Here are some goings-on about town this weekend. What are you up to?
Giants Baseball
Friday through Sunday, the San Francisco Giants will finish their set of home games against the Pittsburgh Pirates at AT&T Park at the following times:
· 7:15 p.m., Friday
· 6:05 p.m., Saturday
· 1:05 p.m., Sunday
As a reminder to fans and other motorists, the SFMTA will close eastbound King Street between 3rd and 2nd streets beginning in the 7th inning of all Giants home games until the post-game traffic has died down. Drivers on northbound I-280 should avoid taking the King Street exit during this period and use the 6th Street exit instead. A map showing alternate post-game routes from AT&T parking lots is available on the Giants’ website.
Details about transit service to AT&T Park, including connections from Bay Area transit systems to Muni, can be found at www.sfmta.com. Regional transit information for BART, Caltrain and the ferries as well as traffic is available at www.511.org.

BART won’t be striking on Monday, or for the next two months, so we can all breathe a sigh of relief. Today a San Francisco Superior Court judge ordered a 60-day cooling-off period requested by Gov. Jerry Brown.
More from SFGate:
The order, which will stay in effect until midnight, Oct. 10, blocks any repeat of the 4 1/2-day walkout in early July that snarled traffic and disrupted the commute of hundreds of thousands of workers across the Bay Area.
The cooling off period expires on October 10.
Two 38-Geary buses have caught on fire this week, and we’ve got new photos of the second charred bus. Courtesy of the anonymous blogger at Bus Driver Stories, you can see detail damages on the bus. Scary.
Meanwhile, some details of the bus fires from earlier today.
