Mookie Betts and David Price have been traded to Dodgers

[mvp 78]

Don't you get it. We can't be signing anybody over the age of 30 to anything other than a one year contract. It is all downhill after 30!

 

I'm lucky my wife didn't know that rule on our wedding day.

Yeah sure, but you know, hindsight is 20/20. No one at the time of the trade could have predicted Mookie would be any good.

 

He should have been extended much earlier…

But she has learned it since…

You mean 30/30. We knew once Mookie turned 30 years of age, his vertical leap would be less than 30 inches. Before you know it, he'll need a ladder to pick apples.

She knew what she was getting into!

You can't fix short; in players or in spouses.

She knew what she was getting into!

 

 

So she’s a glutton for punishment with low standards!

 

 

She have a sister?

I get that you're trying to make a joke, but Mookie wasn't even 28 when he was traded. Make it make sense at least.

 

Not even close to trying to make a joke. I know right - 28. Can't keep them too long. What possible sense would it have made to have signed him to a long term contract?

My 32 (at the time) year old brother married a 21 year old who asked me about my brother's age - "He is 25 isn't he?" Oh yes of course was my reply!

Very weak. Referring to the impression, not the joke.

 

I like twist ending punchlines after a proper setup, with my standar Comedy Rule of Three…

I would have been more honest. “He’s actually 32, but if it helps, he’s very immature.”

No, only child syndrome. That's how I was able to convince her.

Wow. That marriage doesn't pass the half the age plus 7 test. Yikes!

Wow. That marriage doesn't pass the half the age plus 7 test. Yikes!

 

It did if it lasted 4 years…

Which he is for sure but yesterday he turned 81.

[cp176]

Wow. That marriage doesn't pass the half the age plus 7 test. Yikes!

 

Still crazy (married) after all these years.
