Sitting at the table doesn't make you a diner, unless you eat some of what's on that plate. Being here in America doesn't make you an American. Being born here in America doesn't make you an American.

Kathleen Zelman
His plate is full and then some. He's not adverse to getting involved in any issue, but he sometimes spreads himself too thin.

We have some big decisions on our plate.
Henry Leger
They jumped on us early. They were up 9-3, but Blaine Stewart just had a monster day at the plate for us.
Matt Asher

B.j. Upton
This apartment would be described as unlivable -- trash, alcohol, plugged-in hot plate they could touch.
Donny Moses
Overall, I was pleased with the way our pitchers stayed in control and our approach at the plate. But our defense got sloppy on us in the second game.
Cory Schaefer
Cheney has really stepped up for us offensively. She seems extremely confident up at the plate and if she can continue that trend in conference we should be successful.
Stacey Sullivan
What helped us a lot was being patient at the plate in that one inning. Against a great pitcher you have to do what you have to do for your team. Take a walk, a hit batter; anyway we can get a runner on.
Thad Dickey
I feel real comfortable at the plate right now. The coaches have been helping me and I've been seeing pitches real well.
David Flores
What happens is he's trying to go away there. Javy Lopez was set up down and away. That's what we do as hitters, we hit mistakes. The ball came over the inside part of the plate and I put a good swing on it. I got the barrel to the ball.
Kevin Millar
We have volunteers all ready to step up to the plate, ... We're going to push it as much as we can.
Donald Bailey
I think the building needs to be used for economic development and I don't think Smoky Mountain Development has been able to accomplish that. They need that off their plate. It is in Haywood County so let Haywood County take it and make something out of it.
Larry Ammons
Obviously, her bat is what got me interested. She hit the ball extremely well, but her arm strength from behind the plate was also a key reason why we brought her on.
Holly Van Vlymen
This is one item where people aren't afraid to step to the plate and spend some money.

Dana Fiedler
The truth is that this is the worst I've ever felt at the plate for this long a period of time.
Richie Sexson
Over the plate, where it shouldn't have been. And pitching to Guerrero is a challenge, facing a great hitter. But he's conscious of us going in on him. He never chased a slider in the second [inning] just off the plate. Then when I came in in the third, I didn't get in far enough and he belted it.
Jeff Harris
HUSBAND, n. One who, having dined, is charged with the care of the plate.
Ambrose Bierce
Its head and face resembled an alligator, ... It looked to have armored plate over its blue eyes with orange colored cheeks, a body like a snake that felt like a dogfish and had big fins that looked like feet with toenails underneath.
Ralph Carter
It seems like Justin pitches better when the pressure is on and the bases are loaded. He put a lot of pitches over the plate in those situations, and our defense helped him out.
Kalem Norton
The expectations are very high for them down the road. Kristina is a very good athlete, and Michelle will come around at the plate in time.
Pete Catenacci
Haggard steps up to the plate and does what he needs to do.
Larry Green
What really affects us is the guys in front of us. When you have people on base it causes problems for them when we come up. If nobody is on base, they can be a little more fine with their pitches and not have to worry about leaving anything out over the plate.
Garret Anderson
When he hit that ball, it was a batting-practice fastball over the plate and he hit it on the screws. It went to the furthest part of the park.
Scott Mathieson
It was a very exciting offensive game, ... Hopefully it won't get like that this year. I think our defense will be able to hold them back. If it does get into a shootout, we'll just have to step up to the plate as an offense.
Jeff Faine
They were crowding the plate and got to a lot of outside pitches. We changed the location and we changed what pitches we were throwing, too. That pitch was effective.

Gai Waterhouse
When you leave a ball out over the plate to a guy like Andruw Jones, he doesn't miss very many.
Brian Schneider
I can't lift a dinner plate past my waist.
Norm Mansfield
Behind the plate, as good as it gets. Good arm, good receiver, excellent game calling. He knew every pitcher was different and called the game accordingly – he used what you had that day.
Norm Charlton
There's no doubt she might be the best hitter in the Classic 8 Conference. She hits the ball hard all the time. Plus, she swings at good pitches. She's impressive at the plate, no doubt about it.
Scott Graf
It's baseball. What can I say? Too much plate.
Jorge Julio
My plate was overflowing, especially with the Mexican chips. Some of the things I didn't like. It was three things I didn't like.
John Willard
Travis had a big game. Matt continues to get some big hits for us, and Nicky is starting to swing a little bit more. He hit a couple balls really hard and he's looking better at the plate.
