		Only one team can lead the rest of us to whiff-tastic nirvana--barring an unsightly tie--and this year, that team was managed by Jim Dinning, who came out on top of a close race with 608 ESPN.
		As with last year's winner, Dinning can point to a single pivotal performance for this year's drive for failure; unlike last year, that performance came for a rival team.
		Dinning's strategy on offense was to build around "sure-fire first-ballot HACKING MASS Hall of Famers"--no risky reaches, and no regrets (save not picking Neifi Perez over Izturis at short, which he says he's sure to do in 2005).
