Not trying to rub it in, but I read in the AJC, one of the columnists said Monday was bad, but a similar day in 2005 was worse. Here it is:

Thus did Oct. 7 and the early moments of Oct. 8 in the year 2013 stand alongside the dark doings of Oct. 9, 2005, in the annals of Atlanta sporting infamy. That day the Falcons had rallied from a 28-13 fourth-quarter deficit behind No. 2 quarterback Matt Schaub -- starting because Michael Vick was injured -- to tie New England at 28 in the Georgia Dome, whereupon Tom Brady drove the Patriots within sight of Adam Vinatieri's winning field goal with 17 seconds remaining.
Then the Braves would squander a 6-1 lead as closer Kyle Farnsworth, who WAS summoned in the eighth inning, yielded a grand slam to Lance Berkman and then, in the ninth, a tying homer to Brad Ausmus. The end would come much, much later, when Chris Burke homered off Joey Devine with one out in the 18th. The winning pitcher? Roger Clemens, who entered in the 16th.
