billion in cuts that schools have endured over the last couple of years. parents, teachers, and administrators are once again bracing for even tougher times. >> please make sure you are paying attention. all eyes on me. >> reporter: kimberly lynch is doing her best to keep her students focused though her class has grown to 34 students this year while the amount of resources keeps shrinking. she's committed to her kids. >> we're doing the best we can with what we have. what's frustrating is they could have so many more. >> we're cutting schools. >> reporter: the state schoolchildren will once again take a hit as lawmakers work to close as $18 billion budget gap. they plan to cut $3 billion from education funding. >> legislator or governor gets to close their door and call it a day. i open my door and i have children coming to me with needs. >> reporter: the middle school principal says she's had to get very creative over the last few years to make up for the drastic funding cuts. the district laid off 16 of her teachers in the past three years. she says lawmakers in sacramento just don't get it. >> we're not building with widgets and trucks. we're talking human beings here who are going shape our world and we need to take care of the children and leave the funding in the schools so we can be held accountable as we're doing. >> come to my classroom and explain to these children why you took money and resources from them and say it's going to be okay. >> reporter: lynch says her kids are already suffering with class size growing she simply can't give them the attention they deserve. >> reporter: try to have that one-on-one attention with students is very difficult. no student goes without my attention but they get less of it. that's an unfortunate thing. >> reporter: with more cuts likely on the way, she's gearing up to do even more with less. >> i'm disappointed. i am frustrated. i get angry. but i will not allow that to affect how i teach in my classroom. >> and again the state legislature could vote as early as tomorrow. in fact, it's expected to on this budget proposal. our political analyst will join news a few minutes to talk about the budget and what it means for california if in fact it passes. and today a san francisco assemblyman talked about his cannabis bill. he held a news conference on the steps of the state building in san francisco to talk about the law he proposes to regulate the pot trade if prop 19 clears voters. californians 21 and older could possess up to one ounce of marijuana for personal use. the family of oscar grant is up set tonight. the grant family aired their complaints at oakland city hall calling it another attempt by the defense to justify mehserle's actions. he was convicted of killing grant in 2009. mehserle testified that he accidentally grabbed his re revolver instead of his stun gun. he wants the verdict overturned because the jury didn't hear about a kentucky case in which a police officer did the exact same thing. >> this is not an accident. mehserle knew where his gun was and where his taser was and he chose to utilize his gun. this is another attempt by the defense to push out sentencing and elongate the case. >> mehserle is scheduled to be in court for sentencing on november 5th which is likely when a motion for a new trial will be heard. tonight fremont police say they have their man. and now they want to get him back to the bay area to have him prosecuted. 36-year-old parolee alexander diaz was taken into custody outside a home under surveillance. they believe diaz purposely struck a motorcycle officer as he was driving a stolen van in fremont on monday morning. the officer is expected to be released from the hospital later this week. the company that revolutionized the way we searched internet is setting its sights on television. scott budman joins us now. should i get my resume tape ready for google? >> google is getting into television. television as if your living room. today we saw how and what it will cost. the big challenge lots of companies want in so bring plenty of dip. a giant company, apple, is taking its shot. and a startup is also in the mix. all aiming for your tv to bring web content from your small screen to your big screen. the latest entry from google. >> that's what we're trying to do. bring together the two worlds. user doesn't have to think is it on the pc or web or dvr or tv. it's just there. >> google tv and partner number one is lodgetech will bring the gap between your pc and tv for an extra $150 you can videoconference from your living room too. pricier than apple tv, cheaper than an all in one tv. >> instead of buying a connect a tv for a couple thousand dollars. you can get this device for 299 and browse the web and get applications and wet your feet with that type of solution before jumping in and spending a couple thousands dollars on a tv. >> if it seems complex, that's okay. it's just the beginning of what will be a flood of devices to let you do more on your tv. the goal, to make the technology simple and the experience better. >> people love their tv. they get a lot of great content. it doesn't give them all their content. there are different content they got on their mobile phone or pc and they want that in one single experience. >> the devices are available now for preorder. they will be on store shelves around mid october. you can expect more choices with tv and pc matching in the coming months. legislative leaders look for ways to make california's proposed high-speed rail line quieter and that may be the least of their problem right now. the committee overseeing the project hosted a meeting from belgium. that meeting came after several cities filed suit to stop high-speed rail from cutting through their communities. the suit claims that the environmental assessment is short onetails and does not fully explore alternate routes. b.a.r.t. wants