How the Major League Baseball Schedule is Created

How the Major Lerague Baseball Schedule is Created. Or rather, how hard it is to do, without actually talking about how it's done. I can envison feeding all the parameters and rules into some sort of expert system, and then letting it crank away for a while generating possible schedules. Each possibility would get a score, allowing you to rank the schedules. If you find something that needs to be tweaked, that's a new rule to feed the system.

Sounds like a job for Prolog. Or LOGLISP, if that still is used anywhere.
