Were down two games to nothing at this moment. They need some hometown love to nurse them back. You point out correctly in 1986, the mets came back from a 20 deficit, won the whole world series. Meanwhile, last night it was clicker madness. I was going between the Republican Debate and the game. Ive got to tell you, this debate was entertaining. If you like your candidate, you probably think your candidate did a good job. I thought they all did well. George w whats his name . Jeb bush. Yeah. Not good. Shaky low energy . Hes in trouble, im telling you. Now, marco rubio, whether you like him or not, that kid is pretty strong. Eloquent. I thought christie did very well as well. Donald trump, he was there. They didnt give him a lot of time. Listen to this. The only will be why youre doing it now is were running against the same position, and attacking me is going to help you. That land i dont know, i think jeb may be on to Something Else pretty soon. The highlights and the lowlights including did you see this yesterday . Some army blimp, nobody inside, broke loose in maryland. Floated for hours taking down power lines as it went through right into pennsylvania. So the army has blimps. Who knew . Who knew. Anyway, last night there were two kind of cool things on tv. The met game, of course, which started to be less cool, and the debate. Lets put em up side by side, did you go back and forth . I did back and forth. How about you . Mostly the met game. I got the gist of the debate later. Anyway, mike woods, what did you watch . I had the met game on. I actually kind of forgot that the debate [laughter] to be honest with you. But, you know, it was big. It was interesting to see because i think the media was more on display last night. Sounds like it. The candidates really went after the media and the questions that they were asking. Right. They compared it to the democratic debate and how the democrats got softball questions and, you know, with the republicans they were really hitting them hard. There we go, side by side. I see. What do you choose . It was a good night for tv the, i have to say. I went with the ball game, and im comfortable with my decision. I do feel if i watch, it somehow helps the team. Well, it obviously didnt work last night. So stop watching. Im the reason . [laughter] i stopped watching when we were up 10. I had the game on, they went to commercial, i put on the debate, and i came back and the bases were loaded. Thats exactly when friday night at ty field, well be there. Citi field, rain for today is pretty much out of here. Weve got clear skies tomorrow as well as later on today. But look atom of these rain totals that have come through, mainly up around northern new jersey, around the Hudson Valley this the bigger totals. 3. 74 inches of rain, ramsey, about 2. 81 inches, some of those places got beat down by that rainfall. But, you know, adding to the water shed, its not a bad thing, central park, 1. 48 inches of rain. A good little dose of rain, and this was some localized flooding but not a major problem. Heres what we have with the showers for us this morning. Some still coming through Suffolk County and through parts of connecticut, mainly the central and ian sections and eastern sections. The rains coming to a close for most everyone else. Just a little left over in fairfield county. 64 at central park, 57 in islip. These temps are actually warmer than your average highs, and we will make it back up to 74 more a high later this afternoon with some sunshine. Breezy for the next couple of days, over the weekend. For the most part, its dry, a quick showers possible late sunday, and that doesnt look like a big deal, not for the problems doing the marathon or spectating. Lets bring in inez and see whats happening with our commute. Good morning, mike. We have some problems starting off with the verrazano bridge, there was an accident quickly clear, upper level brooklynbound blocking two lanes. Youre left with delays there. The Staten Island expressway background up to the developings bridge. Lets go to our cameras, lie, this is by jericho turnpike eastbound, partially blocking the right lane. Traffic jammed up for at least a mile traveling eastbound if you want to take the Northern State parkway, right now thats looking byrd. Westbound side, youre fine. The westside highway, there was a flippedover vehicle by 125th street, thats been cleared away, still a slow ride between the 150s and the 120s. And be with the trains, new Jersey Transit morris and essex line, theres a 15 minute delay because of a stalled train. Back to you. Oh, boy, this is going to be tough, but its certainly possible, right, rosanna . Yeah, totally possible. They couldnt get out of kansas city fast enough after losing the first two games to the royals. Last night not such a great game it was a blowout. I think they need some hometown love, and were going to give them plenty of it friday night. Duke castiglione is still in kansas city. The teams not even there anymore you should have hopped on the plane with them. I should have. Hey, the 1985 cardinals were up two games to none on the kansas royals came back and won that series. The 1986 Boston Red Sox were up two games to none on the new york mets, the mets came back to win that series, so well see. Lets show you the highlights from last nights game. Top of the fourth we go, runners at first and second, two out. Daniel murphy raced home from second. Mets up 1zip. But here at the top of the fifth, this is where the wheels come off. Starter jacob degrom gets in trouble. 