“When it was first announced that Peter Dinklage would be playing Hervé Villechaize in HBO’s MY DINNER WITH HERVÉ, a bit of a controversy flared up as some claimed that the casting would be white-washing. It was believed that Villechaize was half-Filipino.”

Dinklage set the record straight. Herve was NOT Filipino, or anything similar. His ancestry was 100% from Western Europe.

The game went 13 innings, and had to be timed in light years rather than hours. (Well, it seemed that way. Actual time: 5 hours, 15 minutes.) The Dodgers finally won it with two outs in the 13th on a walk-off hit by Cody Bellinger.

Brewers relievers held the Blue Wave scoreless for 11 consecutive innings, striking out 17 in the process, but they finally ran out of steam. And out of pitchers. The last four frames were tossed by a starter, Junior Guerra, who finally allowed a run.

Not to be outdone, the Dodgers’ relievers – all eight of them – allowed no runs at all. The W went to Julio Urias, a bespectacled kid who is 22, but looks about 12. He pitched only 4 innings all season! Strange doings.

The series is now tied 2-2. What a battle for the ages. It has been a killer for those who bite their nails because three of the games have been decided by a single run, and even the 4-0 Brewers victory could have been tied in the final at bat, because the Dodgers had loaded the bases in the bottom of the ninth!
