ORLANDO, Fla. Nike Air Max 90 Black Friday . -- County commissioners on Tuesday approved $20 million in tourism taxes to be used toward the funding of an $84 million downtown Orlando Major League Soccer stadium, clearing the last hurdle for the city to be the home of the leagues next expansion franchise. MLS president Mark Abbott said in a statement after the vote that the league looks forward to working with the Orlando ownership group to finalize the agreement to bring a franchise to the central Florida city. The commissions vote was 5-2 Tuesday night. It came after a six-hour meeting that included comments from more than 100 members of the community speaking mostly in support. Earlier this month, city officials voted unanimously on the same funding plan to help the minor league USL Pro League Orlando City Soccer Club build the 18,000-seat, soccer-specific stadium. The team will contribute the rest of the funding for construction. Following the vote, dozens of purple-clad Orlando City fans in the standing-room only commission chamber erupted in applause and began chanting "We are going MLS! We are going MLS!" Orlando City has been lobbying to become a MLS expansion team for more than three years, but currently plays in the outdated Florida Citrus Bowl. Now that the city and county have approved, Orlando City Soccer owner Phil Rawlins said that an official agreement with MLS could be completed within weeks. Once thats in place, construction would be next with an opening date of 2015 planned. When Rawlins brought the minor team to Orlando in 2010, he predicted it could move up to the MLS within five years. He said his prognostication was less about wishful thinking and more about belief in Orlando as a market. "I felt very strongly at the time that was achievable," Rawlins said. "I think Orlando is a great marketplace for MLS. Its proven that with the support it has in the minor leagues. I know the city is very anxious for a second major sports team and MLS is excited about expansion in the southeast...So I felt confident we could make that happen in that time frame." Among those joining fans and business owners to speak on behalf of MLS coming to Orlando were Orlando Magic co-founders Pat Williams and Jimmy Hewitt. Williams lauded the foresight city officials had when they first brought the idea of NBA expansion to Orlando 25 years ago. "Once again this community is faced with that vision thing once again," Williams told commissioners. Rawlins said once the final paperwork is complete with the league, they hope to make an announcement in about a month. "I think anytime youre building toward a vision and achieving your dreams its always exciting," Rawlins said. Kate Spade Totes .

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Lyle Overbay made the biggest in a series of big plays Saturday that showed why the New York Yankees are on top in the AL East. Overbay homered with two outs in the 11th inning, and the Yankees rallied late to beat the Tampa Bay Rays 4-3 on Saturday.

"Exciting to do that."

"Ive got to take advantage of every opportunity," Nova said. Mariano Rivera pitched a perfect 11th inning for his 18th straight save to start the season. The right-hander tied Dennis Eckersley for fourth place for games pitched with 1,071. He had been tied with Hoyt Wilhelm, who coached Rivera in the minors. "I think thats why we appreciate him so much because of his consistency year in and year out," Girardi said. The Yankees scored twice in the ninth against struggling Tampa Bay closer Fernando Rodney to pull even at 3. With two outs, Overbay walked, went to second on a balk, and scored on Brennan Boeschs pinch-hit RBI double. Brett Gardner then added a run-scoring single. Gardner was caught attempting to steal second with Robinson Cano batting. "When we tied it, youve got to feel good about your chances," Gardner said. "The momentum is on our side, but were still playing on the road and theyve got the last shot at it. Another outstanding pitching performance today, and we were able to steal one." Rodney is just 9 for 14 in save chances this year after converting 48 of 50 opportunities last season. "This has been really awkward to watch," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "Hes been within one pitch of almost being perfectt this season. michael kors cyber monday sale. Three of the blown saves have come down to the last pitch. Ive not lost any patience with it. As long as he doesnt lose confidence in himself, I will not lose confidence in him." Tampa Bay appeared poised to win it in the bottom of the ninth, but Ichiro Suzuki made a sliding catch in right field on Yunel Escobars liner with a runner on second. "Amazing," Girardi said. "I heard some people in the stands, say There it is. They thought the game was over. Theres so many big things that happened in this game to give us an opportunity to win that game." Rays starter Matt Moore, looking to start the season 9-0, got a no-decision despite allowing one run and five hits in six innings. In his other start against New York this season, the left-hander gave up one run and two hits over eight innings on April 22 in a 5-1 victory. Yankees rookie Vidal Nuno allowed two runs and five hits over six-plus innings. The left-hander, making his second start and fourth appearance, has given up three runs in 14 innings overall. Loney singled off Nuno to start the seventh and went to third when Joyce had a pinch-hit double against Shawn Kelley. Kelly Johnson then put Tampa Bay up 2-1 on a single off Boone Logan. The Rays advantage grew to 3-1 when Joyce slid home safely under catcher Austin Romines tag attempt after Escobar hit a grounder to shortstop Jayson Nix. Johnson has driven in 18 runs over his 20 games this month. The Yankees took a 1-0 lead in the first when Gardner had a leadoff double and scored on a two-out single by Travis Hafner.