to remind people in the bay area that the system is ready to handle the load come this busy weekend in san francisco and the rest of this week for that matter. b.a.r.t. will run longer trains tomorrow through sunday as the giants take on the braves at at&t park in the first round of the national league playoffs and as crowds head to fleet week along the bay. as always, get your round trip tickets ahead of events to avoid the long lines of fans who you know are going to be out there trying to get to the events and then get home. >> going to be an exciting weekend. you know who is the head of the bandwagon? jeff ranieri is very excited about this weekend. look, you will have the giants outfit on, don't you? >> yes. yes. we spare no expense here at nbc bay area. we're also tracking the weather. we're on swag watch right now. look at this. we are just a foot or two away from a basket of some baseballs as giants are expected to come on out here any moment now and hit the field for practice. the braves were out here earlier. a special half hour show in less than 25 minutes. let's get to the swag. one of the most popular hats here is the division west hat which they sold hundreds of these so that's an option. around 15 or 20 bucks. you can go for the classy version. i'm not sure if they're going double up. i'll try it any ways. when you want to go for an official jersey, not just any jersey, this is the tim lincecum jersey number 55. you can see it's tight on me. that's because they are starting to sell out. this is a small. somehow i managed to fit into this. down here behind us we also have the division west championship shirt which is also a hot seth se seller. thousands of these have been sold and price of swag is nbc bay area shirt. the home of the giants. got to love that. let's get to the weather graphics. right now. we are also talking about some showers here across the south bay here. and that is going to linger around throughout tonight and for the game tomorrow. temperatures will be in the low 60s and by 9:00 p.m. temperatures in the 50s. very similar to what giants had in 2003 when they were also in the division series playoffs. now, one more thing. one thing i think the braves players should head to giants dugout store and buy are some of the tim lincecum arm bands because i know the giants will bring heat as we head into thursday and friday. maybe they'll have to wipe away some of the tears as giants -- i think they're going to close out with a no-hitter here. >> maybe. maybe. >> as long as you don't trip tim lincec lincecum again. >> players are coming out right now. >> you need to go away. that small jersey will fit me. bring it back. >> if that says your name, i'm impressed? >> no. >> it says lincecum. >> stay far away from him. we need him. >> thank you, jeff. the political spotlight will shine on the bay area next week. our analyst is going to talk about the last whitman/brown debate and what we might expect when we come back. a whale rotting in a california neighborhood with no plans to move it. we'll tell you why. and an amazing discovery under one of the bay area's oldest neighborhoods. an exclusive look at what was supposed to be a life line for millions of calietfornians.rn [ whitman ] they say california can't be governed anymore. i say baloney. this state belongs to all of us. we just have to decide we want to change. i know government isn't a business and it shouldn't be, but the same values of accountability and focus that make california businesses among the best in the world could do a lot to fix sacramento. i'm on a mission to create more jobs, stop wasteful spending, and improve our schools. let's get to work. ♪ let's get to work. our points from chase sapphire preferred are worth 25% more on travel. we're like forget florida, we're going on a safari. so we're on the serengeti, and seth finds a really big bone. we're talking huge. they dig it up, put it in the natural history museum and we get to name it. sethasauraus. really. your points from chase sapphire preferred are worth 25% more on travel? means better vacations. that's incredible. believe it...with chase sapphire preferred your points are worth 25% more on travel when booked through ultimate rewards. we are less than a month away from election day. there are plenty of voters who have not yet decided who they want to be the next governor. nbc political analyst is with us. next tuesday nbc bay area will hold the last of the three debates between meg whitman and jerry brown. the th this shapes up to be game changer. people will be watching this one. >> you wouldn't think of it at first. you'll see intensity rise with every one and now a lot is on the line. for brown, he has to convince people about his experience and his integrity. these are things he's been talking about. they have to believe it. for whitman, it's necessity for her to change that narrative which for the past week has been stuck not just at immigration but the way she's mismanaged that issue. >> we know if you are a staunch democrat and you made up your mind if you're a staunch republican you have made up your mind but there are a lot of people who have not made up their minds. are they likely to be convinced next tuesday? >> you have two groups. independents and latinos. that's where it starts and ends. independents are always the last to break because they have the fewest ties and fewest loyalties to any political party. latinos because whitman worked hard to cut into that latino block. she needs a good chunk of those folks. we don't know the extent to which this immigration issue completely recalibrates the entire redistribution of votes in a block that might be 20% of the entire vote. >> we know that whitman has plenty of money and jerry brown has been smart about his money. he has $20 million left or so. that money could well go into a turn out the vote effort