30 Rock - "Cougars"
Summary:
As part of his community service, Tracy must coach a little league team. All goes well until Jack takes interest in the team and turmoil starts from there. Meanwhile, Liz is asked out on a date by Jamie, the new coffee boy, who thinks Liz is actually younger than she truly is.
I realize it was on last night and these are usually started the morning of, but I just couldn't believe there wasn't a thread on this yet.
Tracy - "Hey Liz Lemon, I'm going to an animals only strip club, interested?"
Liz - "So, does that mean the animals strip or the animals are the customers?"
Tracy - "Animal customers? That's ridiculous"
"These things happen Liz. I had my no sex with asians rule but then one day you walk into Sharper Image and there's Kwan."
"Jack, have you ever been to Knuckle Beach? It's an entirely different world, one where orange soda is an acceptable substitute for breast milk!"

The reveal of the guy's Mom was awesome.

I gotta go with:
"Someday I'll have an office like this. To clean."
Jamie's mom reveal.
It was an OK episode, not up to usual standards, but had enough good lines to make up for the idiotic baseball plot.

Wasn't the best episode, but still hilarious, nonetheless.
I'm pretty much repeating what other posters already have quoted, but my favorite lines are...
Tracy - "Hey Liz Lemon, I'm going to an animals only strip club, interested?"
Liz - "So, does that mean the animals strip or the animals are the customers?"
Tracy - "Animal customers? That's ridiculous"
"Someday I'll have an office like this. To clean." The whole bit with the kids in Jack's office was great stuff.
I also liked Liz dating the young coffee guy, but Jenna with that really young kid felt forced and wasn't funny.
Next week is a Christmas episode!

My local affiliate had all the audio with the exception of the vocal track when the show started. At first I thought it was some kind of commentary on the writer's strike by 30 Rock, but I watched the full West coast feed which was normal and realized it was just some kind of odd bug the first time through.

On a side note, what happened to Rachel Dratch? Has she been in any episodes this season at all? It's a shame that she left SNL to star in a new series, only to be demoted, and then eliminated.
