That's a complete myth...People love to say that we play well when it doesn't matter, but the facts prove them wrong.
Since 1995, we have had 2 winning Septembers. We have not won more than 13 games in the month of September since the 2000 season.
These are the Royals September records going back to the 1995 season. Number in parenthesis is games played in October, which I've included in the "September" records
1995: 12-18 (1)
1996:
13-11
1997: 12-16
1998: 8-16
1999: 13-16 (2)
2000:
15-14 (1)
2001: 11-16 (6)
2002: 7-19
2003: 13-15
2004: 12-19 (3)
2005: 13-18 (2)
2006: 13-14 (1)
2007: 9-19
Our total September record from 1995-2007 is: 151-211 which gives a winning percentage of .420 If you were to equate this to a 162 game season, our record would be 68-94 If anything, the Royals play pretty below average in the final month of the season.
I took way too much time on this