come november 2nd. that really is the key for him, isn't it? >> turnout is more critical for democrats. republicans particularly whitman will walk her campaign with money. brown must walk his campaign with feet. that means getting out union voters and others who may come out if they can be convinced. turnout, turnout, turnout. the three most important things to worry about. >> all right. on the subject of money, the state budget finally unveiled today. did you see any surprises in it? the state legislature scheduled to vote tomorrow. do you think this is going to happen or will we see more of what we saw in years past? >> a couple assumptions about revenue coming in. they think they'll get some from the federal government. schools suffered. the poor did not suffer as much. here's the deal. the big five as we call them, governor and four leaders, they made up their minds. okay. will they convince everybody else in the legislature? they tried that before and more times than not there's a hang-up. i wouldn't just hold my heart out. there may be a last-minute glitch. >> even if they say yes, perhaps more revisions given the forecasts that they build this budget on. all right. we're bringing you the governor's debate next tuesday live here on nbc bay area. we'll get you started at 6:00. the debate begins at 6:30. and we'll have a full wrap-up right after at 7:30. jessica? >> thank you, gentlemen. are you still baffled by the statewide ballots? there is help for those undecided voters. the nonpartisan website citizen voice.org helps voters break down the issues on the november ballot. it features many debates on the ballot measures and easy to understand information on the candidates and their positions. >> we purposely make it easy to use. easy to use on the web with video and audio mini debates and easy to use with our ballot measure summaries that are understandable to voters and what a novel concept. that's what it is all about. make it easy for voters to participate when most people feel like it is going the opposite direction. >> organizers say the goal is to encourage people to participate in the political process and help people make informed decisions on election day. the carcass of a pregnant 75 ton blue whale is still beached near highway 1, 15 miles south of half moon bay. the whale washed ashore over the weekend. researchers are examining samples from the remains to find out how the mother whale died. scientists are giving up on plans to move the whale because of its enormous size. right now the plan is to let nature take its course. >> you may be able to blame your desk job for packing on those pounds. even when workers eat healthier and exercise more away from work, they can gain weight. people have become less active at work and that may be contributing to the rise in obesity. researchers say taking walks or jogging for 15 minutes during the work day may be more effective than blocking out a big chunk of time for exercise when you are away from work. >> or you could start doing a little batting practice. jeff ranieri is trying to do that now. work his way into the batting cage down there. jeff? >> yes. they are now out on the field. jessica, you will be happy to hear i'm far way from tim lincecum. i haven't seen him come out yet. a media blitz right now. we'll fan off. a special half hour show in just minutes. stay tuned for that with the entire sports team. they are just now getting into the batting area to get comfortable with that strike zone. weather out here not too bad at the current moment. a little bit of wind but the fog holding off. more to the south we have been dealing with those showers we talked about all day yesterday from a system that continues to move to the south. it's creating a beautiful shot here but certainly it is out of character for this time of year to get this kind of cool weather and this much shower activity throughout the south bay. there's aer clust of shors in the south bay ious yoghbr sou that's brought you some skaecattered activit t his afternoon. it will push o tonighth and mo a this this area of low pressure pushes off toward the east. let's get a look at the giants game day forecast as we head into tomorrow. again, the first game in a series of five against the atlanta braves. 6:30 p.m. temperatures in the low 60s. fog should hold off by then. 8:00 p.m., low clouds under aer 50s to near 60. that wind at 15 to 20 miles per hour will give us a bit of a windchill. it's all about the layers out here. all right. weather headlines show temperatures will be warming up as we head gradually into this weekend with low 80s back for your inland spots but still staying on the cooler side throughout the coastline with the on again/off again fog pattern for us here. so this area of low pressure will kick off toward the east and that will help to end the showers as we head through tonight. so tomorrow it's about drying and it's also about warming in the forecast. so your seven day you can get more on at nbcbayarea.com. and you know, i was showing you the swag earlier. i'm reaching down. look. this swag just three bucks at the giants dugout store and more high priced items in here. this is what the players have been warming up in. this division west playoff jersey. it is $65. yes. the price tag is still on it because i have to return it. they didn't give me really anything for free. >> giants don't have to. >> i tried. >> i would just make a mad dash out of the park before they see you. >> come on. up next, an nbc bay area exclusive. a discovery in the presidio that could be a monument to one of san francisco's greatest failures. [ male announcer ] after twenty-eight long years of washington partisanship this is barbara boxer's california. trillions in reckless, wasteful spending. destroying small business. killing jobs. crushing hopes. we can change this, but only if we change the