Cory Williams
Be on the lookout for times you eat when you're not hungry. Look at portion sizes and the balance of foods on your plate. Are you getting items from each food group, a good balance of carbohydrates, protein and fat?
Leslie Fontenot
I have a few household accidents, maybe drop a cup or two or smash a plate, but nothing like this has ever happened to me before.
Nick Flynn
Right now things seem to be going well at the plate. But the offensive thing comes and goes. You still have to pitch and play defense.
David York
The kids hit the ball well today - in fact, if anything we might have been a little too aggressive at the plate. Jared and Ethan both had very good at-bats.
Chuck Grant
We hit a little bit. It was good to see guys get up there and be successful at the plate.
Tracy Archuleta
The biggest key today was the guys giving me a cushion. I was able to use more of the plate than usual and guys, fortunately, hit the ball at people.
John Lackey
We had so many opportunities today. And we just pressed at the plate. There were three or four times where we could have broken the game open.
Karen Mullins
Put it this way: When she comes to the plate, you know the ball is going to get hit hard. It's just a matter of how hard and how far.
Tom Horvath
I feel great. Right now, it's just location. I've left some balls over the plate the last couple of outings.
Joe Nathan
Christian didn't have his best overall game, but he got the job done against the defending conference champion. He had a tough time getting the ball over the plate at times, but our offense responded to back him.
Allen Plyler
I'll do whatever they need, but I'm definitely more comfortable behind the plate.
Nick Herrera
Daytona and Talladega make me nervous. They're restrictor plate races. (The cars) are bunched up all day long.
Diane Green
He can throw to both sides of the plate with all his pitches. If there is a way to get a hitter out and he knows it, he can execute it.
Dave Duncan
Our kids have been hitting a lot better lately. They're getting on base more consistently. We sometimes have trouble bringing them across the plate, but we're putting ourselves in a position to win more consistently.
Sarah Southern
It wasn't the best game of baseball that we have played, but we played with energy and were able to get the win. Maine deserves a lot of credit for the way they played. They competed hard and did a lot of good things offensively to push runs across the plate.
Mike Bianco
When I'm elected mayor I will give back the mayor's parking space at City Hall and take the name plate off the mayor's office door.
Frank Coccho
But instead, the Legislature closed the gate on a group of its citizens. When it comes to constitutional questions that relate to the worth and dignity of individuals, this court has always stepped up to the plate and should do so here, as well.
David Buckel
(Garner) admitted that he didn't intend to hit him. But a kid walks to the plate and blows you a kiss, yea there's some bad feelings.
Mike Hansen
It's so important at the high school level to be able to get the ball over the plate. This staff will win some games if they continue to do that.
Chad Spalding
It was nice to have a big inning like that. In between games we talked about adjustments at the plate. We got on base and made them throw the ball all over the park. It was a total team effort.
Holly Van Vlymen
The players showed an awful lot of patience at the plate and we took advantage of the walks. That's good to see.
Dave Bradley
Even (Jay) Gibbons was saying as he came to the plate that he had never seen Tejada do that.
Gregg Zaun
He came up and in, and I?m just protecting the plate right there. I did a good job of getting the bat to the ball and got a little help from the wind.
John Olerud
Tonight we didn't get the big hit and we had too many errors. We have to execute at the plate and on the field. I know we can. They were playing not to lose instead of playing to win.
Amanda Bussell
We came out with a little intensity, offensively we were ok, we did some things wrong, but when we were out in front of the plate we stung them.
Scooter Dunn
Now he can throw it to a lefthander and it looks like `strike, strike, strike,' then at the last second it moves out of the strike zone, ... Or he can throw it inside, and at the last second it catches the plate.
Gil Patterson
Those guys will get overmatched at the plate, but defensively they're doing a good job.
Mike Verrill
Matt said he had good movement. (His pitches) normally will drop. I've got two good pitchers, and I put Matt behind the plate today and Gary on the mound. Most people when they face Gary will hit little grounders to third, and Layton is the best glove in the area.
Hank Zizzi
We had only four strikeouts in the game and batted well at the plate.
Dale Lortz
Our pitchers were great today. They put the ball over the plate and we played solid defense behind them.
Lloyd Hulit
The bottom line is it's all taxpayers money, and the main thing was to get it done. This was two healthy entities stepping up to the plate to get something done.
Bill Wyatt
[In that situation] I have to hit my spots and not throw it over the plate, ... If I just keep it down and away, I'll have my best chance.
