Jimmy Conrad knew all along that his four days spent in Toronto for the MLS All-Star Game would be a good time. All the meet-and-greets with sponsors, appearances, parties … Conrad had experienced them all each of the past four seasons, when he also was named to the MLS squad.
CHICAGO: Jon Busch, Bakary Soumare, Logan Pause, Diego Gutierrez, Tomasz Frankowski (Patrick Nyarko 63rd), Cuauhtemoc Blanco, John Thorrington, Chris Rolfe (Stephen King 77th), Justin Mapp, Wilman Conde, Gonzalo Segares (Daniel Woolard 89th).
Aaron Hohlbein always knew he’d get another chance. Even when gimpy hamstrings ripped him from the starting lineup and short-circuited a promising start to his Major League Soccer rookie season, Hohlbein knew he needed to be patient.
