Matt Cain and the San Francisco Giants are considering whether or not he should undergo surgery to clean up bone chips and other debris in his right elbow.

Tommy John surgery is not on the table http://www.borussiadortmundfcstore.com/Authentic-Dzenis-Burnic-Jersey/ , according to a report.

Mejia Diagnosed With Hyperactive Thyroid - RealGM Wiretap

Jenrry Mejia has been cleared to resume baseball activities after being diagnosed with a hyperactive thyroid gland.

The pitching prospect returned to camp with the Mets on Friday.

He has been advised by doctors not to eat seafood, which is rich in lodine, but he does not have to take medication.

"Everything is doing great. Everything is going well," Mejia said. "They said everything is looking great and I can do every activity, but don't eat fish. It's like Jose Reyes.

"They said (the thyroid) is too quick http://www.borussiadortmundfcstore.com/Authentic-Christian-Pulisic-Jersey/ , but it's normal right now. They don't want me to make it faster."

Reyes was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism during spring training in 2010 and missed the first five games of the regular season.

Royals Acquire Willingham From Twins - RealGM Wiretap

The Kansas City Royals have acquired Josh Willingham from the Minnesota Twins in exchange for minor league pitcher Jason Adam.

Kansas City is looking to bolster their offense for a playoff push. The Royals have not been to the postseason since 1985.

"Obviously the goal was to win with the Twins," Willingham said. "Unfortunately, we weren't. Now I have a chance to go help another club and hopefully make the playoffs."

Willingham is expected to arrive in Kansas City in time for Tuesday night's game.

The Royals have agreed to take on the remainder of Willingham's contract -- about $1.8 million of the $7 million that he was making in the final year of his three-year deal.

锘? What does it mean to Give to Get? It is a philosophy and way of life that centers around selfless actions on behalf of others. The benefits are not known, yet returned to the giver. The first step in giving to get is the hardest because you have no idea what you are going to get. Is it worth it? What if I dont get what I want? What if I dont get anything at all?

There is no balance of trade with giving to get. There is no arbiter of value who ensures that what was gotten measures up to what was given. No one is due to get because they have given. It just happens and it happens in ways that the giver could not have expected. But, many people never start for fear of the unknown or because their personal philosophy has become simply about struggling to hold onto what they have.

The point is to give without knowing what, if anything http://www.borussiadortmundfcstore.com/Authentic-Andre-Schurrle-Jersey/ , you will get in return. Humans are wired to give. We are wired to help one another. Unfortunately through life we begin to place a value on what we give and if disappointed with the return, we feel weve been cheated, that we have been foolish. And we stop giving.

Giving to Get is a simple concept, but sometimes because of its simplicity, it is misunderstood. Giving to Get is not about giving with the expectation of a specific return, or any return at all http://www.borussiadortmundfcstore.com/Authentic-Adrian-Ramos-Jersey/ , for that matter. If the expectation of return does not match the givers perceived generosity, there is disappointment.

Donating one million dollars to a university to have ones name placed on a building, is an act of generosity (and should be applauded and recognized), but it is not Giving to Get. It is simply a business deal. Handing five dollars to a homeless man while traveling in a town far from home is Giving to Get. Giving without an expectation of return or without any outside pressure or recognition (other than a thank you) is the basis of giving to get.

Giving to Get is also not about money. In the vast majority of cases, Giving to Get is not even related to money. Money can be a substitute for effort. For some, money is just an efficient means to make a difference. But for others it is about something far more valuable than money. It is about a transaction in humanity.

We each have a bank account that is never ending. That bank account is filled with kind words http://www.borussiadortmundfcstore.com/ , smiles, pats on the back and other forms of encouragement. Our bank accounts can never be exhausted, but we should try. Rather than giving money one can give time, interest, encouragement, applause http://www.borussiadortmundfcstore.com/Authentic-Sven-Bender-Jersey/ , a handshake, a hug, praise or deserved thanks. You can also offer an open door, space under an umbrella or a helping hand. You dont need money to Give to Get. You give because it increases your connection with humanity. You Give to Get because youre human.

What do you get? Well, it is a little like Forrest Gumps mother said Lifes a box of chocolates, Forrest. You never know what youre gonna get.

Here are two stories about Giving to Get. One is mine; the other is the experience of a close friend.

One fall afternoon I was driving home with two tickets to that evenings local http://www.borussiadortmundfcstore.com/Authentic-Sokratis-Papastathopoulos-Jersey/ , sold out college football game. It was the last game of the season. As passed by an orphanage, I decided out of nowhere that I was going to give the tickets away. It was about ninety minutes to kickoff, but I thought, what the heck, maybe they can use them. I pulled into the driveway and walked to the door. A kind elderly lady opened the door and I informed her that I had two tickets for that nights game if they could use them. She turned and shouted Johnnie. A bright faces boy of about 12 or 13 came running to the entryway. The woman said, Johnnie http://www.borussiadortmundfcstore.com/Authentic-Shinji-Kagawa-Jersey/ , this man has two tickets to the game tonight. I guess you get to go after all. Johnnie suddenly started dancing around and shouting. He was out of his mind with joy. The woman turned to me and said we can o.