Akinori Otsuka
Americans have always been there for one another, ... We're like a family. When one sibling is in need, it's up to the others to step up to the plate and help out. Today it's the Gulf Coast that needs help.
Richard Codey
It was a big thrill for them. I took a peek up there after I crossed home plate, and they were all jumping up and down. It was great.
Chris Denorfia
Due to the timing and everything our plate is full. We haven't been taking on new customers that haven't already signed contracts.
Michelle Shafer
He's a very solid catcher, very good behind the plate. The pitchers love throwing to him. His head is always in the game.
Rocket Wheeler
Hoffman just made a mistake and put something over the plate I could hit.
Brian Giles
The girls hit the ball well and were patient at the plate. They swung at the pitches they could hit.
Craig Lauger
Corporate spending will be very critical in 2006, and it appears that businesses are stepping up to the plate.
Robert Dederick
He (Austin) just missed his spot and it got out over the plate. With a big kid like that, he (Jimenez) just got around on it.
Joe Durant
We've got a lot of guys out there that think they're All-Americans, but they've got to produce. If they're as good as they're supposed to be, they're gonna have to step up to the plate.
Doug Baggett
I knew I was going to not remember it because there was too much going on, ... So, when I ran down the street and got the plate number, I yelled to the girls: 'Remember this!'
Patricia Clark
The girls stepped up to the plate. They wanted to win because they knew it was a big one.
Theresa Adams
I'm very, very hopeful the project is going to go forward. I'm glad the port has stepped up to the plate and is delivering on its promise.
Jayme Wilson
I thought we didn't choose very good pitches to swing at. We were anxious to hit and didn't make good choices at the plate.
Connie Finn
He was unbelievable. He's pitching great. Now he's starting to get comfortable and get into the flow of the game. When he came over, he hadn't pitched that many innings. Now he's getting into a groove and really commanding the inside part of the plate.
Gerald Laird
It enables you to create balance and direction over the rubber. It freed him to where all his energy was going to home plate. His command today was outstanding. He just nailed a spot over and over and over again.
Mike Butcher
Our hitting one through nine really came to the plate. We hit the ball very hard, and that's something that continues to be a strong point of the team.
Leslie King
I had no idea he was this good as a complete player, at the plate and on the mound. We're very lucky to have him.
Dru Mahoney
(Buchanan) made an unbelievable play. He did a great job blocking the plate.
Donnie Branch
We feel we stepped up to the plate.
Mark Macleod
The wrong umpire made the initial call. That's the plate umpire's call. I had it lined up. It's my call, and I had him leaving early and called him out.
Bob Davidson
He is not a guy you can go up to the plate trying to pull. He throws the ball hard and is somewhat intimidating, but you can't let it get to you.
Brent Coleman
[The mother's] going to have needs and limitations so he's being called to step up to the plate to meet her needs and take some of that [pressure] off and be there as an emotional and physical resource.
Gloria Hamilton
We're at the point now of writing our own music. But, musically, we challenge anyone to step up to the plate with us.
Randy Monroe
Robert DeNiro has been trying to get it done for a few years, and hopefully the movie happens and I'll be in it. I've got my plate full right now, so we'll see what happens.
Patrick Wilson
He can play anywhere. He's great defensively and he's solid at the plate. He's got some power.
Andy Harmon
People really have stepped up to the plate.
Terry Riley
We swung at way too many bad pitches in both games. We need stronger fundamentals at the plate. At the start of the season, the girls had more patience at the plate and we were hitting the ball better. We're just going after too many bad pitches.
Dave Schweder
Hasn't stepped up to the plate.
Brian Westbrook
He is a bulldog. He is a three-pitch guy, and what impresses me is his ability to work both sides of the plate.
Rick Kranitz
Let me tell you, sisters, seeing dried egg on a plate in the morning is a lot dirtier than anything I've had to deal with in politics.
Ann Richards
Hitting is business. With two strikes you really protect that plate.
Bill Terry
I didn't see the stop sign at all, and then I didn't see that (Barajas) was blocking the plate until it was too late. If I slide, maybe it's a one-run game.
Raul Ibanez
We're only as good as that plate of nachos or that plate that's going out right now. If they are going to wait an hour and a half, it better be damn good. It better be exceptional, and they better be entertained while they wait.
Jim Garcia
We're talking about 50,000 times that of plate tectonic motion.
Xiaodong Song
That's the most I can remember anyone striking out in all my time here. We didn't go to the plate with a mission, and we didn't make any adjustments.
