It's a complicated scientific calculation. I'd explain all the math that goes into it, but you wouldn't understand. The layman's term I use to describe this miracle of mathematics is: "The Commish Makes A Gut Call". Again, very complicated, way-over-your-head stuff.

Woah, yeah, I'll leave it to the higher minds to handle.

Joking aside, the ol' gut call was actually tiebreaker #2. Tiebreaker #1 was the AI's opinion. However, the AI picked different players for both of the tied awards. I recorded all the AI's picks for posterity. For the record, I think we did a much better job of deciding who was deserving.

Well hey, since I know Tyler's trying to kill time while the LGT game thread for today's rain-delayed KC-CLE match-up remains stalled, why don't I go ahead post up the AI's opinions on who deserved to win the '08 season awards? Names highlighted in red indicate players that both the owners and the AI voted as winners.

And I hereby accuse John of lurking!

But, yeah, I was counting on six hours of baseball today and I'm gonna be cranky if I don't get them.