02 pitch to center field be, home from second, gordon. Were all tied at 1. Three batters later, runners at second and third, eric has her who knocked in the gamewinning run in game one, here comes rios followed by escobar, and the damage wasnt done. Morales, he singles, and then that capped off a fourrun inning marked off the fist time a mets starter would give up more than three runs in a game since september t 3 user september 3rd. The meants now come ohm in an 02 hole. They live 7 to what people said. I told jake not everything has to be a strike, you know . Youve got to move it around, you have got to change speeds, at. If youre going to continue to pound the strike zone, theyre going to put it in play. The royals are a good hitting team, 19, and ill tell you what, a little more history here. The 1996 yankees, i was at both these games. I went to i can remember it vividly. They were down 02 to the Atlanta Braves and came back and won that series. So, greg, rosanna, ill see you at the ballpark tomorrow night. You were terrific last night, saw the postshow. You stayed up for the postshow . Yeah, i was into it. Thats why im a little shaky right now. Let me help you out. The team, they got in about 4 00 this morning. The buses pulled in, the players quickly made their way to the parking lot im a little surprised they didnt go back to the hotel, get a nights rest. Today. I think the team wanted them to come in, get acclimated, theyve got a game tomorrow. I think they should have gotten under the covers. You know what . Theres nothing like sleeping in your own bed, greg. Lid dahlem, right . No one does it like your own bed, get in the comfort of your own place. Thats probably why they took the late flight. We saw the team around 4 00 this morning but, of course, a lot of the players did not want to speak to the media after losing in game two. Lets show you what the buseses looked like when they rolled in here. Again, the players park their cars behind this fencedin area, so we got a sneak peek at them getting out of here around 4 00 this morning. They took that three hour flight home from kansas city and then got on their way. Last night in new york city this was the scene at playwright on 35th street. A lot of the fans out staying positive, making sure that the good vibes were getting to the team, but they fell short. It started to fall apart in the fifth inning in game two. The fans are hopeful that theyve got this Home Field Advantage now, that game three will be different, and outfielder Curtis Granderson had this message for the fans after the game. Continue to keep the confidence, its definitely not over with yet. Weve got to come to citi field, its going to be a fun be game three on friday. Its going to be a busy day here at citi field. The royals are set to work out at 2 00, the mets at 4 p. M. , and which i know, greg and rosanna be, you will be at will take place friday at citi field. Back over to you guys. Yes, we will be there for the pregame show. It starts at 7 00. Rosanna and i are going to be slightly freaked out. Its out of our natural habitat. I know. But we have some really good guests planned, plus duke will be there. Its going to be great. Meanwhile, on another channel was the debate last night. I got the highlights. I think im safe in saying that jeb bush had a terrible night. Yeah. I thought everybody was pretty good. Politics wasnt the only topic on the theres jeb. He was weak. Okay, this is the very beginning. The moderators got hit pretty good by the candidates. That marco rubio, watch him. Donald trump was strong if you like him. Robert moses has a complete recap. Well, greg and rosanna, if you were watching the mets and you can be forgiven for that heres the Readers Digest version of what you missed candidates yelling over each other, and ted cruz saying hell buy one of the moderators some dekeel around tequila or pot brownies. In a development that few saw coming, many of the more memorable moments involved candidates not named donald trump. Jeb bush, who once again puttered on a debate stage, criticized his protege, senator marco rubio, for missing too many senate vote during his run for president. But, marco, when you signed up for this, this was a sixyear term, and you should be showing up to work. Literally, the senate, what is it, like a french workweek . Rubio attacked bush by invoking john mccain. I dont remember you ever complaining about john mccains vote record, the only reason why youre doing it now attacking you is going to help me. All of the candidates seemed united in their disdain for the media in general. This is not a cage match. And you look at the questions, john kasich, will you insult two people over here, marco rubio, why dont you resign, jeb bush, why have your numbers fallen. Substantive issues . [cheers and applause] ill buy you a tequila. Or even some famous colorado brownies. Chris christie had his own lecture for the questions after a query on whether daily fantasy football should be classified as gambling. Wait a second. We have 19 trillion in debt, people out of work, isis and alqaeda attacking us, and were talking about fantasy football . [cheers and applause] the candidates did discuss some oh issues like ben carsons plan for a flat tax. Carson, the new front runner in this race, took issue with a claim that it would leave the government with too little revenue. Thats not true, it works out very well. Trump was quieter than normal but not silent by any means. He hammered Ohio Governor john kasich for turning negative. He was such a nice guy, and attack. Then his poll numbers tanked, thats why hes on the end, and he got nasty. You know what . [laughter] i told you it was good. We didnt even mention the undercard debate. Lindsey graham is getting high marx, actress bo derek betweened put Lindsey Graham on the main stage, and john mccain said congrats on another gop debate. Lindsey graham, what did he do that was so great . Apparently, he performed quite well according to the buzz on twitter this morning. But im in agreement with you guys, i think marco rubio had a command performance, jeb bush certainly struggled. Hes going to New Hampshire i thought governor christie was pretty good too. He wasty. Yes, he was. He got in some punches, and it was entertaining, and somewhat informative at the times. I loved when donald trump started talking about the superp pac it is. You know, i thought it was an interesting thing because it is the elephant in the room. Meanwhile, some sad news. A 16yearold student from Loyola School has died after he collided with a player during a soccer match. It happened on monday. His family says it was a streak freak, nonviolent collision that led to the internal injuries that killed this young man, just a