people we send to washington. california cannot afford boxer for six more long years. i'm carly fiorina and i approved this message. a stunning find in san francisco's presidio. a forgotten park. may be a never known park of the city's history. >> buried deep in the presidio. not a san francisco success story but one of the city's gold rush era failures as we go now on a history dig. >> reporter: san francisco's presidio was filled with artifacts of its more than 200-year history. this archaeologist was searching for something deeper. >> i went through a couple old maps and in 1971 they showed these shaft holes and tunnel openings. >> reporter: rumors of an old water tunnel buried in the presidio. >> it's become a bit of a folklore around here. i've been talking about it for so long without any proof. >> reporter: last week during work to remove an old army landfill, his proof emerged from its earthly grave. >> what we've been looking at is an opening of a very deep and long tunnel. >> reporter: newspapers from 1853 describe the ground breaking of this glorious tunnel that was to deliver water from nearby mountain lake to a blossoming san francisco. >> the tunnel here and supportive beams on the side. this will be transformative for the city and to compete with manhattan who got their reservoir system set up. >> this is an example of the kinds of big projects that were going on and visionary projects. we have gold. we've got a new city. we're going to build this tunnel. >> reporter: but after burrowing three quarters of a mile into the hillside, the early pioneers gave up on the project and the tunnel was buried. >> we hear a lot in history books about the people that tried big things and succeeded. the people that get overlooked are those that tried big and failed big. >> reporter: the tunnel's remergens among the living is only temporary. crews filled it in this morning. he hopes it will be redug eventually so presidio visitors can get a look at a different kind of city history. >> this is an effort where someone was trying, huge endeavor, to bring water to the huge city of san francisco after the gold rush and failed gloriously. >> the archaeologists hope to dig the tunnel up again in the spring when the rains have stopped and they hope to eventually keep it on display so that the public can have a look as well. >> that would be interesting. another little goody to look at in presidio. >> are we ready for the playoffs? >> i think we're ready. >> i think so too. another guy we know is ready too. raj mathai is live at at&t park. tell us what's coming in the next half hour? >> i don't know if i'm ready. i'm rusty. we haven't done this in 2003. >> it's been a while. >> we have to be ready. we used to do this all the time. here we are after our seven-year drought. a live 30-minute special. you can see the giants behind me. they are getting ready to stretch and get in batting practice. we'll be joined by him hudson of the atlanta braves and j.t. snowe and give you the updates of what the giants are going to do in terms of their playoff roster. we've got answers. stick around. giants fever live from at&t park. if you're a giants fan, don't go anywhere. stick around. hi! welcome to progressive.com. 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. meet the real meg whitman: serving on the board of goldman sachs, whitman was caught reaping millions from insider stock deals. after ebay shareholders sued and a judge cited the obvious conflict of interest she was forced to pay the money back. what kind of person would be involved in deals a fellow republican congressman called corrupt? and in her last year at ebay, whitman paid herself $120 million right before the company laid off 10% of it's workers. we're choosing a governor, shouldn't character matter? hello, everybody. welcome to giants fever live. we're coming to you live from at&t park. any time we show you it's batting practice, that means something big is happening. the giants on the field right now. they just took the field about five minutes ago. thanks for joining us tonight. i'm raj mathai. we haven't done this in about seven years. we're glad to be back because the giants are back. we have a lot going on in the next 30 minutes. game one of this divisional series against the braves begins 24 hours from right now. okay. so our bullet points of what's coming up in the next 30 minutes, the playoff roster. everyone asking who will be on the roster and who will be off the roster. we have answers. bruce bochy addressing the media a short while ago. we'll check in with freddy sanchez and we'll check in with j.t. snowe and tim hudson. tim hudson of the braves will join us and j.t. snowe who is still a giants special assistant ant part of the giants last playoff run. we start with our headlines. tim lincecum obviously is the headline with the giants and one of the headliners in the country. lincecum, giants biggest star, and this is his first taste of the playoffs even with the smoking ball. comes as starting pitcher follow tomorrow night's game one. he loves the spotlight. rock star status along with his dog. we'll hear from lincecum in just a moment. the braves are here. they arrived at sfo yesterday and late this afternoon they got here to the ballpark. historically they don't do well here. the braves are 7-17 in san francisco since 2003. this season they have lost two of their three games here. and not just here in the bay area. playoff games across the country. we had a no-hitter. how about this? roy halladay of the philadelphia phillies. pitched a perfect game early this season. a no-hitter against dusty baker and the cincinnati reds. only the second time in baseball history that a pitcher has thrown a no-hitter. don larson did it in the 1950s in the world series. roy halladay, a no-hitter in his first playoff game as philadelphia phillies beat the cincinnati