Applescripting out that VIM error

I have a frequent problem where my VIM window is too large for my macbook screen but it fits on my external monitor, so when I unplug the external the VIM file bar gets stuck behind the Mac OS menu bar. It's a huge pain to fix this normally, but I wrote/stole an applescript to fix the problem:

try
tell application "Vim"
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Vim"
set size of the first window to {1000, 200}
set position of the first window to {50, 50}
end tell
end tell
end try
