I'm going to help you by learning to read the documentation; I'm not going to give you the answer flat out because that won't help you much here.
get_sidebar is the function call that is part of Wordpress. Go back to the link I provided and read through it.
The provide you the answer in the description section, in the usage and parameters section, and the first example all shows what wordpress does if you pass in an argument to the function.
In the example they are using the $name variable. For you it would be the string "blog". In either case, you should be able to extract what file get_sidebar( 'blog' ) is getting.
