Somebody just offered me Allen Craig & Gavin Floyd for Ian Desmond & Jarrod Parker, I don't even know who these people are

keeper lg trade: I get taveras, Matt Moore, detwiler. He gets Ian Desmond, cingrani, and James McDonald. Should I do it? Tnx

I know I'm not retarded I have a backup shortstop better than Ian Desmond and when Jose comes back I will RAPE

Ian Desmond doesn't think anyone will win 100 games in the NL east. Well Atlantas 1/10 of the way there in April, Jack!

Ian Desmond is a defensive player, told me soo and I have another good shortstop til he comes back

FWIW, Ian Desmond and Gio Gonzalez had similar takes...but definitely gave the Braves tons of credit, too. Danny not so much

Desmond shot gives Nationals win over Reds: Washington's Ian Desmond made up for two costly errors by hi...

would you trade Ian Desmond and Sean Marshall for Asdrubal Cabrera and Brandon Maurer?

And so is my fantasy baseball team! (Got Harper, Strasburg and Ian Desmond)

Ian Desmond appears to be plucking lids in the dugout during post bomb high-fives again.

Everyone's all inlove with Bryce Harper Ian Desmond's where it's at👌

Will do google search shortly to see if Nats' SS Ian Desmond is related to Norma Desmond. Probably not.

Ian Desmond MIGHT be this year. But Jeter would have to decline and Desmond would have to get better.

Forget the home runs Ian Desmond just got walked.

Ian Desmond very soon will be a top 20 player in MLB. Has every tool. Just needs a lil more consistentcy.

Ian Desmond walks, which may actually be more rare than a Harper two homer game.

With the mustache, Ian Desmond looks like Jose Valentin.

Could the Nationals consider a long-term deal for Ian Desmond?

Just hate Ian Desmond twice as much.

Strasburg is pitching lights out dude...But Ian Desmond really did leave the game...

Too bad Ian Desmond doesn't have a beard it's Danny Espinosa ***

IAN DESMOND HAS ONE SIXTEEN BY TRIP LEE AS HIS WALKUP!!! *** YEAH knew i wasnt the only one that loved that song

I love that still has Ian Desmond with that mustache.

Apparently, Ian Desmond is no Adam Dunn. In terms of 2011-2012 OPS increase, anyway.

Ian Desmond is my hubby even though I like the cardinals.

I love Harper, but Ian Desmond is my favorite nat ����

Hopefully Strasburg and Ian Desmond do work today

Tyler Clippard and Roger Bernadina did join the Nats during the 2008 season. Ian Desmond made his debut a year later as a September call-up

Heelo Ian Desmond. It's have been too long. ;)

If I go to the Nats game Wednesday, I might have to get shersey... Thinking either Denard Span or Ian Desmond...

Here's GM Mike Rizzo on where things stand with Chris Young, Ian Desmond extension negotiations and more

When guys like Ian Desmond and Danny Espinosa are batting 6th and 7th you have a pretty solid lineup

Recommendation by :Ian The last thing a fantasy owner...

LAST MINUTE CHANGE: Take out and SUB Desmond could still have a good game but Castro is 6/13 vs. Burnett.

hey it ain't what we think he's worth it's the club..God bless him and Ian Desmond really sittin pretty right now!!

Mike Rizzo deflected question on poss extnsn for Ian Desmond, saying team does not discuss negotiations. Reiterated ID is part of core

Nationals | Not close in talks with Ian Desmond: The Washington Nationals are nowhere close to a contract exte...

Rizzo declines any comment on talks with Ian Desmond, but said he's "part of our core" and the Nats want him around for a long time.

I was told the and SS Ian Desmond are not even close to agreeing to a contract extension. Talks have never been serious.

got Strasburg and Jordan Zimmerman, Ian Desmond as SS, in the SL, gonna need your scouting

I imagine the reported 8-year, $120M extension Elvis Andrus is getting throws a pipe bomb into any talks between Ian Desmond and the Nats.

