RewriteRule ^blog/([0-9]+)/$ blog.php?year=$1 [L,NC,QSA] RewriteRule ^blog/([0-9]+)-([a-zA-Z-]+)/$ blog.php?id=$1&title=$2 [L,NC,QSA]

Or is it better practise to use something like this:
RewriteRule ^blog/([0-9]+)/$ blog.php?year=$1 [L,NC,QSA] RewriteRule ^blog/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)-([a-zA-Z-]+)/$ blog.php?year=$1&id=$2&title=$3 [L,NC,QSA]
