and the Rookies of the year are...

Ryan Braun had 128 points. Troy Tulowitzki had 126.

Braun got 17 first place votes, 14 second place votes, and one third place vote.
Tulo got 15 first place votes, and 17 second place votes.

You can't get much close than that. You're blanketly labeling all sports writers as stupid because they were evenly split between two equally deserving candidates.

I tend to somewhat discount the opinions of people who can't form complete sentences...

that's what I said. Tulo may have been a much better fielder and almost as good as hitter as Braun but he only lost by two points. It wasn't like the AL ROY who won the majority. this is why they don't reveal the results of the Acadamy awards or Emmys because people who lost would be mad they lost by two points or something.