The Justin Ruggiano tracked an Ian Desmond fly to the CF wall and made a leaping catch into the Yard House ad. Still tied at 2-2.

Henry Ian Cusik, one of the few who can pull off long hair and facial hair. ��

a few things caught us all by surprise in 2012: e.g. Bryce Harper; Ian Desmond's monster year.

I said my team sucked last year & I came in second. My question is how I managed to autodraft Ian Desmond two years in a row.

would you trade Jim Johnson and Ian Desmond for Stephen Strausburg?

All im saying its too much cut it down. Ian Desmond vs Jimmy Rollins?

i could keep Ian Desmond and Brandon Phillips... they are high ranked positionally... but that means they will be my 4th & 5th round picks.

well i definitely have to keep Giancarlo Esposito... I definitely have to keep Matt Kemp... the rest are tough to pick... Ian Desmond?

I am in a 14 team league what do you think of my team. McCann,Encarnacion,Daniel Murphy,Freese,Ian Desmond,Trumbo,Braun,Bruce

Ian Desmond and Anthony Rizzo made enormous leaps in this year's Nos.101-150:

Ian Desmond's mustache really creeps me out...

I was operating under old paradigm where everyone was closer crazy-if I'd gone Ian Desmond, Salvator 5,6 I'd be giddy

Ian Desmond just signed my koozie. Life made.

you think Ian Desmond can repeat last year, cause over 162 they be awesome

I still think lede after Werth's NLDS walk off is one of the best

At 11: Sinead Desmond and Sean Byrne on the papers; Ian Power from spunout.ie on teen threesomes and the Sunday Indo

going in, I targeted Ian Desmond, Salvator Perez, Carlos Gomez, and Espinosa -- didn't get any.

I'd like to acquire Ian Desmond. You have 58 shortstops. Offer forthcoming.

Ian Desmond and Brian Pruett both grew up in Sarasota, are attractive and short stops. coincidence? I think not

posey, craig, DAT DUDE, Rizzer, Aroldo and ian desmond

Keeper draft today! :) Getting Wright at next best are A.Jackson, Freeman, Craig, Ian Desmond. Gotta pick up some bats!

Desmond Harrington or Ian Somerhalder? Who would be your

Ian Desmond for Johan Santana and JJ Hardy. Should I do it?

I don't understand...? But do you like my Ian Desmond bobble head and the picture of 1D? 😉⚾🆔

Drafted Starlin Castro over Ian Desmond. Good or bad move?

Ian Desmond. Easily the sexiest SS in the game. Eeasily.

Ian Desmond walks and goes around to third on a Danny Espinosa double to center. A Kurt Suzuki sac fly to right makes 4-2 in the 8th

The Aggrolites= how modern reggae should be. Keep all that synth away. It couldn't have been Desmond Dekker and the Korg ms-20

Stephen Strasburg with a quick, 1-2-3 6th vs the after Ian Desmond's solo home run gets the Nationals on the board in the 5th

Ian Desmond 1 for 2 today, 15 for 51 with 2 doubles, 2 HRs this Spring after solo HR vs the today. 3-1 Detroit in the 5th.

Ian Desmond with a solo HR to left to start the bottom of the fifth. 3-1 after the Nationals' shortstop's second HR of ST.

Ian Desmond solo HR to lead off the fifth is first run allowed by Smyly. 3-1, Detroit.

Ian Desmond leads off the bottom of the fifth inning with his second home run of the spring. first run of the day. Down 3-1.

I swear I can play a better short stop than ian desmond

Ian Desmond and Danny Espinosa on whether they want to play 162 games, and how their views have changed over time:

I dont like how Ian Desmond wears hit hat.

Held onto RA Dickey & Ian Desmond today in a keeper league I play in w/ a bunch of fantasy lightweights

Any thoughts on this trade offer? I'd give Ian Desmond for his Rollins and Gardner.. Keeper league roto. Thanks!

