The Orioles' 11th-inning 5-2 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays during the American League Wild Card game Oct. 4 was a bitter pill to swallow throughout Birdland.
It seems that in the text and Twitter world we live in, Birdland is really less of a geographic point and more of a place where Orioles fans from all over can come together.
Judy Kramer in New Mexico, Josh Charles in New York, Barry Blank in Arizona and Michael Janofsky in California were just a few of the people who reached out to me as the Orioles' 2016 season was coming to an end.