sophomore in high school. This family says he was operated on several times before he died. Loyola was playing a match against rival United Nations international be school. Apparently, this young man was conscious, he kept complaining of his, a pain in his side, was dealing with internal bleeding x he passed away. Our condolences to the family. Really, rae sad. All right, folks, on to other matters. There are fewer and fewer places where you can smoke a cigarette including possibly your own apartment. Whats the deal, rosanna . Well, smoking in city subsidized housing could be a nono if a proposed bill is passed by the city council. It would ban smoking in apartments at all new york city financed Affordable Housing as well as existing other developments. If somebody is smoking on your apartment floor, you can tell down the hall. You can. You can smell it. You can even smell it in your apartment sometimes. Councilman says its not about dismacement or harassment displacement or harassment, but about clean air. What are you going to do, you going to start knocking on are you smoking a cigarette in here . We dont even do that for pot. Yeah, sometimes you do. Really . Some people do, rosanna, right . Depends who you are and what youre into. Yeah. Mike woods, whats up . Were working on getting the rain out of town. We had a decent amount come through here, and its moving up to new england, and even there it wont be there much longer. The showers at in this point for the tristate focused in on to Suffolk County, light to moderate showers, but as you make your way to the west, the drier skies are starting to make the take over here. And this is not quite the last of everything, theres one more. Well take a look at that. Central park, partly cloudy skies, 64 degrees. Looks like a warm day for sure. Warm temps all throughout the northeast, boston sitting at 66 right now, 56 in bridgeport or make that williamsport, 51 in buffalo. All those temps are well above normal, and it is going to be a well above normal day with the temperatures because a cold fronts coming through, and thats sweeping the showers and so on out of the tristate. This is the last of it for the most part. Now, there is that next trough of low pressure which is going to try to kick through the tristate, but it doesnt hold together. Theres not a lot of moisture with it, so a few quick sprinkles to the north and west. And then well see drier skies as High Pressure takes over starting tonight. Todays high temps, 74, saturday, halloween itself, small chance of showers late on sunday. Want to say happy birthday to iris. Got lots of fans, and your family loves you too. Happy birthday to you. Ines, whats going on with the commute . Big backups, where are they . Mike, a lot of problems going on this morning. New jersey, told you about an earlier accident, route 80 eastbound, two lanes are blocked. Also on 80 by 23 southbound, 280, exit 14, and watch out for a stall on route 17 southbound by farview avenue. Lets go to our cameras, take a look at jeff coe turnpike. Jericho turnpike. Shoulder. Traffic moving a little better, westbound as well as eastbound. We have flashing lights there. George Washington Bridge driving into the city this morning, 40 on the upper level, 30 on the lower level. Lincoln tunnel inbound, 4550, on the outbound side theres an accident on route 3, holland tunnels 30 from each approach, and the trains, morris and essex line, have a 15minute delay. What kind of day is it going to be . Mike says not bad. I dont know if you went outside about 5 30 yesterday raining like crazy. Like cats and dogs. I ate an entire ice cream cake. Right . [laughter] all by yourself . Were you celebrating a birthday . It was from tasty delight, so its probably 4 less calories . Oh, please. Yeah. Good stuff with the crust in the middle. So delicious. Did it have the crumbly chocolate . Yeah, the crust, the little thing in the middle. Now today youre going to run it out because its going to be selling 18 homes . Easy. Building them all in four and a half months . Now that was a leap. I was calling in every favor i could, to track down enough lumber to get the job done. And i knew i could rely on American Express to help me buy those building materials. There are always going to be unknowns. You just have to be ready for them. Another step on the journey. Will you be ready when growth presents itself . For the girl scout meeting. Okay. For the soccer team. For the girl scout meeting. How many meetings are you having . At stop shop, prices have just gone down. The savings keep going up. Which makes the checkout lane, victory lane. My stop shop. We work weekends here. Because it works for our patients. Centers of america in make appointments that fit their schedules, even on weekends. Because we believe in being here when our patients need us, so they can keep living their busy lives. Weekend appointments are now available here. Learn more at all right. The baseball game will be friday night, the home game, the world series. 20 at this point. Okay, so what . We did this in 86. Been there, done that. So what, rosanna, its tough. It would have been a lot better if they won last night. They start inside kansas city, when youve got the whole stadium cheering for the team. I would bet a lot of money if they were going to win on friday. You know what . You and i are going to do our best to cheer them on. And a lot of money means a lot a lot of things to different people. [laughter] three years ago Superstorm Sandy hit our area and devastated big, big sections of our area. Boardwalks have been rebuilt, seawalls have been erected, bays cleared of debris, thousands of homes restored, yet its still not finished. There are till lots of people who have not been able to get in their homes, held back by insurance money and fema and all that other, you know, bureaucratic red tape. That was a wild time in the aftermath. First of all, breezy point, where i used to summer, on fire, i know. And the aftermath of Power Outages and the gas lines, do you remember what we had to put up with . Still struggling some parts all these years later. Well have a bit more on this some people