Chris Cauble
We were really patient at the plate today. This early in the season, that's a good sign.
Courtney Harrness
The Mid Ohio Athletic Conference teams will have some challenge facing that group. We are a young team but give credit to Sophie. We knew we would have our hands full at the plate.
Bobby Vitek
There's so much history with this one, we think three heads are better than one. I hate to see this go on like this. ... We're going to step up to the plate.
Dan Parsons
Kara Myers continues to be hot at the plate and Amanda Gordon hit her third home run in four games. Jaime Leitch is turning into a very potent No. 9 batter. Toot McCool continues to do a great job at the top of the order.
Kris Vancas
We had other things on our plate in Atlantic City.
David Strow
We had decided to intentionally walk him any time he came to the plate with guys on base.
Joe Bradley
Drew had a big day. He did a good job playing first base for us and made some things happen at the plate. His bunt was perfect. That was just well executed, fundamental baseball.
Van Arnold
Sorry to keep heaping more on your plate.
Jake Fisher
Ryan hit another ball right to the wall. He looked much more comfortable at the plate today.
Brian Gruber
The only thing we can do is probably pray a lot. Hopefully he makes a lot of pitches up the middle of the plate and he's not on his game that day.
Bengie Molina
It's unfortunate we've had so many kids struggling at the plate at the same time.
Randy Noland
Our offense has been letting us down all season. Offensively, it's all about failed execution for us right now. We're making poor adjustments at the plate and we're missing signs both offensively and defensively.
Joel Barta
He made a good pitch. It was five inches off the plate.
Justin Frash
Is Home Plate cool or what?
Larry Crumpler
T.J. is athletic and versatile. He can help us at the corners, behind the plate, in the outfield, or at second base. He has a lot of talent.
John Massarelli
We couldn't have won the game without (Woods and Russell). Both of them came up to the plate and came through big time. This is the best game both of them have had at the same time this year.
Shawnda Vines
As soon as the ball hit the bat I was going. I was lucky it was a chopper. I just ran and hoped to God I was safe. When I saw him get the ball I knew it was going to be close. I was just trying to go as hard as I [could]. I knew he was blocking the plate, so I just tried to go through him.
Joey Gathright
My biggest key to get back to the big leagues is getting consistent at the plate. My receiving is getting better, my throwing is better.
Justin Knoedler
There's only one way to become a hitter. Go up to the plate and get mad. Get mad at yourself and mad at the pitcher.
Ted Williams
Municipalities have an obligation to step up to the plate.
Ryan Costello
She always seems to know where she should be and when to be there. At the plate she's starting to hit a lot better. She always seems to find a way to get on base.
Allison Maire
Brett had a strong day for us on the mound and at the plate. He really gave us a boost when we needed it.
Mike Allison
You've got to try to jump on a pitch early, get something that gets a little bit of the plate. If they make a mistake, you've got to be going after it.
Phil Garner
It is a huge price. Given how dominant Chevy has been in restrictor plate races, how do you pick a Ford here?
Micah Roberts
I don't know what the count was, but I know I had two strikes. I was protecting anything close. She just happened to put one over the plate and I just swung.
Nichole Beall
He had a handicapped license plate, and they could have seen he wasn't going to be able to fight back. They could have asked him to get out of the car and he would have.
Diane Thomas
That was a phenomenal catch. Bailey is a great ball player, because she caught that ball and had a couple of big hits at the plate.
Randy Osnes
His biggest problem isn't his arm ? he has a great arm. His problem is his inconsistency. One time he looks good, the next time he fails to get it over the plate. If it's 3-1 or 3-2, hitters will rip you. He has to do it today, then do it five days from now.
Tom Brookens
As a part of our campaign, we're launching a series of real-people, paper-plate dinners.
Rod Shealy
It reflects about 140 square feet of focused light onto the drum roaster. The external plate heats up to 1,200 degrees, which radiates heat to the inside of the oven.
Michael Hartkop
Nicole did a nice job at the plate today. She came up with clutch hits when we needed them.
Judy Shaubach
This has been the hottest topic on our plate since the new administration took over. We know you're going to have people who are split 50-50 [over where to play the game].
Damon Evans
There's lots of opportunity for private people to step up to the plate and make affordable housing happen.
Patsy French
She has gotten used to Division I pitching. She has been really selective at the plate.
