Sadly I agree. Blogs would be fine if they were serving a purpose, but the larger problem is that the Chronicle is just weak journalism. The only reason they've gotten any attention lately is because of the sheer number of scandals, potential scandals and natural disasters that have been somehow related to Houston over the last few years. I'm no fan of Dallas and I don't bother to read their paper, but the DMN is the only paper in Texas that deserves and receives any national prominence. This is, as you said, a disgrace.