If any fans love a bit of Desmond (Henry Ian Cusick), you've gotta get to CollectorMania Milton Keynes at 25-27th May

i was wondering your thoughts on this trade offered to me in a keeper league. i give Ian Desmond for Rollins and Gardner. Thanks!

Fantasy baseball question: should I trade Ian Desmond and John Lannan for Tommy Hanson, Zack Cozart, Alexei Ramirez, and Home Bailey?

ima get a torii hunter shirt and a king Felix shirt, and a Ian Desmond and a Giancarlo Stanton shirt

Well, Miller WAS cruising, until he ran into Ian Desmond.

SS Ian Desmond's 1st HR of the Spring off RHP Shelby Miller gives the Nationals a 6-2 lead over the Cardinals in the 5th.

I kinda wanna go all Paleo diet on myself. Ian Desmond and Hunter Pence are doing it. But I like milk.

i want a fathead of Ian Desmond & Kris Letang for my birthday. if i get it, i'll never leave my room and i'll never look at a guy ever again

When someone mentions the Washington Nationals, many people think of the Presidents' Race at Nationals Park! Others may think of players like Stephen Strasburg, Bryce Harper and Ryan Zimmerman. Led by manager Davey Johnson, the 2012 Washington Nationals were an exciting bunch...they led the majors with a 98-64 record (50-31 at home, 48-33 on the road)! They also clinched the first postseason berth for the nation's capital since the 1933 Washington Senators went to the World Series! There was concern about the Nats, especially when Stephen Strasburg was shut down after September 8 due to an innings count...but the team as a whole stepped up! Gio Gonzalez led the Nats with 21 wins while Strasburg added 15! Tyler Clippard had 32 saves to lead the bullpen! Adam LaRoche had 33 HR and 100 RBI to lead the offense...Ian Desmond and Ryan Zimmerman added 25 HR apiece, and Bryce Harper hit 22 in his first full season in the bigs...Harper also brought tremendous defense with him! Once the Nationals clinched the NL Ea ...

Best day yet climbing the Arizona mountains with my valentine!!!

The Washington Nationals are expecting another big year in 2013 out of Ian Desmond.

Want a Superman shirt? No? Well, look here anyway: Ian Desmond shirt wore is there too

Ian Desmond, Nationals in no rush to discuss contract extension - Nationals General Manager Mike Rizzo has...

A coroner has recommended it be compulsory for cyclists to wear high visibility clothing after the death of a senior Wellington police officer who was hit by a truck while riding his

'I saw Henry Ian Cusick... Oh wait, that was you'. nice.

Amanda Comak of the Washington Times asked Rizzo if he'd attempt to pursue an extension with Ian Desmond before...

Ian Desmond and the are mutually open-minded about discussing a contract extension, but in no rush:

Nats GM Mike Rizzo is “open minded� about pursuing an extension with shortstop Ian Desmond. -Nick

Ian Desmond, Bryce Harper, and Mike Trout� they're such good baseball players. I love em�

I love Ian Desmond but signing him to an extension after his career year in 2012 wouldn't be a good idea

Ian Desmond said he too is open to the possibility of a contract extension, but sees no rush. Still has 3 years & no desire to go elsewhere

Ian this Desmond are you and Dylan going to tutoring today?

Ian Desmond open to possibility of an extension, but no urgency. Says he has no intention of leaving, team has no intention of moving him.

Rizzo says he's "open minded" to the idea of a contract extension for Ian Desmond. No such talks yet, however.

Rizzo says he remains "open-minded" about an extension with SS Ian Desmond.

Asked GM Mike Rizzo if he'd attempt to pursue an extension w/ Ian Desmond before season starts. He said he was "open minded to it."

Esther said she was apprehensive about getting together with her boyfriend Ian initially due bad experiences in the past. So, to prove his love for her, Ian put himself on a 3-month probation period.

