06.07.07 REALLY? FOR BRAVES TICKETS?
Elizabeth King and Charles Center, a couple who divorced in 2002, are in embroiled in a nasty custody battle… for Atlanta Braves tickets. The couple had originally agreed to split the four tickets to 27 regular season games (he got 14, she 13) — one-third of a season package they shared with two other people. But when one of the other partners died, King's partnership rose from 13 games to 27 games, complicating matters.
In a court hearing Tuesday — during which the couple hardly looked at each other — King testified that Center had gone out of his way this year to give her tickets to games that conflicted with her schedule. And she claimed 80 percent of the tickets he gave her were for day games, implying he'd done it because he knew she had skin cancer…
Man, sometimes the romantic spark just never dies out. But that's not so bad. You should've seen the gift shark he sent her for Christmas last year. It was packed in barbed wire, anthrax, and Uranium-235.
As This Suit Is Not Black adroitly points out, the good news is that after only $13,000 in lawyers fees, the judge got sick of the case and told them to settle out of court. Which should happen, no problem. You know, assuming these two lovebirds don't reconcile. I haven't seen this kind of natural sexual chemistry since Gigli.

Jason Kidd thinks Charles should toss her a bone. A cookie bone.
You saw Gigli?
That was some teriffic sexual chemistry between Ben Affleck and Christopher Walken, wasn't it?
4 out of 5 Russian dissidents agree: polonium delivers a better lethal dose of radiation than uranium
Is Charles Center gonna have to skin cancer a bitch?
There was a special clause in the contract that stated she could have possession of all the tickets as long as she wore a tank-top and slathered herself in baby oil.
What's better than Hotlanta sun for clearing up that ugly skin cancer?
Is it that hard to get Braves tickets? Must be some choice seats! You certainly don't hear about this nonsense with Rockies tickets.
Charles Center left a voice mail for the tickets and called them rude thoughtless little pigs.
I thought he gave her a tupperware container full of Davenport for x-mas?
As a former resident of the ATL, I can attest to the insanity with which locals hang onto Braves tickets. I guess they all want to be there to witness the second coming of Sid Bream.
Sid Bream, Ron Gant, Terry Pendleton, Lonnie Hunter (right?), Jeff Blauser, Dave Justice, Mark Lemke….who am I missing? Man that was a bad ass team.
Charles Center will rip up the tickets, then rip up your face and your family, he ain't even bullshittin' dawg.
Hahaha, he gave her the day tickets cause she has skin cancer…..every man in America should take note
Well, you can make your choice. Go to Braves games during the day and risk getting skin cancer. Or…
Go to all the games at night and get risked of getting mugged.
Tough decision, but that's Atlanta.
Nice work, Hawkeye. You forgot Greg Olsen, Rafael Belliard and, my main man, Otis "Otis!" Nixon.
Michaal Strahan just hired Mr. Center as his legal representation.
Last I checked, Uranium-238 was the isotope used in nuclear reactions and bombs. I could be wrong, but I'm just a caveman you see, and I'm confused by your strange world.
furnitureless & free > furnished & castrated
Lonnie Smith.
How in the hell could I miss Otis Nixon?! I'm going to have to change my avatar to one of these guys. Hmm….the excitement is killing me.
Ha! Sid Bream in a Pirates uniform. Best looking ball player I've ever fucking seen.
This happens with Brewers tickets all the time, but the out-of-court settlement is decided by the winning sausage from the most recent home game.
Fuck Sid Bream

Francisco Cabrera and Sid Bream… responsible for the most magical sport viewing moment of my life. Sid Bream is a god amongst men
