"It's where I want to be and I think it's something else the Lord has got for me to do and I'm going to go that way." 我很享受在家里和小孩在一起的时光，太喜欢了。我喜欢待在那，我想这是上帝的安排， 而我正打算接受这安排。 Wagner used an off day on Monday for a quick trip to his home in Crozet, Va., near Charlottesville. The Braves open a series at Washington on Tuesday. 利用星期一休假日出去晃晃。隔天勇士要出战国民。 Braves general manger Frank Wren said Wagner's decision is not a complete surprise. GM Frank Wren表示对这决定不很惊讶。 "We knew this was a possibility from the beginning," Wren said Monday. "We respect Billy's desire to be with his family and we are glad he is with us this year." 从一开始就知道有可能了，我尊重他和家人的决定，很开心他今年和能我们一起打拼。 The 2011 option for Wagner kicks in if he finishes 50 games this season. He is 1-0 with two saves and a 2.00 ERA in his first season as the Atlanta Braves' closer. 2011选择权的条件是出赛达50场。Wagner是第一年担任勇士closer，目前1胜0负2救援， ERA2.00。 Wagner has proved he has made a full recovery from his elbow surgery. The left- hander's fastball still hits the upper 90s on the radar gun. Wagner本人已证实他已经从手术中完全康复。速球依旧上看upper-90 mph。 He is sixth all-time with 387 career saves, including two this season. 本季2次，生涯累积387次救援成功，排名史上第六。 Wagner is chasing John Franco's record of 424 saves by a left-hander. In spring training, Wagner said he was motivated by the record, but now he says he'll retire even if he falls short of that mark this season. 目标是排名第五的John Franco的424次。Wagner在春训时表示将为了这目标而战，但现在 无论是否达成，本季结束後都将退休。 Wagner said he told manager Bobby Cox of his decision Friday so the Braves would know what to expect when preparing for next season. 星期五已通知教练Cox这个决定，让球队能提早为明年做准备。 "I really just wanted to make sure they know where I stand so if something comes up and they have to make a move they're not caught off-guard," Wagner said. 我真的想确定球队了解这件事的重要性，免得明年球队溃不成军。 Wagner said he didn't discuss the possibility of retirement during contract negotiations with the Braves last winter. 去年冬天谈合约时没有提及退休的可能性。 "No, I didn't think it was the time," he said. "I thought we should go on and get playing and see where it goes. We were planning to tell them at the right time." 当时不觉得该退休。只想着努力奋战打出好成绩。所以我计画在适当的时间宣布这消息。 Wagner said his decision so early in the 2010 season was not an indication he is not satisfied with his performance. 开季不久就宣布退休，不是因为对自己的表现不满意。 "It has no bearing on how I'm pitching," he said. "I just think it's the right time. I'd like to be able to go out when I feel halfway decent and not laboring to get through seasons and then I can enjoy my family when I'm done." 跟成绩无关。只是觉得时候到了。当不再处於颠峰，更无法一整年都在场上奋战时，於是 我就功德圆满，开始享受家庭生活了。 Wagner made his debut with Houston in 1995 and remained with the Astros through the 2003 season, when he set a career high with 44 saves. He was Philadelphia's closer for two years before four years with the Mets. He had elbow surgery in September, 2008, and returned with the Mets last season before he was traded to the Boston Red Sox. 1995年在太空人初登板，2003年拿下生涯单季最高44救援成功。之後还待过费城、大都会 。2008年九月动手术，去年被大都会交易到红袜。 He has a 2.38 ERA in 791 career games. 生涯出赛791场，ERA2.38。 Wagner and his wife, Sarah, have three sons and one daughter, ages 3 to 11. 育有3个儿子一个女儿，小的3岁，最大11岁。 He had a quick answer when asked about his plans for retirement. 简单一下形容自己退休之後的计画。 "I'm going to be a Little League coach with my kids," he said. "I enjoy it. I enjoy being around them and being on the farm and want to do a lot of stuff with my church. That's really what I want to do, just slow it down and see what comes along." 我要跟儿子去小联盟当教练。我喜欢棒球，喜欢种田，喜欢教堂。放慢脚步，期待未知的 新事物。 The Braves don't have an obvious closer in line for 2011. 勇士明年还没有closer。 Takashi Saito, also in his first season in Atlanta, has been a closer in his career, but he is 40. Peter Moylan, 31, has been effective in a set-up role but has only two career saves in his five years with the team. 斋藤隆也是在勇士的第一年，也曾经担任closer，但已经40岁了。Peter Moylan，31岁， 是个不错的中继，但五年之中只有2次救援成功。 去年RJ，今年又一个天才要退休了 右撇子用左手杀翻大联盟，何时还能有下一个? --
