  • Waiter Confidential: You're Now Free to Roam About the Classifieds

    When it comes to playing hooky from work, you'd better be on your game - particularly if you work in a busy restaurant. Where my own exploits are concerned, experience has proven the best teacher. Susceptible to bouts of Cactus League-triggered spring fever, I've called in sick one day and returned to work sunburned the next. Not smart. But that pales in comparison to the time I conspired to fictitiously kill-off my Aunt Martha for want of an impromptu weekend in San Diego.

  • Goodyear Ballpark: A Look Inside the Valley's Newest Spring Training Field

    Goodyear Ballpark: the Cactus League's new western-most outpost. We admit we don't get out to Goodyear much. But, with a new Spring Training stadium opening in the western West Valley city Wednesday, we made the drive ("Just 20 minutes from downtown Phoenix!"

Ohio's other team, the Cincinnati Reds, will share the stadium with the Tribe starting nex

  • Asia de Cuba Hosts Spring Training BBQ

    Spring Training is the occasion, but even if you're not headed to a Cactus League game, hit up the after-party at Asia de Cuba, where there will be a shindig out on the patio with live music, drink specials ($3 domestic bottles, $4 sangria, $5 mojitos and margaritas), and selections from the lunch menu. The three-night event runs from 6 p.m. to close this Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. (Yes, you're out of luck on Saturday.)
