Sorry Mike but this is a confusing mess you've displayed here and well let's get some clarity going.
1) If your flight was changed (not delayed) it should have left at 11:30 not 10:05. If it left 1 1/2 hour earlier, I'm assuming this was a delayed flight that left earlier.
2) Let's use the term "bumping" properly here. When you're bumped, means you have no seat on an overbooked flight. Not standby because if your standby they don't give you anything. Bumped you at least get some cash back, hotel, whatever they will give you. (here's a tip folks, if you arrive at the airport, the flight is overbooked, and you don't have a seat, they will ask if you want cash or travel certificate... take the cash!) So now we can guess that you were standby for the flight that you were "bumped" off?
3) going to LGA isn't so bad, and if need be you can take a bus to port authority to get to wherever you need to go, especially if you live in the NY/NJ/CT/PA area. Also if their flight cancelled they should have rebooked you out best they can, even with a connection. Some agents, for some unknown reason won't do it, but others will. I think its in delta's coontract of carriage to put you on a connection at least, as they've done it for me numerous times. (United still ranks as best to me)
