Ruined Sink Baffle

My sink baffle was looking pretty bad. She who must be obeyed told me to fix it so it did not look so ugly. I picked up a replacement part and tried to get the old baffle out. I made a mess of it. The old one now looks like a mouthful of broken teeth. She is NOT happy.
Then I came to your site and learned the baffle will not work on my Badger.
What can I do at this point? If I remove the Badger is there some baffle I can install? Please don't tell me I have to buy a new disposal.
If things get bad, can you put me up for a few days?
