Well, it won’t stop me from playing, but “my way or the highway,” if you’ll excuse me, isn’t the way to lead an activity that’s supposed to be _fun._ Besides, in the immortal words of Crash Davis: > [@](#): > > **Crash Davis** : Time out.

Just because **Baker** agreed to step aside next year because you wanted to run the Death Pool, doesn’t mean you get to run the Death Pool.
