Giants pitcher Barry Zito will make his third rehab startThursday, this time with the Triple-A Fresno Grizzlies after two starts withSingle-A San Jose, as he attempts to rejoin the Giants following a right footsprain."This is all pretty new to me, rehab, so I didn't knowwhat to expect going into it," Zito said. "But I can only imagine anyexpectation I might have had would be exceeded by how well I'm throwing and byhow good I feel physically."If they needed me right now, I'm sure I'd be ready togo."
