Insight, observations (and whatever else comes to mind) on the trails of the team that ended the quarter century-long parade drought in the City of Brotherly Love - the Philadelphia Phillies.

Happ sent down; Gordon to get second opinion on elbow

Before the Phillies declare him out for the season, injured reliever Tom Gordon will visit with Dr. Lew Yocum Monday.

Yocum performed Tommy John surgery on Gordon in 1999.

Also, J.A. Happ was "extremely disappointed" to learn he was being sent back to Lehigh Valley. To make room for new left-handed reliever Scott Eyre, Happ was optioned to the Phils' Triple-A affiliate.

Happ, who has been in the bullpen for the last two weeks, will return to his role as a starter. He'll likely be back up with the big league team when rosters expand on September 1.
