LOS ANGELES -- Inspired by his teams play and buoyed by his own optimism, Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw is determined to come back this season and be a difference maker.Im trying to make it back to have an impact on this season for our team, Kershaw said in the Dodgers dugout before Tuesdays interleague game against the Tampa Bay Rays. I dont know what that means exactly.Kershaw, a three-time Cy Young Award winner, has not pitched in a month, last appearing June 26 at Pittsburgh. He has been out of action with what was first diagnosed as a mild disk irritation in his lower back, but that was before a setback during a simulated game that has left his return date unknown.Before the injury, nobody was making a bigger impact on the game than Kershaw. He had a 1.79 ERA over his first 16 starts and had 145 strikeouts in 121 innings. Most mind-blowing, though, might have been that he had walked just nine batters.Yet, the Dodgers have not crumbled in Kershaws absence as might have been expected. They are 15-8 without him, rallying behind an improved offense and a stingy bullpen that has one of the best collective ERAs in the game.Its so fun to watch, Kershaw said. Its not easy to watch games on TV, but these guys make me want to be a part of it. Just the way these guys are playing, its a great team, it really is. Its just fun to watch. One of the closest teams that I have been a part of. Its hard to be away, I hate it, but Im really happy theyre doing so well, and hopefully, I can make it back and help out in some way.Kershaws setback occurred after he threw in a simulated game at Dodger Stadium on July 16. The Dodgers were in Arizona at the time just starting play in the second half.I just knew there was something that was not right, he said. I definitely felt it where I shouldnt have felt it.Kershaw spoke about having patience in rehab, knowing that its not something he can just push through and dominate as he has with National League offenses. His month away has lent him a bit of perspective.Its just hard not to pitch; thats what I love to do, he said. You realize how much you love the game when youre away from it and how much you take it for granted. I learned that. Being healthy is something that really is a blessing. Its something that you really cant take for granted. Its hard to be away, but I understand, and Im just trying to be patient.The Dodgers were reluctant to put a timetable on Kershaws comeback when the injury first happened, and they are not anywhere near revealing one now. Kershaw was asked if there are some unknowns to his injury.I dont think its unknown, he said. There is a lot of gray area, is the best way to say it. You just have to go based on your symptoms. I didnt have any pain leading to when I pitched, and I pitched, and now I have to wait until I feel no pain again.Asked whether theres fear he wont make it back this season, Kershaw said, As of today, I did all my core work and knocked it out. Today I made it, and on to tomorrow. Air Max 90 Canada . It was the kind of score that might make everyone else wonder which course he was playing. Except that Graeme McDowell saw the whole thing.

Hes guided Gold Coast to the NRL finals for the first time in six years and now Gold Coast coach Neil Henry is eyeing off an even longer drought in Fridays elimination clash with Brisbane.The Titans head to Suncorp Stadium without a win in their past nine trips up the Pacific Motorway, a winless streak stretching back to their inaugural campaign in 2007.After beating the Broncos 28-16 the first time the teams met at the venue in April 2007, the Titans have failed to beat their so-called big brother ever since in Brisbanes backyard.Their overall record in south-east Queensland derbies isnt much better, with just five wins from 20 clashes including a 40-32 defeat when the teams met in the 2009 finals series.As far as Henry is concerned however, that record means nothing coming into a one-off knockout clash.Those records go out the door dont they when you get into this sort of sudden-death game? Henry said.This is a new ball game.Theyre on the back of a few wins now, had a tremendous performance against Melbourne Storm and a gritty Roosters last game too but they did what they had to do to get a result.
