Wayne Mardle believes defeat to James Wade on Thursday means Raymond van Barnevelds hopes of a Premier League top four finish are over.The big Dutchman has again been inconsistent through the Premier League and slipped to a 7-4 defeat against the Machine in Sheffield on the first night of the second phase of the competition.After a draw with Michael van Gerwen last week on Judgement Night, Barney needed a win to keep alive hopes of joining the battle to make Finals Night at the O2 in May. However, in a nip and tuck contest that saw nine successive holds of throw to start proceedings, Wade broke in the tenth leg for a crucial advantage which he consolidated to win the match and take the points - coupled with other results, van Barneveld is now five points adrift of Adrian Lewis in fourth spot. Premier League results - Night Ten James Wade 7-4 Raymond van Barnveld Gary Anderson 3-7 Phil Taylor Robert Thornton 5-7 Michael van Gerwen Adrian Lewis 6-6 Peter Wright Phil Taylor 7-4 James Wade And while seven wins and a draw in the second half of the 2015 Premier League saw him rise from the brink of elimination to the play-offs, Sky Sports expert Mardle feels with the standard of this years event a repeat for Barney is unlikely.At the start John [Part] said there are eight players playing but only six realistically have a chance of the play-offs, Mardle told Sky Sports.But now Barney and Robert Thornton....mathematically they can still do it I think but they have to rely on so many other results that it is not going to happenThe others have it all to fight for.Barney plays twice in Belfast next week against Robert Thornton and top of the table Phil Taylor, so all is not lost but maximum points will be required, although Part feels the ship has sailed.Any chances he had are right out the window, Part added. Premier League - Night 11 fixtures Robert Thornton v Peter Wright Raymond van Barneveld v Phil Taylor James Wade v Adrian Lewis Michael van Gerwen v Gary Anderson Raymond van Barneveld v Robert Thornton After defeat to Taylor in the final match of the night Wade is in fifth, locked on 13 points with Lewis and Gary Anderson who occupy the final play-off places - but Part believes the Machines performances suggest the 2009 Premier League champion has what it takes to go all the way again.He is one of the hardest guys to analyse week-to-week for what to expect but so many nights he just does a very professional job, Part told Sky Sports.He is going about his business while everyone is talking about everyone else. He is doing a really good job of playing really good professional darts.Also See:Night ten reportAs it happenedFixtures/ResultsPremier League TableJordan Greenway Wild Jersey .

Pence singled in the winning run with no outs in the ninth inning to give the Giants a 7-6 victory over the San Diego Padres on Sunday.KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- By just about any measure, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had as good of an offseason as anyone.It began when he reached a five-year, $46 million contract extension that included $20 million in guarantees -- a deal signed while he was in Hawaii, no less. It continued with the filming of a reality TV show in which 50 women tried to impress the 27-year-old bachelor enough to win his love.His season is turning out to be pretty good, too.Kelce had eight catches for a career-best 140 yards in Sundays win over Atlanta, which allowed Kansas City to remain a game behind Oakland in the AFC West. It was the former third-round picks third straight 100-yard receiving effort, one shy of the franchise record set by Tony Gonzalez in 2000. Hell have a chance to match it in a pivotal Thursday night showdown with the Raiders .The guys so unique. One of the most unique tight ends in the NFL, Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith said. I think of what he can do -- he has so many different strengths.Most of them are in the passing game, where his hands and ability to run essentially turns him into an extra wide receiver. That has proven to be critical the past few weeks while Jeremy Maclin, the Chiefs top wide receiver, has been dealing with a lingering groin injury.His big-play ability was evident right from the start in Atlanta, when Kelce hauled in back-to-back catches of 21 and 35 yards to help the Chiefs answer the Falcons opening-drive touchdown.For a big guy to have the kind of vision he does, you saw it on the opening drive, Smith said. The first catch, to go up and get that in traffic, and then he beats the safety one-on-one (one the next catch) to get us down to the goal line. Obviously, hes a heck of a player.He even got props from the safety he beat on that play, Keanu Neal.Hes a technician, smart with his routes, and he knows how to play the game, Neal said after the game. Hes a great route-runner and can play ball. Thats why hes a Pro Bowler.Its also why the Chiefs have begun to target him more often.He was only targeted three times apiece in back-to-back games against Oakland and New Orleans earlier this season, catchinng five passes for 57 yards combined.dddddddddddd But he has been targeted at least eight times each of the past three weeks, including 15 targets in his 101-yard effort two weeks ago in Denver.The result has been 23 catches for 349 yards over the past three games .Normally in big games, your good players show up, Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. Hes always going to be a part of our game plan. Wed be foolish not to make him a part. So then you have to kind of overcome the other teams plan and try to do something else if they double him. Weve moved him all over the place, so were lucky he can do that.Indeed, Kelce is comfortable lining up in the traditional tight end position at the end of the line, but hes just as relaxed lining up in the slot or even wide in formations.The most impressive thing to me is in the pass game, how he matches up on different people, Falcons coach Dan Quinn said. You have coverage on him, you think you have the right leverage and then he can stick a foot in the ground and change directions. Thats really hard for a big guy to do.Perhaps most impressive is that Kelce has managed to maintain his focus and drive, despite the flashy new contract, all those swooning women and his burgeoning superstardom. He is rarely in the locker room when reporters are around, and he tends to deflect questions that dont have anything to do with football.Good luck trying to get him to talk about his show, Catching Kelce.Which is perfectly fine with the Chiefs. They just want him to keep catching passes.Game notesWR Jeremy Maclin, who has missed four games with a groin injury, practiced Tuesday and could be available. I know hes feeling better, Reid said. Were optimistic. ... The forecast for Thursday night calls for temperatures in the teens with a wind chill that could approach single digits. Its going to be freezing, most definitely, said WR Tyreek Hill, a Florida native.
