This is a great song by Ruben Blades, i think is made to express and tell the world of a situation that is very common in latin american countries.
The lyrics of the "La segunda mitad del noveno" seems to allude to the critical moment we are living in the country: at any moment we may drown in the well of militarism in which we have fallen. The baseball metaphor is appropriate for a country like ours, because allbody can easily see the serious moment. The references to Bob Canel Lavalerie Musiu already approaching this message further to the Venezuelan.
