"Our Mutual Friend"?

[Joel S. Berson]

"The rained-out Yankees-Athletics game on Monday night will be made
up on Thursday, July 23, at 7:00 p.m. The date had been a mutual day
off for both teams."

By Tyler Kepner, writing in today's NYTimes in an article about
Wednesday's Yankees' game.  Perhaps he meant that neither team was
planning to go to the betting windows that day.
