All must-wins are created equal, but some are must-winnier (so not a word) than others. When you have two games against Zack Greinke and four games against the team you're chasing on tap, letting a game like this slip away is unacceptable.
Your starting pitchers:
As pleasant as the resurrection of Carl Pavano's career has been to witness, he has had issues with the Royals this year: 2-3 with a 6.75 ERA. He'll need to do better than that.
Tejada has done quite well for the Royals since being moved out of the bullpen, to the tune of two runs and nine hits in 22.1 innings pitched. Not a pushover by any means.
Your lineups, now with added Denard Span, courtesy Joe C.:
TWINS (79-73)
1. Denard Span, CF
2. Orlando Cabrera, SS
3. Joe Mauer, C
4. Jason Kubel, RF
5. Michael Cuddyer, 1B
6. Delmon Young, LF
7. Jose Morales, DH
8. Matt Tolbert, 3B
9. Nick Punto, 2B
ROYALS (63-90)
1. Willie Bloomquist, LF
2. Mitch Maier, CF
3. Billy Butler, 1B
4. Mike Jacobs, DH
5. Alberto Callaspo, 2B
6. Mark Teahen, RF
7. John Buck, C
8. Alex Gordon, 3B
9. Yuniesky Betancourt, SS
A tricky game that the Twins have no business losing. If you're not nervous, you should be. Enjoy the game, everybody.
UPDATE: per Joe Christensen's Twitter, Gardy has officially named promising young lefthander Francisco Liriano as Sunday's starter.

Bold prediction
we win 2-0 with Greinke pitching a complete game and both runs being unearned.
And it makes no difference that Greinke isnt pitching tonight...
he will still go nine strong and lose…
by guinness junky on Sep 25, 2009 6:06 PM EDT up reply actions
that is a very bold prediction
considering Greinke’s not even pitching. Is he just that awesome?

"But seriously, the banana guy is just sitting there now quietly taking in the game. You can’t do that. You’re either the banana guy or you’re the businessman." -Daniel Louden
Grienke and Tejada
Grienke first: He was untouchable for his first 5-10 starts, good but not great, in the middle and has been dominant his last five or so turns. Yes, he has great stuff and I’m sure he’s brimming with confidence, but no one is unhittable over the course of a long season.
Tejada: He is on a good run. The Twins have faced him before (out of the bullpen) and the numbers say, “be patient” he has almost five BB per 9 innings.
Probably most important for both starters is to get to them early. With a 5th place team playing behind them, if you get them down, it is tough to play at a high level. A stat note, KC’s record in games Grienke started is 15-16.
by Alexi Casilla All-Star on Sep 25, 2009 6:52 PM EDT reply actions
Well, it actually is 16-15
but your point is taken. What’s really amazing about that is that Grienke has given up 0-2 runs in 22 of his 31 starts this year. And they still can’t win.

The Windy City...
So, sadly, I live in in Chicago right now. At this time of year, it’s tough, but get a load of this: I hear on the sports talk show about how ‘any white sox loss will eliminate them from the playoffs’ then the guys go around for about 10 minutes talking about how this squad can still make a playoff push with a little help. I swear I need some good ol’ minnesota humility to loan out to them.
"This ain't a football game, we do this every day." - Earl Weaver
And it isn't true, at least if they were saying that today
The Sox are out. They can only get to 82 wins,and the minimum number for one of the Tigers or Twins is 83.
by Eric in Madison on Sep 25, 2009 7:43 PM EDT up reply actions
pssh, that's just "metrodome math"
In any other field those numbers would have added up differently and the Sox would still have a chance! Artificial turf! Bright lights! Air conditioning!

Or...
I think we need to check with Bert and see what the California math would say, that’s what I consider definitive.

I don’t think the Twins or Tigers are going to lose every game here on out (impossible since we play each other anyway). Oh, south side…just accept it. Your season is done. Finito. Over.
…and I’m thrilled. :D
"But seriously, the banana guy is just sitting there now quietly taking in the game. You can’t do that. You’re either the banana guy or you’re the businessman." -Daniel Louden
Well
They claimed that if we won 3 against the tigers and then lost all of our other games and the tigers lost all but one they’d be tied…who knows. It’s a crazy city.

The season is over. :)

"Setting themselves on fire"
