ANAHEIM, Calif. Authentic Everson Griffen Jersey . - Andrew Heaney envisions a long, prosperous future with the Los Angeles Angels. Even if he has already peaked as a tweeter.The promising left-hander had a hilarious response to getting traded twice in about five hours at the winter meetings earlier this week, going from the Miami Marlins to the Dodgers to the Angels. Heaney never even got a phone call from the Dodgers before getting flipped again.Well, @Dodgers we had a good run! Great to be part of such a storied franchise, he tweeted, adding thanksforthememories as a hashtag.The Angels have big plans for Heaney, and hes more comfortable with enormous expectations on the mound than on Twitter.Now everybody expects me to be this really funny guy, and Im like, I dont know, I dont think Im that funny, Heaney said Friday in a phone interview. All of those new followers that I picked up are probably going to be disappointed.Once his future was settled in Orange County, the 23-year-old Heaney grew excited about the prospect of playing for the majors best regular-season team last season alongside Mike Trout, Albert Pujols and right-hander Garrett Richards — a fellow native Oklahoman who cashed in on his own huge potential last year.The Angels traded second baseman Howie Kendrick to get Heaney, giving up a major veteran contributor from their lineup for a skinny left-hander who still doesnt have his first major league victory.To Heaney, thats a welcome vote of confidence after the Marlins gave him up in a seven-player deal to land Dee Gordon from the Dodgers.Personally I dont see what anybody could be negative about or be worried about, Heaney said. Im excited. I feel like any time you get traded, the team thats getting you sees something. Especially for a guy like Howie Kendrick thats been here 12 years, they value what you can bring to the team.While Kendrick has just one year left on his contract, Heaney is under the Angels control for the next six seasons.Heaney is hoping to live up to his potential after his major league career got off to a sputtering start. The Marlins top pitching prospect went 0-3 with a 5.83 ERA in his debut last season despite doing solid work at times in five starts and seven total appearances.I unfortunately learned a lot more of what not to do than to do, Heaney said, citing lessons about holding runners on base and keeping his pitches down to major-league hitters.I didnt feel like I was at my best at the time, but Im a little bit glad, he added. I think being a little bit humbled or having disappointments can be good for you.Just a few months after the Angels had almost no organizational depth in starting pitchers, general manager Jerry Dipoto has addressed the problem impressively.The rotation still features Jered Weaver, Richards, C.J. Wilson and Matt Shoemaker, and the Angels now have an array of interesting options to fill it out. Los Angeles acquired touted right-hander Nick Tropeano from Houston earlier in the off-season, while left-hander Hector Santiago will get another chance to keep a rotation spot after an inconsistent 2014. Los Angeles also still has left-hander Tyler Skaggs, who will miss 2015 after elbow ligament replacement surgery.The club will have an intense competition in spring training for the fifth spot in its rotation — or possibly the final two spots, since manager Mike Scioscia no longer expects Richards to be back from knee surgery by opening day.After one tumultuous day, Heaney looks forward to steady growth into a major-league role, hopefully starting this spring.I hope to get in there with a guy like Richards and then Weaver and really be able to pick their brains, Heaney said. Any advantage I can get moving forward to be a more productive pitcher in the big leagues is exciting for me. Im excited to learn more about what they do. Authentic Daniel Carlson Jersey .

While Chelsea stayed two points behind leader Arsenal courtesy of Etoos hat trick, seventh-place United slipped 14 points from the summit this weekend.

LOS ANGELES -- Portlands enormous fourth-quarter lead dwindled to a single point before the Trail Blazers finally figured out how hold off the Los Angeles Lakers patchwork lineup. Wesley Matthews thinks the harrowing experience will be good for the Blazers as they try to cement their spot among the NBAs elite. LaMarcus Aldridge had 27 points and nine rebounds, and Portland blew most of a 20-point lead before holding on to beat the Lakers 114-108 Sunday night. Damian Lillard had 26 points and nine assists, and Matthews scored 17 points for the Blazers, whose 11-game winning streak ended four days earlier in Phoenix. The Blazers tied their franchise record with 13 victories in November, and they opened December with an unlikely nail-biter, surviving despite blowing big leads in each half. "We shouldnt have had to do that," Matthews said. "Theres still a learning curve for us, but its a good sign if your lesson is you have to learn how to play with a lead. Its better than having to fight back." The Lakers would agree, even though their rally got Staples Center rocking. Xavier Henry scored a career-high 27 points and Jodie Meeks added 20 for Los Angeles, which had won five of six to climb above .500 despite injury woes. Portland led 94-74 entering the fourth, but promptly failed to score for nearly six minutes as the Lakers mounted a 24-5 run with a lineup featuring no point guard and energetic backup centre Robert Sacre, who had career highs of 12 points and seven rebounds. "We have guys down right now, but we cant do anything about that," said Henry, who surpassed his previous career high set earlier this season. "The guys we do have can still give any team a run for its money." Portland returned from its holiday break with its first road victory over the Lakers in seven tries since April 11, 2010, but only after a little drama. The Blazers blew a 17-point lead in the first half, but thought they had taken control with a 41-point third quarter -- their biggest period of the season. Los Angeles cut Portlands lead to 99-98 on Shawne Williams tip-in with 3:44 to play, but Lillard hit a 3-pointer with 2:54 left, and Matthews added another with 1:20 to play. Los Angeles kept it close, but the Blazers hit five of their six free throws in the final 23 seconds. "We need to stay consistent," Lillard said. "When things are going well, we teend to ease up instead of tightening up and putting teams away. Authentic Harrison Smith Jersey. Once teams get fired up and get back in the game, our intensity rises again. We have to find a way to keep it at that high level." The Lakers were left with only nine or 10 healthy players -- and one point guard -- when Jordan Farmar limped to the locker room in the first quarter, straining his left hamstring shortly after checking in to the game. Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash still havent returned to uniform, and centre Chris Kaman -- who recently recovered from a back injury -- dressed but didnt play. Pau Gasol, who missed Saturdays practice to deal with nagging injury issues, missed nine of his 10 shots in the first half before finishing with six points on 3-of-15 shooting. He plans to have an MRI on his sore ankle Monday. But the Lakers league-leading bench had another big game led by Henry, Sacre and Nick Young, who scored 17 points. "Thats what this team is all about -- you never know whos going to come out and produce," Sacre said. "Thats the whole essence of this team. Were all about one another, and we want each other to succeed." The Lakers hoped to play aggressively with the next four days off to rest, but instead got off to a horrific start. Portland took an 11-0 lead in the first four minutes as Los Angeles missed its first eight shots, stretching the margin to 21-4 before many fans had settled in their seats. Lakers coach Mike DAntoni yanked four of his starters, and they gradually got back in it with a tying 19-6 run capped by Meeks 3-pointer midway through the second quarter. Lillard scored 11 points in the third quarter as Portland made 17 of its 24 shots while taking command. Los Angeles then scored 10 straight points to open the fourth, and the Blazers didnt get a field goal until 5:31 remained. NOTES: Lillard converted a four-point play early in the second quarter, and Henry also did it midway through the fourth quarter. ... DAntoni said Nash will be at practice on Tuesday after a trip to Vancouver for further rehab on his nerve root irritation. Theres no timetable for the return of the two-time MVP point guard -- or Bryant, who also will be in practice this week. DAntoni declined to speculate whether Bryant could make his season debut when the Lakers visit Sacramento on Friday. ... Williams and Johnson both fouled out in the fourth quarter for Los Angeles.
