you also got to remember who got you here, who brought you to the dance, stay with them and hopefully they come around with you. >> like i always say i try to do my best. it's not like i go out there and i'm going to thought do that. i don't want to get on base like that. i try to do my best. >>> while torres isn't the only giant struggling at the plate number 2 hitter freddy sanchez 4 for 25 in the post-season, aubrey huff has driven in one run in six games. they all have to get it together. >>> tim lincecum may have silenced the philly bats in game 1 put the philly fans made plenty of noise when the franchise took the mound. lincecum gets tonight's "they said it" award. >> i want winners. >> these fans are whistling at lincecum. what did you think of the wizs? >> umm, i was thinking "i must have a really nice butt beca
