Mike Aviles-Jason Kipnis Twitter spat starts with NBA tickets, ends with burritos
Twitter has helped bring the world together, but as anyone who follows Kanye West knows, it can also cause some drama (#ALLDISRESPECTTOJIMMYKIMMEL). Take, for instance, this seemingly innocuous tweet from Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis:
Let's try this again... Heading to see the Clip Show pretend they're me in my driveway on an 8ft hoop! #thosekidders

I said "seemingly innocuous" because of what happened when teammate Mike Aviles read the tweet:
@TheJK_Kid appreciate the invite!! #thoughtwewerefriends
- Mike Aviles (@Themikeaviles) March 5, 2014
Gasp. Could this snub cause a rift in the Indians clubhouse?
@Themikeaviles @TheJK_Kid yeah totes kip...#thoughtwewerefriends

Now catcher Jake Lowery is involved too?
@jlowery3 @Themikeaviles Well we actually did have an extra ticket but decided the empty seat would be better company than either of you...

Oh no -- clearly this story ends with trade demands:
@TheJK_Kid @jlowery3 u definitely needed that extra seat!! #oursecondbasemanswallowedursecondbaseman

@TheJK_Kid @jlowery3 sorry kip!! I was saying u needed the extra space b/c ur jacked!! #bemyfriendagain

Man, I dunno if that'll patch up that wound, Mike -- unless you include food, of course:
@Themikeaviles I'll consider it... Just know your words hurt!! ....... Now buy me chipotle tomorrow! #imhungry
- Jason Kipnis (@TheJK_Kid) March 5, 2014
And, as always, burritos make everything okay:
@TheJK_Kid done and done!!! #burritosforbros