If Ian Desmond is a top 100 fantasy player this year, I will buy a Lastings Milledge Nationals jersey

After a career yr, Ian Desmond adjusted his training regimen this winter, but his baseball mentality remains the same

I saw a cute baby about one n half yr old, in his mum's arms at the MRT platform just now. He touched his mum's face n hair cheekily. He was giggling. I was smiling at him coz he so reminds me of my Rizq. Suddenly, his mum gave a tight slap on his face. So hard it could hear the slap. She also slapped his arm n legs as hard as she could. I think shes a monster! I wanted to scream at her but the way starred back at me, told me to stay out of it. I walked as far away from her in the train coz i cudnt bare see her beating her baby anymore.

Always nice talking to a old buddy you havent seen i ages.

What do we have Ian Desmond projected to do?

Need to meet the Ian Desmond look alike we spotted at the gym today �

When we got there I made the remainder of the team become the Nova Scotia Braves & then I started to trade the ones that remained at Nats camp because they told me that they all couldnt just leave & besides they would remain non quadron for awhile. I sent Dan Espinosa to the Reds along with his son Ian Desmond knowing that I was headed back there anyway.

I can see Ian Desmond or Danny Espinosa using the “thrift shop� as their walk-up batting song.

| | Feeling 'great,' Desmond eager to take next step: Like the Nationals, Ian Desmond is...

Just back from the cinema odeon on freemans common with Amanda William and Desmond to watch The life of PI. Didnt see much of the film tho z :)

Larry Bowa thinks Ian Desmond is the best SS in MLB?

Ian Desmond, Danny Espinosa among the many players in the Nationals' camp today, going through informal workouts.

Larry Bowa ranked Ian Desmond as the best short stop lol. Get real bro.

Round 5 of the best MLB shortstop: Clint Barmes vs. Ian Desmond for Barmes for Desmond

Jordan Zimmermann and Ian Desmond on the possibility of multi-year deals

Had a great time yesterday. First up was the annual NatsFest. Mark and I saw two of the newest Nationals, Denard Span and Dan Haren, and watched Bryce Harper, Jordan Zimmermann, Gio Gonzales, Tyler Clippard, Ian Desmond, Kurt Suzuki, and Ross Detwiler speaking. Ryan Mattheus was walking in front of me and I got to shake his hand. Fun times for a Nationals Fan!! Then, we met Fulda Friends and had a great dinner at Jackson 20 in Alexandria. They had goat on the menu - I ordered trout but asked for a taste of the goat! Interesting!

Ian Desmond throws HUGE lips now! Stepped up his game in the offseason, must have been training with Raul Ibanez and Roger Bernadina

Last season, Jhonny P. had a higher Defensive WAR (and I can go on all day, as to why) than *Asdrubal Cabrera, Ian Desmond, *Stephen Drew, Jimmy Rollins, and oddly Jose Reyes. Derek Jeter took absolute dead- last in the MLB with a -1.4 WAR. -Stephan * denotes potential Tigers' trade targets.

“I prefer this | | over this \ / .� What's that mean. Explain it to me Mr. Ian Desmond

Not too jealous on that one. His offensive stats last year were similar to Ian Desmond, who will cost us $14 mil less per year

If I get an Ian Desmond jersey for Christmas, mark my words, I will not take it off

Desmond texted raven looking for me cause ian text him back .

You're just sore because I ranked Ian Desmond higher, on the flimsy premise that he's sort of (but not at all) an Expo.

Second physical therapy visit - guess who was there?! None other than my favorite National (besides Ian Desmond) and most fav player since Cal. Ryan Zimmerman! No chance to chat (he was all business and working hard and I was working with the pt) . Wouldn't have missed chance to say hey if could've ... Maybe next time :) Least I suppressed the overwhelming urge to squeal and devolve into a complete goofus. ;)

"We've never played a playoff game at Nats Park. I know there are some people back home with some Natitude." -- Ian Desmond

Fans to Ian Desmond: "Don't lose. And don't be the Pirates."

Prior to the season, Ian Desmond changed his number from 6 to 20, in honor of Frank Robinson. Today, he caught Robinson's first pitch.
