MLS opened its voting for the MLS All-Star game to us media hacks, so instead of wasting my ballot with my own picks, I figured I'd put it to good use and allow the readers here to help me fill out my ballot.
Let me know who you think is most deserving. I've got to fill out a 3-5-2 formation, so space is limited.
State your case on a player or just drop a name or three or 11. We've got until July 2 so there's time.

Hold off on filling in the forward slot. If Emilio stays hot through June, I'd give him some serious consideration. Yeah, he had a poor start to the season, but if he's riding a six-week hot streak into the 4th of July weekend, it'll be hard to keep him off the squad.
If I had to vote right now, I'd put Donovan and Cooper ahead of Emilio.
Dichio also warrants some consideration, and since the game is at BMO, I'd expect to see him as a commissioner's pick if he doesn't make the squad some other way.
GK: Reis
D: Frankie Hejduk, Sean Franklin, Jimmy Conrad
M: David Beckham, Cuauhtemoc Blanco, Marcello Gallardo, Clyde Simms, Pablo Richetti
F: Landon Donovan, Kenny Cooper
i know people are going to notice the 3 DP's on my list and that Gallardo hasn't had a spectacular season but watching him for DC he does create chances for them and knows how the put the ball away like the other 2 DP's.
Edson Buddle should be in consideration for the foward spots

I put two RSL players on there. What am I thinking.
