Olympic preview

NBC baseball commentator Matt Vasgersian provides a (rather poor) preview of the main contenders in the Olympic baseball tournament, from a very MLB-centric perspective. There's a summary of the story of the Greek (-American) team, but Netherlands or Italy are dismissed with scare quotes as "perennial baseball powers". Wouldn't it be funny if the Netherlands beat Cuba again, like they did during the Sydney Olympics? Vasgersian also fails to mention Chinese Taipai, whose inclusion as an Asian representative means that the 2000 bronze medalists, Korea, will not be participating.
