postseason runs, game-by-game, on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights at 6 p.m. PT, with a gamethread for each.

Why should we care about this? Well, Barry Zito had been so terrible in camp (after a bad and injury-marred 2011 season) that one Chronicle writer started a rumor during spring training that he was going to be DFA’d with three full years to go on his disastrous contract. Surkamp, who’d made a couple of emergency starts up from AA in 2011 and was the next in line for the rotation if Zito was somehow out of it, had pitched well in the Cactus League up until that point. With the season less than two weeks away, the Giants’ r