Joanne Graf
We finally came out and put somebody away. We've been winning but they've been close game. We've talking about being more aggressive at the plate and the offense came around like it should. We haven't done that in a while.
Aaron Misasi
If the requests continue, we will continue to meet them. Provinces will probably also step up to the plate with their emergency stockpiles.
Anne Mclellan
The branded industry is losing drugs from patent and the generic industry is circling like buzzards to pick them up. It's wonderful for the generic pharmaceutical industry. There's more food on the plate.
Casey Alexander
We're struggling at the plate, and it happens early sometimes. We've got some thunder in this lineup, we've got some veteran guys, and it's going to come around. It's just a matter of time.
Kevin Hooper
I've been a little overdue. I felt like I've been pressing a little at the plate the last couple of weeks.
Sean Doolittle
We've faced some good pitchers, but some guys have also been pressing and putting too much pressure on themselves. We finally had a good day at the plate.
Chuck Fehr
He got me. It wasn't too bad of a pitch, maybe (it) caught a lot of the plate though. It was down, and I was trying to get a double-play ball. You have to tip your hat, he got me.
Greg Maddux
They're pretty much denying any responsibility for the death of Patrick. It's pretty much a boiler-plate denial of responsibility.
Tommy Overton
It was a good weekend for us with our pitching and defense being very solid and we were very aggressive at the plate.
Dale Lortz
He has to stay off his leg for six weeks and in six months to a year he'll be able to get the plate out.
Keith Young
We loved listening to stories about the pets and what they are like and the things they do. One dog took care of his brother who had cancer by taking the food plate to him.
James Eckelberry
Boeing is going through a period of record growth in their commercial airline build rates and they have an awful lot on their plate. And so I think it's great that they've finally got around to making these decisions, getting past them and moving on.
Jon Kutler
We really battled today on the mound and at the plate. We were able to capitalize on some opportunities, especially in the big inning, and that carried us to the win.
Craig Gibson
We need to ask employers to step up to the plate.
Rep. Martin Walsh
She's one of the biggest talents we have. She's brilliant behind the plate and she's a good contact hitter with power.
Allison Maire
My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, but just enjoy your ice cream while it's on your plate.
Thornton Wilder
She (Brenneman) had a better game against Lyman Hall the other day. She felt a little squeezed at the plate but that happens and she has to adjust to that and make the transition.
Maureen Disorbo
We're young, but we have good athletes. We've obviously been struggling at the plate, but our hitting is going to come. The pitching and defense are already there.
Steve Perdue
It's important to get quick outs and be efficient on the mound, especially on a cold day. You want to work a little faster, and Matt was also working quickly. He had a great day behind the plate.
Bryan Brainer
If they step up to the plate and play hard we'll be in good shape. I like the early signs of what we're doing.
Dave Banducci
That's going to be one of the big questions on everyone's mind. There is going to be a lot of pressure on them to provide some path and explanation of that path. They have a lot on their plate.
Debbie Wang
When I saw him jump for it and it kicked away, I just put my head down. I kept on going, hoping there wasn't going to be a play at the plate.
Curtis Granderson
Our plate is full. We have a lot to do building our company organically and that is our key focus.
Jamie Dimon
Casey was exactly the person I wanted to have at the plate in that situation because she does an excellent job of watching the ball she doesn't swing at many bad pitches. She had the opportunity to win the game with one swing.
Leslie Huntington
The hit it really well. They are a good team and they had a good day at the plate.
Brian Hukel
I just fell behind and made a pitch up and over the plate.
Tim Worrell
There are tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of people who would be proud to have this license plate on their vehicles. We feel that those people deserve the opportunity to buy that flag, to buy that tag and have it on their vehicles.
Robert Hurst
I was looking for something in because coach told me to get on the plate and make him pitch me inside because I am an inside pull hitter and he pitched it inside and I ripped it down the line.
Patrick Hallett
Whenever I'm up to bat at the plate, she always yells little things. It would be weird not to hear her.
Ashley Grove
I've been getting consistent at-bats, which always helps, ... It's definitely helped me feel more comfortable at the plate.
Greg Dobbs
He's been one of our hotter hitters, better hitters, all year. He's got a good idea at the plate. He took advantage of a fastball and hit it pretty well.
Joe Mikulik
The difference in the game was our inability to catch the ball behind the plate.
Larry Thomas
He kept saying, `If you can't throw the ball over the plate, Ron, you can't pitch here in the big leagues,' .
Ron Guidry
If it is not for the local church stepping up to the plate, it is not going to get done.
Robert Sharp
