Kansas City isn’t the most exciting team to watch, and several of us were woefully unprepared for a final exam set in two days.A few hours into the night, as refrains of Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline” coursed through the red-clad crowd in the eighth inning, I glanced up and noticed a zero on the scoreboard.
