Sidney Crosby said he was "locked in" to Wednesday's Game 5 between the Blue Jays and Rangers, but he should really focus on getting his team out of its current early-season malaise.

Crosby, a Canadian, is rooting for Toronto to go all the way and had no problems with Jose Bautista's infamous bat flip during the club's crazy 6-3 victory, which clinched its first trip to the ALCS in 1993.

"You've got 50,000 people at home, with a home run like that, that's just pure emotion," Crosby said via The Star. "I don't think he was trying to show anybody up. We've all been in different situations. That was pretty exciting. If there was a time for one, that would probably be it."
