Some calls can be simply perfect

VIN SCULLY, last week, after a line drive nearly nailed Dodger first base coach Davey Lopes, said he was distressed to see that Lopes’ helmet did not include earflaps.

An overhead shot then showed Lopes jumping out of the way. Scully didn’t hesitate: “Well, I suppose if something fell from the sky, Lopes would be protected.”

Mets’ radio voice Howie Rose, after mentioning that Sandy Koufax pitched a perfect game, added “and Vin Scully called a perfect game.”

YES’s Michael Kay, Friday, dropped his “See ya” to make a tight, telltale call of a Jays’ home run in the first to make it 50: “A tworun homer for Justin Smoak, and a nightmare for Luis Severino.” Perfect!

NBC’s boxing, Saturday, include a mystery transmission of what sounded like one half of a phone conversation: “Yeah, right. Knowing Lou, he’s probably taping it to sell abroad. Yeah? ... Oh, he’s great. Yeah he was running HBO sports. ... Yeah.” Likely reference to promoter Lou Di Bella, former head of HBO boxing.

Francesa Tout of the Day: CBS pregame panelist Tony Gonzalez Sunday on the Colts: “I’m telling you, this offense is going to be unstoppable. You might as well give that MVP trophy to Andrew Luck right now.”

Down 240 at the half in Buffalo on Sunday, the Colts lost 2714.
