So if I'm reading the above correctly...
The flight was out of the gate at 2:07 AM, which was four hours and two minutes late.
The flight took off at 2:19 AM
The flight landed at 3:12 AM
The flight was in the gate at 3:18 AM, which was three hours and 54 minutes late

I identified the bag as mine and stated I was not an employee to a FA and she looked a bit puzzled seeing the "United" on the yellow wrap, but she said ok and nothing further came from it.
I haven't had to gate check a bag in quite a while...but flew ORD-GRR on a 145 the other day. I was the 6th or 7th pax to board and drop my bad on the jet bridge, and my bag was the first one off the plane when we landed. I think the handle wrap helped.

"The Box" is
the penalty box
`Place where planes--generally after ground stop, GDP, or just running late get to wait while their gate opens; may also be used on departures for metering or flow delays. ORD actually has a space officially called the "Penalty Box" [on airport diagrams and a "Scenic Pad"] but used generically as a place somewhere out of ATC's way to bide time.`
