Last time the Mariners had a home game, I was stuck for more than an hour in traffic trying to get on to I90, which I could have avoided had I left work 20 minutes earlier. 

To help avoid this situation, Joe Goldberg has put up a very handy schedule of Mariners home games that you can import into Outlook.

[In case any Michael Affronti or other Microsoft Outlook program managers are listening:  the process for importing a calendar from the web into Outlook is way too complicated. There is a real possibility of Microsoft losing business as people migrate to web calendars that make this process simpler. Particularly in the area of social online calendars Microsoft seems to be losing out in a big way.

I realize there are security considerations about a more seamless process for importing appointments from the web, but one of the key features of a modern OS ought to be as a layer that securely connects local apps with the internet– put users in control but don’t burden us with unnecessary details.]