reds in game one of their series. you never know what could happen here with tim lincecum. okay. what is happening now? the giants are getting ready for some batting practice. tomorrow it's a rare start time. 6:30 p.m. 6:37 to be exact. it's different because the shadows here in san francisco half the field will be in sunlight and half the field will be in the shade. the giants trying to adjust that. the braves took batting practice about 90 minutes ago. it's going to start with tim lincecum who met with the media just a short while ago. let's take a look at lincecum. >> i went through a little more of a hectic period in my career. obviously that rough month made me want to turn things around and just do something different and between then just changing my in between starts routine. going a little bit harder. a little bit more conditioning. but, yeah, i guess if that's one thing you want to look to, that's it. >> he's not just a fastball/curveball guy. good change-up. that's a big pitch. he throws a slider. now he has four pitches he'll throw any time and i think he's changed a little bit. he doesn't try to power his way through hitters as much as he used to and go for strikeouts. >> one of the most compelling story lines not just tim lincecum in game one tomorrow night against derek lowe of the atlantic braves, it is who is on the roster for the postseason and who will be off of the roster. b barry zito said this comes with the territory. for zito it's most likely he will not be on the playoff roster for round one. the deadline to set the rofter is tomorrow morning. we'll know officially but once again it's likely he will not be in round one roster. zito is the only pitcher in the giants starting rotation with playoff experience. six appearances in the postseason with the as and biggest performance in the playoffs when he beat the twins ace 3-2 in 2006. he has a 4-3 playoff record. nowadays his numbers are ugly. he hasn't won a road game since five months ago. his salary, well, this is a big talking point for giants fans. not just zito. the giants three most expensive players will not be in the starting lineup. barry zito you see the numbers there. close to 19 million. aaron will not be on there and edgar renteria you see at $10 million. we're in the braves dugout. tim hudson, you look familiar like you have lived in the bay area for a while. >> i've been known to roam these parts. >> welcome back to the bay area. are you excited? obviously you're excited about the series. you guys are the underdog according to the national press coming into the series. >> it's great to be back in the bay area. spent a lot of great times here. i'm excited to be here. i feel like our club has a good chance to win this series even though we are probably underdogs. we've got a lot of injuries we dealt with toward the end of the year. this team has a lot of heart and guts and that's a big reason we're here. >> all of those years with barry zito and a chance he'll be off the playoff roster. you're buddies with him. any advice at this point? >> keep your head up, man. it's one of those things where you can't really control what decisions a team makes. all you can control is what you do and your preparation and barry is great teammate. i'm sure he's supporting his teammate and he's a great guy and whether he's on the playoff roster in the dugout he'll pull for his club and try to do the best thing for them. >> i don't want the politically correct answer here. the batter on the giants, the hitter that's the most challenging you might fear the most? >> you know, they are all pretty challenging. you know, the young kid they have. buster posy has made a big splash this year and obviously he's rookie of the year talks and he's a great young player. he's a lot of fun to watch from afar. we'll do everything we can to keep him from hurting us. >> last time i talked with you you had a normal california accent. now you have a twang. what's happening here? >> back to my roots. >> good luck this series. nice to see you again. >> that would be the black eyed peas here. they are working the clubhouse party on sunday. sanchez proves that he's clearly the best dancer on this team. all of this really nice award for a guy that has never tasted the postseason in his long career and a guy who spent much of his childhood in a doctor's office. let's bring in lauren banky. >> freddy sanchez waited his entire career to make it to the postseason and now he's finally there. but for sanchez and his family, the journey to the bigs is not where this story began. his baseball career could have been over years before it even began. >> runners go. swing and bouncing ball into right field. base hit. here comes sanchez. >> you would never know it by the way he sprints around the bases or snares line drives off an opponents' bat but when he was born, a doctor told his mother he would never walk. >> i was born with a club foot and my left foot was pigeon toed. i had to wear the casting and kind of like a forest gump thing. >> he wore a cast until he was 2 years old with corrective surgery done at 13 months. >> i remember very little. i just hear stories. >> stories like the one where his mother took her young son to the doctor three to four times a week on a city bus through downtown los angeles for two years. >> the appreciation that i have for what she went through and my dad went through, you know, can't put into words. >> his right leg is shorter than his left and his calf muscles aren't as developed. >> i never thought about it through the minor leagues or college or high school. i never thought about it at all. this isn't what defines me obviously or my defining moment to get here was just glad that i'm here and grateful for everything that i have. >> at at&t park, lauren banky, nbc bay area sports. >> should you be stretching or are you done with your playing career?
