four games good playing stay three tons twice
As long as you stay in the winners' bracket, you're in pretty good shape. You get tons of rest. We've been playing three or four games a week. When you get in the playoffs, as long as you stay in the winners' bracket, you're only playing twice a week.
bigger game happen lead lost
This game was even bigger for us because we didn't play real well (Thursday) night. We had a big lead and we lost it, and typically that doesn't happen around here.

It was just a great baseball game. Win or lose, obviously you don't want to lose, but you could understand in a game like this. It's very rare we score one run in a baseball game, and it's very rare that they get shut out.
across couple decrease percent quarters rate
It (the occupancy rate decline) was unusual. It was across the board. We had a 0.2 percent decrease a couple of quarters ago, but (statistically) that was zero. This (the 0.5 percent decline), I think, is statistically significant.

The market is probably steadily, boringly, going to continue the way that it is.

It's not behaving like the rest of the Riverside County area. The rates of increase are lower than what we're seeing in the rest of Southern California.
against coming competing good guys proud surprised
They've got a lot of things going on, and I'm proud of them for coming out and competing against a good Greer team. I wouldn't be surprised if we see those guys (Greer) again on Wednesday.
couple diego san
It's probably not one thing. There are probably a couple of small, different things that are conspiring to make San Diego the underachiever that it is right now.
