Finally, the back-breaking injury for the Goldpanners. Young ace Sawao Kawano had just had his contract extended for two years, raising hopes in this victory-starved town. But on May 28 he tore a rotator cuff muscle and will be out for the rest of the season. Even worse, the scouts are saying he will likely never be the same pitcher again, because surgery isn't an option, so he'll have to rely on the body's natural healing process, which will likely reduce his velocity when he does come back. From a future superstar to a mediocrity... a sad story.

The Panners are cursed I feel like I'm a bad luck omen!
Well, at least another high draft choice is in Fairbanks' future. And the two All Stars was a nice surprise.
